There was someone here yesterday saying that their elderly parents were trapped in their house with water up to their necks. Have they given an update on whether or not they were able to get help?

Reed is really hamming it up.

This is a deluge with constant lightning in the UWS. Is there any reason to be concerned about the weak couplet moving east from NJ? I don't see any warnings posted.

Is that the center of Fay over the Pennsylvania, NY border heading east? Last I checked the center was moving north through the city. Or is that a different system that absorbed Fay's energy?

I'm in the UWS. I haven't seen heavy, sustained rain like this in a long time. Lightning and thunder every 10-20 seconds. It looks like there's a weak couplet northwest of the city, around Paterson, where the VIL is around 45 kg/m^2. I imagine that's where the big hail is falling.

This one's going straight for Alabama. 

Has anyone compiled a list of webcams and chasers broadcasting in the Bahamas?

Looks like there's some sheer with this storm, but luckily nothing wrapped up tight. Gusts of wind, no rain yet (edit: yea it's raining), in Greenpoint, BK.

Just wanted to share a website to track live lightning strikes

 

Live lightning tracking

This is amazing. I see a bunch of lightning strikes in Jersey and watch the sound wave propagation. Right when it reaches my location I hear distant rumbling thunder. So cool.

no chance to look at radar right now. How's the city looking for later in regards to these supercells?

They're ripping right now, but it's hard to say how they'll interact with the marine layer. It looks like the line will be in the nyc area around 6pm.

Looks like weak rotation in the cell near Poughkeepsie.

That was anticlimactic. No lightning. Five minutes of rain.

Somewhat of a bow echo on this incoming line of storms. 85% humidity here in Brooklyn. I imagine we'll get a decent downpour, lightning, and strong wind gusts.

It looked like one of the cells had a short lived couplet just before crossing into NJ. The sheer is still there but not as intense. What are the chances that this makes it all the way to NYC?

Looks like we're getting a natural alarm at around 6am. Here's to hoping nobody is hurt and the commute isn't a disaster.

yep pretty pathetic, Especially for how hyped up people made it (Storm of a Lifetime) gtfo Im sure people from North and South Carolina have been through worse by far storms

Keep in mind that some people prefer not having their lives washed away or their loved ones killed. It's generally considered good if a natural disaster doesn't happen.
