Radar estimate 0.24”. 

Big time bust for the island. We needed it though, last Friday was a disaster. We are past the time of year praying for rain anyway.

More rain on the Euro for next weekend 

Welcome to El Niño, more to come. Hopefully we can line up a millet A and some colD enough air this winter.

Looks to me Lidia  is significantly stronger than what the NHC is showing. Nice CDO and eye popping despite the easterly shear.

Wet weekend ?

 

 

Philippe is dead. 

The funny thing about late season warm weather is, it has zero effect on the fashionistas on my campus, they are wearing the cute dresses and tights regardless if it’s 80 something. I’m all for it, but I’m still sweating.

Where was this?

American dream mall in New Jersey. I did an august sesh for shits and giggles. It’s exactly what you expect.

Rainy and cool pattern coming up after this week.

I’ll take it, gross out today, I think I must have started acclimatizing back to cool. 

Pretty amazing naked swirl ejected from the convection currently. One of the best examples of shear you will see!

Beautiful in Long Beach, smoke cleared out thankfully. A COC day as they put it in the New England forum. The beach took a rough hit and possibly more to come @wdrag 

I think we lost more beach in the last month than the last several years combined. Major long period hurricane energy followed by endless easterly flow and resulting higher tides. If we get a big one this year it could set us back to sandy levels. 

Definitely some haze in the air in wantagh, still at my dads finishing cleaning up from the storm. 
The current issue is the water table is up so much it’s causing water to continue to trickle into the basement. Another heavy rain event soon would be very bad.

Lido Blvd was horrendous, Laurelton where I grew up surprisingly wasn’t that bad from what I heard but many basements flooded. I grew up near Laurelton/W Fulton. The Dec nor’easter flooding was bad there. 

December 92 repeat is our next repeat in my opinion. The type of storm that lasts for days and rearranges beaches.

Yeah, it’s not easy living on a barrier island these days. I got flooded out of my basement apartment in Long Beach by Agnes in June of 1972. We found a new apartment about a year later and settled on no more basement apartments. The rest of the 70s were relatively quiet for flooding outside the West End. My friend with a basement in his house picked up flooding with the spring 1983 deluge. Then the record 5.15”in under 2 hours shut down our drinking water during June 1995. Flooding situation was pretty quiet for another 10 years until the October 2005 record event which flooded out most LB basements. Followed up a while later by the record 10” in less than 12 hours on 8-14-11. Then the Irene storm surge flooding a few weeks later. Then the off the charts extreme Sandy tidal surge flooding in October 2012. I moved out of LB by chance months before Sandy hit. So not sure about all the local flood specifics after that time.

Me too, moved out of Lb in June 2012, I had 6” of water in the apartment during Irene, so likely several feet during sandy.

with this current event the handicap women who lives below me in lynbrook had 5’ of water. I lost most of my pride and joy veggie garden, which is trivial in comparison. I’m currently at my dads in wantagh dealing with his basement as he’s in Spain. Not a fun 2 days for me, after dealing with flooding for 12 hours at work on the uws yesterday. Unfortunately this is our new normal. 

What an absolute shit End to the day. My landlord blamed my vegetable garden for the basement flood. I have donated 100’s of eggplant from this garden. I can’t stand people who can’t understand our new normal.

Really wonderful night, coming home to the elderly women who lives in the basement apartment bellow me. Her stuff is all the over my patio, I feel so bad… there’s nothing I can do, it all happened while I was at work. So sad….

Just got word from my sis my dads basement is flooded. Going to tackle it in the morning. Just finished a 12 hour day dealing with floods at work.

More photos of the very serious flooding in Brooklyn as some spots exceed 8 inches of rain. 

 

 

 

I don’t care how good your seal is, when water is coming out of your outlet things aren’t going well.

SW Nassau seeing 1.5"/hr rainfall accumulation.  Has to be bad flooding down there now.

I’m worried about going home. If that line continues east I’ll have to head to my dads in wantagh to pump his basement. He’s in Spain currently. So two places to worry about. 

The jfk area is going to end up the jackpot. Not that you really want to be in this type of situation. Luckily for me I live on the first floor of a house in lynbrook, the basement which is almost the same size as my apartment was also available at the time for half what I pay, I looked at it, and thought, yeah no floods. Having lived in Long Beach during my 20s that’s an important lesson. 

Great. Just started ripping on the uws again, who knows if I’ll ever get home.

Starting to get some ridiculous flash flooding on campus on the uws. The next hours going to be intense with this band pivoting over the city

Insane rainfall rates and multiple house shaking claps of thunder in lynbrook, it’s getting real… fast.

Lighting currently in western Nassau, let’s se where this sets up.

Not sure I understand the wind damage part 

Yeah this isn’t a big wind event. Though with 5” of rain even a 40mph gust can knock down a few weak trees. This is really going to be about (the Bronx river ppkwy is under 8’ of water” 

Already pouring in Manhattan, not a good sign.

office worker will be mostly at home given it's a friday so that will help

I’m not looking forward to it, I have to be at work to deal with any potential flooding too. Almost feel like I should just stay, and sleep In my shop. Where ever the heaviest axis sets up, could be a 100 year flood type event with all the resulting damage.
