Up to 0.94" here so the extreme eastern portions of the county are doing a bit better so far.

Did you ever notice NWS radars never fail on a dry and sunny day? 

Bad timing for KDIX radar to go down.

Picked up 0.68" of rain so far today. Storm total so far 0.71"

If I had to take the over/under on rainfall amounts right now I would say east of the Hudson (over), west of the Hudson (under). The uncertainty area is NE NJ (Middlesex, Union, Essex, Hudson and Bergen) that could go either way IMO. We'll see.

Somebody had to say it.

As you know we flood here in Carteret with a lot less. We had damage and issues from Sandy of course, but Irene was far worse for us with regard to the flooding. And the ground around here is quite saturated already!

Ida was by far the worst I have ever seen this town flood and I have been here for a long time and have seen many flood events over the years here.

I have to give @wdragkudos for seeing this storm potential early on. 

Not in all cases but usually in these potential high end flood events NE NJ and the NYC metro are where the heaviest rainfall amounts and the most serious flooding occur. We'll see if that is the case this time around.
