    Beaches here are rough too. Glad to see the sun finally, no smoke here thankfully.

    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.

    The Aug 2011 flood before Irene will always be memorable in Long Beach. Irene of course was bad too. This one ranks right up there. Finally some sun trying to come out. But this rain wasn’t “unprecedented” and we’ll see this again within a few years, so whatever the city has to do in order to prepare, should make that happen.

    Yeah still.

    You should send your total to Upton if you didn’t already.

    Yep, where to even start with yesterday/today’s event.

    Right up there with Aug 2011’s event pre-Irene that had 10” in Lido Beach. And probably add a half inch to that from the rain this morning.

    Massively overdeveloped in a catastrophe waiting to happen when there's the Cat 5 they're due for.

    And if Northport got 4.27", must have been 5" or more here.

    Highest in the area looks to be Valley Stream. @uofmiami you should send your Syosset total in. I would think Hewlett would be higher than East Rockaway. If the radar estimate matters, Atlantic Beach/Lawrence/Inwood probably had over 10" then.
  11. jm1220
    Sure you have!

    Still light rain here. Just doesn't want to end. And we probably have another brief round areawide in the morning.

    And OT, but it's becoming more inhabited every year with bigger apartment/condo buildings going up, literally on a big sand dune. It's becoming the Pompano Beach of NY. It's nuts.

    3 basements on my former street in Long Beach badly flooded. Sump pumps going gangbusters. Some flooded out cars too. It was a nightmare there this afternoon. Kids were waiting to be picked up from school in knee high water. When the drainage system goes bust there which I saw a few times especially in Aug 2011, the city floods pretty fast. Unfortunately some of the same places flooded in the December torch to freeze nor'easter.

    Final totals not done yet and Suffolk still heavy rain, but this was definitely Ida for southern Nassau-some places in the 5 towns/Atlantic Beach must've gotten over 8". Widespread 5"+ elsewhere in S Nassau. I probably have 4-5", that was some of the most intense rain I've seen in quite some time. Long Beach was a "chaotic disaster" this afternoon according to my mom who had to drive in it.

    Models show another round of rain in the morning that hopefully won't be more than 0.25" or so but we're not done yet.

    Was still moderate a few minutes ago here despite the radar having it very light. Radar estimates 4” here but I’m probably a good bit over. Street that’s downhill from me is flooded pretty good.
  18. jm1220
    Raining moderate again.
  19. jm1220
    Finally tapering down. Radar estimates 3.8” (I’m sure I’m over 4”)
  20. jm1220
    Watching News 12, Atlantic Beach looks like a disaster. Probably 18”+ water on the main road. Wind really picking up again and still pouring, thankfully looks like the worst is about done here.
  21. jm1220
    Wind definitely increased here too when the firehose started.
  22. jm1220
    Up to 3.4” radar estimate (which if anything has been low island wide)
  23. jm1220
    Just about 3” here. This rain is crazy.
  24. jm1220
    We’re not getting 5” more rain after the heavy line passes. Maybe 0.5”.
  25. jm1220
    The HREF mean was a little low if anything, I think it was 5-6” in the heaviest area. The max was closer to correct where it had 10” amounts. I’m sure many in S Nassau will have 7-9” and JFK is over 8”. Rockaways look like the worst where radar estimates 10”. And this isn’t over-there won’t be heavy rain after the firehose passes but enough to maybe add 0.25” or so.
