    Thankfully the wind didn’t materialize outside a small area in RI. If there was 70 mph wind in NYC with the 8” of rain the tree/power line damage would’ve been horrific. As bad as Isaias was wind wise it happened with less than 1” of rain east of NYC. In a way it’s a blessing for hurricanes up here.

    Tropical downpour here in Long Beach. Feels like a rainforest outside.
  3. jm1220
    A little over 4” in Long Beach I think and 3” in Huntington.

    A 946mb low in Atlantic City is about the most extreme event we will ever witness. Maybe out great great grandkids will see it again someday. Can’t emphasize sandy’s impact enough.

    It was the bend NW which models were showing but it’s see to believe. That plus the bent SW rain axis and it’s congrats NJ as usual.
  6. jm1220
    And that NJ somehow will get the heaviest rain amounts. Always works out some way.

    Awesome job by the GFS especially. Literally the swath it had the heavy rain for had the least of the tri state area. Hamptons might not even have 1”.
  8. jm1220
    I think Central Park’s already over 7”.
  9. jm1220
    Yep, it’s actually getting fairly gusty in Long Beach now that the rain stopped. Go figure.

    Might be close to 7” now. Heavy band is sitting over the city again. Crazy thing is Yonkers which is just north of the Bronx Westchester border probably has 2” tops. IMBY there’s been about 4”.

    The stadium effect in the eye over Watch Hill RI must've been awesome.

    Yeah.... with the Hurricane Bob/Carol/1938 comparisons

    Safe to say this was another JB bust?

    Flooded NYC subways aside we really lucked out with this one. It had a shot to intensify yesterday too and never really did so.
  15. jm1220
    Looks almost to a T like 2/25/10's radar as it pivoted over CT. Central Park might end up at 8" by the end.
  16. jm1220
    And I'm not surprised this came in as a TS. Models were showing that for days. It had a brief window yesterday to blow up when the eye started clearing out but never happened. Models generally showed a mid-cat 1 when it crossed the Gulf Stream, and then weakening as it kept going north.

    I'd say generously in Long Beach we had 25-30mph gusts. Now it's practically calm.
  18. jm1220
    6-7" of rain which radar estimates in Brooklyn/Manhattan is a boring event? But yeah wind/wave/water-wise it was very meh here.
  19. jm1220
    It'll linger around for a while but it seems like the back edge is inching its way north. We'll see I guess. It's definitely not over north of me through NYC and Hudson Valley. Sort of the same precip shield/orientation as 2/25/10 with the pivoting NW low.
  20. jm1220
    Lower Manhattan to Canarsie has 6-7" by radar estimates. Sky is brightening up south of me. Rain should be mostly be done here soon (not for northern NYC and North Shore-looks socked in for a while there).
  21. jm1220
    Probably over 4” in Long Beach by radar estimates. Rain is letting up but still moderate. Banding looks to be edging north.
  22. jm1220
    Parts of town starting to flood now from the rain.
  23. jm1220
    This band has been sitting over me for a couple hours now. Pouring. It’s like a deformation band from a nor’easter.
  24. jm1220
    There might be part of Narragansett or Buzzards Bay that had a nasty surge impact but I agree. Highest wind so far seems to be 66mph at Block Island and Isaias at FRG had 78mph. I’m sure plenty of customers there will lose power and the wet ground doesn’t help for tree damage but we/they lucked out that the eye didn’t clear out and it didn’t ramp up to 110mph when it had a chance.
  25. jm1220
    Yep it’s pouring here in Long Beach. Not as hard as last night but enough to I’m sure flood some basements. I checked out the waves-maybe 5-6 footers but 2 days before Sandy they seemed twice as high.
