    Yep 2hr delay. Pics look pretty bad especially the east end of town with stranded cars. Looks like the rain got heavier going into Lido and Pt Lookout.

    Long Beach with severe flooding from reports. Up here moderate rain so far.
  3. jm1220
    Mostly light rain up here but we’ll take it.

    Yep time for us to torch in Nov so we can save cold for Dec and the winter. If we have another frigid Nov-no bueno. In all seriousness hopefully we can have the favorable EPO come back which sends the cold into the East, and have something to diminish the Nina pattern we’ve been stuck in like cooperation from the NAO that we saw in 2010-11. If we have another Nina dominated winter with little blocking, we all know how that goes. Don’s stats he posts aren’t reassuring.

    The warm front went further north than expected, so the line of storms instead went through upstate NY and CT rather than through the metro area. Could’ve easily been as predicted and the storms go 75 miles SW.

    Long Beach got drenched pretty good. Otherwise my immediate area largely was a gap between the Nassau storms and what went through E Suffolk earlier. Short lived downpour and lightning here.
  7. jm1220
    Decent downpour here but looks to be short lived. Little wind.

    Could be a very active day tomorrow. Not often that we have a hatched wind and hail area right down to the coast here. Also 5% tornado threat so that has to be looked at too.

    Laura might not be much of anything by the time it gets past Cuba. Models keep bringing it south and over the major islands.

    I’d attribute any snow drought in this immediate area to the fact I finally moved north vs anything JB says.

    We seem to be entering a period where the SE Ridge is becoming too strong, causing the storms to ride inland, and a general Nina-ish overall pattern where the upper Midwest, NNE and West have the best winters. We’ve had this two years in a row now so hopefully year 3 can be a change from this. We could certainly use the NAO cooperating during the winter for a change which forces a further south track.

    Heat’s not surging over top of this area anymore-aimed right at us unlike early summer.
  13. jm1220
    Wunderground stations here seem to have 0.8-0.9". It really poured for a good 15 minutes.
  14. jm1220
    Drenched here in S Huntington.
  15. jm1220
    About to get drenched here-storm looks to be right on the Nassau/Suffolk line.

    As long as I’m finally on the west side of it and don’t have to deal with more massive tree loss and power outages, I’m good. Give me the 3-5” rain anyday over some showers with the high wind.
  17. jm1220
    No heavy rain here but a good soaker that will help the plants for a good while. Probably 0.3” or so.
  18. jm1220
    Winds here were definitely stronger from Sandy. This reminds me more of the 3/2010 nor’easter and Irene wind wise. The fast NNE motion at our latitude helped strengthen the winds I’m sure as well as the warm waters for this time of year.

    This area must have gusted over 70 and perhaps for a decent period of time to cause the tree damage here. It’s not an exaggeration at all. And not just small trees came down-plenty of big ones too that are still blocking side streets and even bigger roads. There’s a tree on top of someone’s house on my street I’ll try posting a pic of later.

    MTP is almost 90 miles east of FRG and never really got into the action, that plus pressure gradient and proximity to the center. Still so strange to me how windy it was where I am but with less than 0.25” rain. I’m about 5 miles north of FRG and my neighborhood was completely trashed. I could only imagine what would’ve been if it struck NC at 110-115mph instead of 85.

    Sandy (living in Long Beach which was devastated) Isaias (wind) Irene (wind was maybe a little less, but surge much higher) Below this-Floyd, Bertha, etc.
  22. jm1220
    There must have been widespread gusts into the 70s given the amount of tree damage. Big trees like these wouldn’t come down with gusts barely over 60. And the ground wasn’t especially saturated-we had little rain East of the track.
  23. jm1220
    A house on my street was very lucky when a tree like that fell on the house but not the trunk. And I just checked out my immediate neighborhood.
  24. jm1220
    Same here. Trees down everywhere. One fell on a house down my street. Large branches/limbs down all over the place too.
  25. jm1220
    Around here it seems like fallen trees took wires down. After a severe storm last summer came through, PSEG trimmed branches around the wires in my neighborhood which likely helped today. That and luck. Much of the rest of my town looks like it’s out.
