  1. I think this was always a threat for NYC / NE NJ into the Hudson Valley. Long Island was never really in the game.
  2. Yep. I was in a heavy snowstorm last May in the Catskills.
  3. NYC will definitely have frequent gusts at 35mph or higher for 3 hours. Not sure if they issue a warning though.
  4. I think it has to do with lack of resources and manpower. NYC can pay big money for lots of con ed workers on overtime to get power back asap. Some of these smaller cities and towns don't have that option so it takes longer.
  5. Our footage of a large waterspout turned tornado in Cape May County on Tuesday. It was just rated an EF1 but when we saw it as it’s biggest point I think it was stronger than that however it was over marsh land mostly (thankfully) so hard to gauge. Also footage of damage around Bay Ridge Brooklyn from the wind. https://youtu.be/FkrDyQjjmKE
  6. Shelf cloud from Asbury Park. Here is a quick timelapse to go with it:
  7. Looking back at the past year, one of my favorite chase days of 2019 was May 28th in New Jersey. My chase partner Michael Koch and I were positioning ourselves for a tornado warned cell to our west that already put down a tornado in Pennsylvania when the storm right in front of us decided to drop a tornado as well. We heard the storm start to make a distinct sound and we knew a tornado was on the ground as power flashes began across Lake Hopatcong. We followed the storm as tornado warnings continued all the way to New York City and got to see lighting strike after strike over the skyline. .
  8. But at least people can go to battery park and enjoy themselves. The Hudson has all that park property along the West side highway. From battery park you would have great views from Staten Island, Brooklyn and NJ. People still watch fireworks from Battery Park and Brooklyn. Jersey city began doing their own fireworks show a few years ago when the Macy's firework show was moved from the Hudson River back to the East River. They go off at the same time and are just as long in duration. It's pretty cool watching both from jersey go off at the same time.
  9. My wedding is Sunday in Port Jeff. Hoping it doesn't rain for the ceremony at 4 which is outside. After that I'm not too concerned as the reception is indoors.
  10. I'll take rain on the 4th if it's clear on the 3rd for my wedding
  11. They got a foot of rain. That's crazy. My uncle works in Islip as a tow truck driver. He had to drive east to work on the westbound lanes of the southern state parkway this morning. Eastbound lanes were too flooded.
