A normally quiet section of the Bronx River in Scarsdale, NY:

I tried to get by the Bronx River near Gun Hill, but its pouring so relentlessly I gave up. I remember after Irene it was maybe the highest levels I ever saw, at the current rate this will probably reach or exceed that but I dunno if upstream is getting as much rain as the city to add to the runoff down here. Some of the parks along the parkway got covered in several feet of water back then.

All tropical storm warnings are dropped as Henri continues to weaken.

The winds did not even come close to what was anticipated, in most of the area.

the entire bronx river area is being drenched by heavy rain from white plains on down.  That thing floods if you spit into it.

I have had a couple leaves blow off the trees this afternoon. Not as many as last week, but still.

Wonder if that will pivot west towards me? That would be the worst we've seen here. Just been a very rainy day since 10am here.

 With Central Park now well over 6" and likely already approaching if not already exceeding 7" with significant rain still falling, there's a high chance based on your chart that Henri later gets to 2nd place with only Sept. of 1882 wetter.

Oof, the Ho Ho Kus Brook, Saddle River and Passaic River are gonna be way above flood stage if that's the case.

[lee59]

The strongest wind gust from Henri appears to be 70mph at Point Judith R.I.

Rain keeps backbuilding here. No letup through at least 7 PM according to the futurecast.

Deluge here. Tree feel on power and cable lines knocked out cable and internet lights flickering on and off. Just missed my cars

 Did Central Park have two hours on 8/21/21 rather than just one that belong at the top of this list? Per the NYC NWS Twitter, NYC got 1.94" 10-11 PM and 1.84" 11PM-midnight:

Wow. Rivers must already be swelled from the recent heavy rains also.

[Heisy]

Almost looks like an upside down deformation zone in NNJ. The heavy stuff just stalling there. Agree with Forky, Someone in that region is in for some horrible flooding.
