It sure appears that tornado happened at Llloyd/Eaton Neck...go check PSEG outage map and around 15% of the entire Island's outages are there

Looks like South Shore, Wantagh east is about to get socked. That line coming off the ocean looks bad. Pouring and gusting here like crazy already.  

Just passing though here now. Looks like a tropical storm with the sheets of rain and wind to go along with it.

Looks like LI escaped

We’re getting a condensed version but we’re about to get the worst. The last 30min have been bad. Sucks not being able to see it.

Uhh, no. Not sure where you are but radar estimates 4.5" for me and 2"+ in an hour.

And 3-4"/hr with 7-8" total now around New Hyde Park to Glen Cove.

I think FRG west is done...ASOS now 230 winds at FRG so they are coming around...once you get behind the boundary and winds go NW the TOR threat should end

76 degrees and absolutely thumping right now, closing in on an inch (finally).

Wow. Bad here right now. I don’t know if the winds have shifted but west side of my house is getting pounded right now. Windy too.

That could be from Long Beach to Montauk Point?

Also-another heavy band coming into Nassau. Not as heavy as this last one but will still be rough. Just heard a loud rumble of thunder.

Listening to NYFD Staten dispatch...partial building collapse with people trapped in the basement...calling for divers to be dispatched to reach the basement.

How many issues did the subway have because of Sandy? Why are once in 1,000 year events happening almost every year?

plenty subways were shut before the storm but some some lines were washed away  and tunnels were so damaged it took months to rebuild them and open them up

[MJO812]

A precinct in Staten Island had 300 calls that came in. Majority were calls of their vehicles stuck in flooding.

 

Insane

Sandy submerged most of the subway system with salt water which also fried the electronics. This won't be as bad. But still a devastating flood situation for some. Some of these Gulf systems have a crazy "Part 2" in the Mid Atlantic or Northeast like Camille in VA. This is clearly Ida's "Part 2". 

[psv88]

Absolute deluge in suffolk...incredible

Some of the signals east of the East River outside the LIRR tunnels still haven’t been fixed (it would take months of repairs, non-stop) and the L took serious salt water too. They may never fully recover from that.

0.85” of rain in lindenhurst winds now gusting up to around 35 mph. On a side note, My dad just called and said as he was driving to work he had to turn around. Cars flooded to their roofs on the cross island while he was on the expressway. Had call in to work because it was too dangerous. He said people were wading in chest deep water using their phone lights to see…. On the expressway itself everyone was pulled over with their hazards on due to how heavy the rain was, and some of the smaller cars started to stall. He took a video of the flooding on the cross island, from the ramp to get onto it from the expressway. I’ll try to post it here if i get a chance.

Are you out on duty tonight in this? What have you seen? It’s bad out here on Island but for most part we escaped the bulk of it - though making up ground now
