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

First tornado i can remember in that area of suffolk, and ive been here my whole life

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.

Two words. South shore

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".

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

These small businesses barely survived Covid. This is another devastating blow for them. Hoping  they were properly insured at least.

Hate to even imagine if the fatalities up here will be higher than those down in LA from Ida.

I think the number of drownings will be shocking.  

[lee59]

About 1.5 inches in the past hour, total now 3 inches.

[Cfa]

Absolutely wild out here with rates nearing 3” per hour.

1.60” so far.
