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

R train tunnel between Manhattan and Brooklyn was closed for a loonggg time.  Lots of damage to the tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn/Queens.

Unfortunate but not surprising. You just can’t reason with some people.

Nearing 8" at my station...7-8+" seems pretty common among stations here on si.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see some spin ups east of New Haven with that radar over the Sound. I don’t know if you allow cursing but holy shit, just dark ass red everywhere.

I hear i95 in Bridgeport has cars under water.

Heavy rain again here but looks like the worst is over outside of central/eastern Suffolk. Radar estimating I'm at 5" or so now. Maybe I can make it to 6".

[Gravity Wave]

Large number of people stuck at the US Open it seems. Not in danger there but they might not get out tonight.

[guinness77]

Lol phone blowing up again. FF warning until 2:30 now. I want to go to sleep so bad, but this is insane. 

[Cfa]

4” per hour rates. 2.24” event total so far.

That still gets them to about 7" total. Thankfully rain is about over there. 

[guinness77]

Tornado incoming to Falmouth, eastern Cape. Wow. This is unbelievable.

Remember, seven years ago, Islip had 11" of rain in a few hours.

[jm1220]

Big totals in the NW corner of Suffolk too. I'm at about 5.5" per Radarscope but 7"+ just west and north of me.
