Radar looks setup for a moderate to major flooding event for the boroughs.

Yep, been pouring here the last 45 minutes with plenty of lightning and thunder. Concerning trends based on the radar and what we're hearing from our friends west of us

Hence my storm anxiety syndrome.  I used to love a good Summer thunderstorm. Not anymore.

Luckily we've only gotten a few raindrops out this way.  It was mostly sunny up until an hour ago, lots of lightning now though

this is why a drought is MUCH less damaging and MUCH less lethal than a flood.

I hear it. It’s coming

New York City received 2.07" (52.6 mm) of rain in the past hour. That is the 4th biggest hourly rainfall on record for July. Moreover, it is the biggest hourly rainfall since an all-time record 3.15" (80.0 mm) of rain fell on September 1, 2021.
