It's unbelievable that this happened just a week and a half after our area was devastated by that incredibly severe t-storm that had 70 to 80mph winds. 

It really is. Like besides Ida and sandy these are the 2 most significant weather events since I've lived here, 10 days apart

0.36 now. Moderate rain. Good soaking without the flooding

Looks like there is about to be a lot more totaled out expensive cars floating around (literally).

About 0.6" so far. Held together a little better than I expected.

Guess all of our insurance premiums will be increasing faster next year.

0.82 and still raining.

Looks like 3.5" will do it, and that's on the low side.  Some nearby stations are over 4 inches, closer to 4.5" actually.

Had some bouts of incredibly torrential rain.  Literally went from needing to add water to the pool, to having it filled to the brim and needing to drain it.

Got about 3" in the first ~90 minutes and about 4" overall, here in Metuchen, despite the radar showing only 2.5-3.0".

The most important thing is people walking away safely, which hopefully everyone did tonight.
After that, then looking at the property losses, including vehicles.  The costs and resources to repair or replace these things is astronomical these days, and with modern day cars, it doesn't take much water incursion to completely ruin it or run a tab into the tens of thousands in repairs.

About 2” of rain here

South shore getting a nice batch of rain currently adding to the .5” from yesterday. I’ll take it.
