Water is up to the houses on my street now. What incredibly bad luck to get hit by this kind of flooding just a week and a half after we got hit by one of the most severe t-storms ever. A couple houses on my street got crushed by big trees from that storm. Now major flooding. Horrible. 

Awful. And frightening. Nowhere for this water to go.

Insane flooding starting to happen by me in little ferry. Only positive is it's low tide, so storm drains will empty streets quickly after it stops.

White Plains picked up 1.32" in the past hour. That's the second highest hourly mark on record for July and fourth highest for summer.

Looks like the heaviest rains are slowly pushing east but not before the damage has been done. Still a few more hours to go with light/moderate rains continuing. Took a little walk and the creek at the end of my hill here is fully onto the road.

Yeah I was just gonna mention that we're finally seeing hope on radar. Looks like maybe the backbuilding is ending. Still pouring here but it's breaking up just to the west in Somerset County. I'm a little over 5 inches of rain here now. 

A moron tried to drive through the flooding, and he had to abandon his car right in front of my house. I hear the loud yelling and cursing right now.

Streets I've never seen flooded over by my house are flooded over. Lots of lightning. 

[WeatherGeek2025]

heavy rain in midtown. lightning every second

[JonClaw]

Torrential rain in Elmhurst

[mgerb]

Just a touch under 3.00" in Somerset near New Brunswick. 

[ag3]

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

[ag3]

Ton of lightning with this.

[psv88]

Rain overspreading Long Island. Just got a new roof and siding is ripped off, so hoping we don’t get too much rain. 

[JonClaw]

Some quick math using the LIC micronet site; 2.6" per hour rate from 7pm to 7:25pm

2.04” an hour on my weather station.

We probably get 0.25-0.5” as the marine layer dices and dries it up.

Good. My area got 6-8” of rain last summer in that crazy storm and many areas were flooded out. Don’t need that again.
