scrolling through TikTok multiple people live from Plainfield, NJ.  Massive flooding.

They've had a rough 7 days with straight line wind damage  and a few deaths last week

I hear it. It’s coming 

Looks half decent for Nassau, we’ll see what’s left when it gets here. I’ll take a decent moderate rain to replenish the lawns.

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

The key to reducing the anxiety is preparedness and awareness. I was very young when my basement apartment got flooded out during Agnes in 1972. So I started paying very close attention to the weather from that point forward.

Yep all us coastal folks finally get some rain-and perfect too-not a half inch in 20 minutes that just runs off

Just .70" here in Clifton.  Currently light rain  71/71.

6-7” totals here based on Radarscope. Absolute insane evening. My neighbors car got caught in flooding from the creek here.  He said the water over shot the road in literally seconds.

Another heavy looking round of thunderstorms going through middle Jersey that could affect Brooklyn/Long Island if they stay intact.

Hopefully lots of exciting damage, but no injuries?

I am watching that for both severe and flooding potential.

Light to moderate rain, looks to stay that way for another hour or so. Anything heavier is collapsing as expected.

Weakening. We won’t be getting what NJ got. Thankfully

August always seems like our time out here for the more extreme rain events. I guess due to the waters being warmest at that point.

Still raining here but it's light. 5.45" so far. Horrible scene with my street flooded and water up to the houses. A car stuck in the middle of the street front of my house. Several emergency vehicles at the end of the street.

Yeah my friends are stranded in scotch plains and green brook. Can't get home.  Sounds like a common theme around the area

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. 

[jm1220]

Moderate rain. Nice refresher for the lawns/gardens. Looks like a few lucky spots to my north like Cold Spring Harbor and Northport have up to 1.5".

Closing in on 6”. Ouch.

Impressive, up this way 2.18”. Seen a bunch of water rescue calls around the Nanuet/Spring valley area. I’m sure 59 is a mess in West Nyack by the mall.
