I wonder when the  Yankees and the Mets will get their games in at their respective stadiums.

Excellent storm here. .88” of rain. Major lightning, good gusts and a ton of loud thunder.

Lost power at station on si for 75 minutes.... Had 0.50" in short time, lightning and thunder was pretty impressive.

Relatively tame thunderstorm here. 0.40” and some occasional thunder and little wind. 

[nycwinter]

0.71 fell in the park.

Did anyone's gutters get overwhelmed? 

I just fixed a pitching issue about a week ago and this is the first time it has rained since and today the rain overflowed and went right over the edge of the gutter.

It overflowed in an area where the roof, when looking at it from the front, is two triangles side to side with a dip in the middle. Where the dip is the water flows forward like a river toward the street facing gutter. 

Now I'm wondering if the rain was just too much for any gutter to handle or if I still have a problem.   

[jm1220]

About 0.75-0.8” here. Need a lot more but a good start. 

[psv88]

0.55” here, nice drink for the gardens. 
 

still 78 upstairs. Will be a hot night without AC

I was away in Provincetown for a week. It seems every time the models show the pattern changing to much cooler here they then back off of it some a run or two later.

I didn't see any funnels but I definitely saw some rotation. Storm was maturing right over us.

If this started maturing say by new Brunswick instead of NYC metro, it could've been worse. It really wanted to (wind wise)

i think anvil rain helped rather than hurt this time. ewr wet bulbed to a 75 degree dewpoint right before the storm hit

Nice storm. Heavy rain lots of thunder and decent winds but nothing crazy

Getting quite a few cloud to ground strikes now

Yeah I talked to a neighbor when I got home from Seaside Heights tonight and he said there were lots of close lightning strikes. One of the best lightning events of the last few years. Fast moving storm though so it only dropped 0.32" here. At least it was enough to give things a watering. I can finally take a break from watering the vegetable garden tomorrow.
