Absolute sh*tshow had to leave rockland to head for a wake in yonkers, blinding rains and the traffic was a nightmare. Your typical parkways/streams got high. Just got back home here in Nanuet.

Nobody told the NAM:

This is the 18z run! This is so bad

[wthrmn654]

Man, if this is the style storms were going have this winter with s lot of wind before the storm and day of storm leading to higher tides, the beaches are not going make it.

So far, the guidance signaling a significant rain event from the extended range seems to have fared very well. A general 1"-3" has been recorded over a large part of the region, with some locally higher amounts.

A 39-year-old man died on Thursday after he became trapped in a flooded basement in Brooklyn, as sudden heavy, record-setting rains brought flash flooding to the New York area, the police said.

A neighbor said the man who died had become trapped when he went back to his basement in the Flatbush neighborhood to rescue one of his dogs. A diver pulled him out, a Fire Department spokesman said. He was taken by ambulance to Kings County Hospital, where he died. Officials did not confirm whether his death was caused by flooding.

Moderate to heavy rain here at the moment.  Not expecting it to last long but coming down pretty good right now.
