Look again. It's this morning. 

[Intensewind002]

Winds peaked here at like 5 am, probably gusting in the low 50s then, now its more like 40-45 range. So far I'd say the wind advisory has sufficed here, doesn't seem like wind is as bad as what you'd see from a higher end event.

A lot of high res models have strongest winds tonight into 12z ish tomorrow 

[Prue11]

Winds are strong here but I wouldn’t say it’s anything unusual from a Nor’easter system. The long duration is what’s causing the most damage

[Rjay]

About an inch of rain.  Peak wind gust 55 mph.  Coastal flooding a little less than expected. I'm not sold on any stronger winds later but probably another short period of 50ish mph.

Got about an hour and 10min of the ol footy in in Sayville just now. Caught a good pocket of dryness/mist before it opened up about 9:45. Pretty gusty, and actually chilly, car said it was 56 degrees when I got back into it, but a nice run before eating and drinking tonight lol 

[nycsnow]

Radar starting to look better off shore, clear uptick in winds to when you’re under a band 

[winterwx21]

0.70" here so far. 

[Picard]

Wind and Rain here which goes between light and heavy.  Lots of twigs and small branches down.
There's reports that the YMCA building in Hardyston - Sussex County lost part of it's roof.  Judging by the photo, it looks pretty siginifcant.

Is there a chance it could've spun up a little tornado?

[SI Mailman]

Storm total just hit an inch of rain

[Maureen]

Some thunder here in Carteret.

Thank all of you for your kind words. We are ok.The shed, swing set, fence, and house, can be fixed or replaced. I just look at it and can’t help but laugh. 

So sorry this happened to you.

Back bays and side streets under water here in AC from what I see from my hotel room. The route i usually leave on is closed/under water. Ocean hasn’t budged much still up on the dunes. Had some strong gusts over night that woke me up im currently on the top floor from my hotel(48th floor).

If you’re talking about 30 (White Horse Pike) most of that portion of the road is at sea level. It floods there during astronomically high tides. It used to be a great crabbing spot. Check out the High Point Pub in Absecon. Great wings, calzones and other food. It looks like a bar from the outside but there’s a large dining room in the back. And Ghilchrest for breakfast. Best blueberry pancakes you’ll have in your life.

[Prue11]

So far Coastal flooding does not seem to be as bad as anticipated on central and eastern south shore 

[MJO812]

57 here with moderate showers

[wthrmn654]

So far coastal flooding was about 5.8 feet, moderate stage with this round of tides,  forecast was 5.7-6.2 so within range. 

[PuraVida]

Canals in Long Beach

Freeport


Amityville


.

[steve392]

1/2" of rain so far.  Light winds.  Lots of river flooding from high tide. 

[MJO812]

Icon is nasty for tonight into tomorrow 

[gravitylover]

There are some branches down but 2 breezy days took down a lot of them. Since the edge got here last night it's been windy but mostly staying between 5-15 with some higher gusts. Rain has been showery most of the time, .4 so far.

1010 wins just said there will be a lull before it gets cranking again tonight

Yup I just heard that on the radio too.  Looking at the radar, it does look like a bit of a longer lull after lunch for LI and the city with random light showers and drizzle.

1 hour ago, NJwx85 said:

Did you miss all that rain over the sound?

Queens was mostly dry slotted from 0900 to 1030 with only random areas of drizzle but that blob over LI and the sound pushed east into the city and is over us now.  Mostly lighter rains with this wave.

[WestBabylonWeather]

Large tree down near me. And I had the blessing of chasing a loose dog for miles until a fire dept member took him 

[TriPol]

We have not hit the main event yet. We are still watching the preliminary. When the storm wants to show us what its got, I very much believe we will all be impressed.

yeah. like me. that year i just turned 34. didn't have kids yet and had been married a year. just got tenure, the golden handcuffs. hairstyle for me was already moot, as i was already in the chekov combover mode.....note, koenig was hired for star trek because they wanted a beatles/monkees look to appeal to younger viewers......

I was 47, married 21 years with my oldest daughter approaching 20. I still had, unbeknownst to me at that time, that I’d be in government employ for another 24 years. At that time my hairline had receded so far that I was in the sun reflector stage. To me, Wp, you’re still a youngun. Stay well, as always ….

So for the whole montauk lighthouse questions or concerns for the wind reading accuracy,  Google AI, has explained it very well and I now fully understand why even i thought some of the #s were insane.  

3. The Keeper's Local Readings (Accurate to the Tower)

 

The historic lighthouse keeper frequently records and shares dramatic wind footage and weather events from the tower balcony. Because the lighthouse sits on an elevated bluff 168 feet above sea level and stands 110 feet tall, any sensor at the top experiences compressed airflow (the "speed-up effect" of wind hitting a cliff and moving upward). Facebook- FOX W... +2

 

As a result, wind speeds recorded directly atop the lighthouse tower will naturally read significantly higher than readings taken at ground level or a few miles inland. Facebook +2

All other things being equal, we don't see nearly as many downed trees these days in my opinion because we've had basically a culling of the herd since 2010.

2010:  That extremely rainy March event that had just enough wind to take out a ton of trees

2011:  Hurricane Irene:  Again a good amount of trees down

2012: We know

2020: Isaias, at least around here.

The above time frame literally changed the landscape.  There just aren't a lot of vulnerable big trees left.

 

 

 

Not in here Westchester- main road thru my town is closed north and southbound.
 

The invasive here have had a huge effect - all ash are dead or nearly dead, beech leaf disease is wiping out the beech trees and the increase of invasive vines (porcelain berry is now a huge issue), when leafed out are like sails on weakened trees!
