Escaped this one with pure luck. Multiple very large limbs down around my house that seem to have just missed the power lines meanwhile one block over had no power most of the storm.

 

this was definitely a memorable storm 

A tree smashed my neighbor's roof

1.85" of rain is my storm total so far, with 0.99" falling today alone.  It was very gusty this morning with 47 MPH peak reported at LGA but it finally seems to be dying back now to something more manageable.  Just waves of heavy drizzle and lighter rain moving through ever since this morning, even though the radar is struggling to depict that correctly.  Seems to be lifting north of Queens though so hopefully we get into the afternoon break.

Minor flooding again from high tides on hackensack river. 

Up to 1.75" of rain so far.  Coming down good again.  Winds dying down a bit.

i am surprised by the paltry power outages numbers. a storm like with strong winds for a extended period of time along with heavy rain and fully leafed trees i expected at least 100 k on long island with no power..

Post Sandy PSE&G has been more aggressive with cutting back trees from the lines, especially transmission lines.  They also did a lot of FEMA money replacement projects of the transmission lines too.  Perhaps it’s paying off or it’s just pure luck the outages weren’t worse.

Lots of discussion over the last few days about how this storm should be classified.  No shortage of opinions from several respected Mets.  

These two X posts make the most sense to me.  It was shallow warm core and it did separate from fronts for a short time.  No matter what it was not your typical cold season Nor-Easter and was not purely tropical. Hybrid or Sub-Tropical designation seems best way to go IMO.

Came out for about 20 seconds in Queens.  It got noticeably brighter for about 15 minutes but it's back to gloomy for now.

Most of our infrastructure and trees is battled hardened. Going to take more than 55 mph winds to do real damage anymore. They replaced many older light pole with hurricane poles and trimmed trees.
