This event reminds me of Aug 3 2015 with the timing and intensity. That was also a widespread intense lightning/wind event for NYC and especially eastern LI (they had some major damage around the farms).
-
Looks like storm weakened, in south central queens, moderate rain with occasional bolts, no wind.
-
Dark here again in Queens
-
I’m supposed to play golf at around noon tomorrow, any chance that happens or is it going to be an all day washout?
-
Forest Hills, absolute deluge, some brief pretty strong winds too, almost like a mini downburst.

Pretty intense lightning here, but we’re only on the northern fringe here in Queens. SI and Brooklyn look like they’re getting slammed.

Crazy how here in Forest Hills we haven’t had a drop of rain while I can clearly see the storm only about a mile north of us. Saw some lowering clouds and what appeared to be some rotation as well. -
SVR potential late Wed-Thu August 26-27 NYC metro

Strong storm here in central Queens. Downpours, decent wind (30-40mph), frequent lightning. Did not compare at all to the epic microburst we had on Tuesday where there was very little lightning but an absolute deluge with what I'd estimate 65+ mph gusts. -

Looks like you’re about to get slammed. Update us and take some pics/vids if you’re able. -
Few clusters max rfall 2-3" and possible SVR Mon-Tue 8/24-25/20

I hope someone has some videos of this storm. Although very brief, was the strongest wind I have ever witnessed in person here in Queens (wasn’t here for 2010 Tornado, but witnessed aftermath), almost certain it was a microburst. -

I’m thinking it was a microburst. We had same cell come through in Queens. -

Wow just got absolutely nailed here in Forest Hills. Came in absolutely ferocious, wind whipping like crazy, stuff started hitting our balcony window, ears started popping wonder if there was any rotation. wind looked stronger than tropical storm, I’d say easily 70 mph. -
"Marginal" SVR/FF risk 3P Today-3P FRI July 30-31
Rock888 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Near constant lightning here in Queens, this is looking nasty coming in. Forget sleeping. -
Cell that popped up on eastern LI looked pretty strong on radar. Looks like some weakening stuff approaching the city.

Potential few SVR/FF events parts of NYC forum Wed-Thu 7/22-23/20

Got slammed here in central Queens. Tons of lightning, torrential sheets of rain and wind easily had to be 40-50 mph.
