    The duration also has to be factored in. I simply can't tolerate a three day rainstorm. When we really start controlling the weather I would like our first noreaster to happen in December and our last noreaster to happen in March, nothing before and nothing after, Chris. My back, shoulders and neck has been hurting for the past three nights and only started getting better this morning (my shoulders are still sore though.) I turned my space heater up to 83 degrees this morning which helped alleviate the pain and soreness. I can tolerate this in the winter (especially with snow which is far better than rain and does not cause this kind of pain.) Not in October.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/noreaster-coastal-flooding-long-island-high-tide/ As of 7:50 p.m., PSEG Long Island reported 2,052 customers were still without power. Orange & Rockland County reported just 204 customers were still out, after more than 4,000 were Monday morning. Jersey Central Power & Light had 1,523 customers out. PSE&G New Jersey had 250 out, down from over 2,300. New York City's Office of Emergency Management said more than 100 trees have fallen citywide, and the Department of Buildings said a woman in Brooklyn was killed when the wind ripped a solar panel off the roof of a carport. The storm also forced the cancellation of the city's annual Columbus Day Parade in Manhattan, a more than 80-year-old tradition.

    no prolonged rains, just brief frontal passages, like one in about a week. Nice and sunny for several days starting tomorrow.
  4. LibertyBell
    This is good it means warmer and drier weather with only frontal passages.
  5. LibertyBell
    As long as we don't get any more rain for at least a week and nothing but sun, I'll be happy
  6. LibertyBell
    Yes but at least this storm is finally leaving and we'll have a nice stretch of weather and warmer by the weekend. This storm caused me back pain the last few nights, it only got better this morning.

    The winds definitely weren't as strong as the historic noreasters, which surprised me even more with all the trees down and the power outages and how high the water got. In terms of how high the water got, it reminded me of Irene.
  8. LibertyBell
    Well we didn't hit 2 inches of rain here because it was drizzly all night but the winds stayed up.
  9. LibertyBell
    It doesn't matter if it's below the predictions, the fact is we had water all the way into parking lots and on Central Avenue in Far Rockaway and major coastal flooding all the way to Lindenhurst. I've only seen this in the largest noreasters we had in the 1990s. One woman also died in Manhattan (she got hit in the head with a solar panel that came flying off during the high winds) and thousands of power outages here on Long Island as well as many trees down. 60 MPH winds which are pretty strong for a noreaster.

    you'll get to 3 by tomorrow

    I wish this thing would go out to sea already
  12. LibertyBell
    you don't live in this area, it definitely wasn't run of the mill.
  13. LibertyBell
    How much more do you think will fall, Don? 0.25 inch?
  14. LibertyBell
    60 mph winds at Stony Brook too Walt
  15. LibertyBell
    Probably, the sea level change isn't significant yet. I just remember back in the 1990s when we had these huge noreasters, it usually required much stronger winds and either a new or full moon.

    Major coastal flooding in southern Queens and along the south shore of Long Island
  17. LibertyBell
    wow massive flooding near Jamaica Bay both in southern Queens and SW Nassau. I have to wonder how much of this is because of climate change induced sea level rise? This storm, while strong, didn't seem to be strong enough to cause such a surge! Major flooding in Lindenhurst too.
  18. LibertyBell
    lots of power outages and trees down on Long Island Nassau County State of Emergency
  19. LibertyBell
    wow the EU is even worse than the US, what's going on there?
  20. LibertyBell
    We have to bring in the Global South too. I see that some people want to give African nations a pass, but those are nations that are experiencing rapid population growth, we can't skip them either.

    ugh that reminds me of being up in NE PA when there's a race going on at Pocono Raceway. Traffic jam for miles as if I'm back in NY lol. Actually worse out there.....
  22. LibertyBell
    Yep it shocks me when people try to downplay 1-2 inches of rain and sometimes even 2-3 inches of rain.

    Lows;EWR: 34 (2012)NYC: 34 (1875)LGA: 39 (1988)JFK: 37 (2012) wow October 2012 was really cold even before Sandy. 1846 - A great hurricane tracked across Cuba, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The hurricane inflicted major damage along its entire path, which was similar to the path of Hurricane Hazel 108 years later. The hurricane caused great damage at Key West FL, and at Philadelphia PA it was the most destructive storm in thirty years. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1876: New York City recorded its earliest 32° reading with a half inch of snow. Snow fell from Virginia to New England with 3.5 inches reported at Fall River, MA. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1846's great hurricane was a Cat 5.... I wonder how strong it was in PA? Is there a track map for this storm, Tony? 1876 must have been an epic event, that record has held for 150 years lol.
  24. LibertyBell
    Which storm is that, February 1978?
  25. LibertyBell
    Yes and this includes China and India. The most highly populated countries cause the most damage so we have to start with them.
