I hate both sea breeze and humidity lol. Last 100 here was 2013, same with you?
For me the last 100 was in 2011, we hit 102 with a dewpoint of almost 80. Probably the hottest day I’ve ever experienced…
I think we were forecasted to hit 100 in 2013 but “only” peaked at 97 during the hottest day of that summer

How often do we have simultaneous major hurricanes in the ATL and EPAC, couldn't find any examples with a google search

These great tweets from the NWS Mt Holly highlight how extreme our weather has become.
Wow I thought I was joking last week when I said NJ has become the new tornado alley

Had 14 90+ days this year, as well as 5 89 days. Hottest was a tie of 92 between 6 days.
Compared to the last 5 years:
2020: 20 Peak: 97
2019: 5 Peak: 96
2018: 10 Peak: 952017: 7 Peak: 93
2016: 14 Peak: 97
So 2021 comes in tied at second but has the lowest peak. The sea breeze and humidity hurt this summer

Looks like some erosion of the SW eyewall, maybe some dry air got in?

I'd like to believe that, but I don't recollect any actions by the NYC government taken in advance. No road closures, no suggested evacuations, not a hint of concern about the impending downpour. Just post storm blather about global warming.
They should have treated an extreme flood event like this similarly to how they treat a blizzard (besides the Dec 2010 one). Close all roads except for emergency personnel
-
IDK how good of an idea it would be but maybe they should have like mandatory weather safety classes in high school, where you would also learn all the specifics of watches warnings and where to find these products, as well as some basics in atmospheric science… because a lot of these local politicians could use something like that…

This is a vid my dad took yesterday as he was driving, or attempted to drive really, to work. I think it’s the LIE but not exactly sure- 1

None lol. I'm saying we need to develop one like this, it would be similar to the Modified Mercalli scale for earthquakes (vs the Richter scale.) The relative classes would signify how extreme (and rare) something is vs the worst that could happen and has to also take into account the physical size of the area impacted.
Yeah that’s actually a good idea, we can still keep the old scales and warnings. But adding a more coherent scale on ALL types of impacts would be a lot better than just wind.

Ida for our area one could argue was a Class IV Flood Event. Sandy would be a Class III Wind Event and a Class V Surge Event.
We need to switch to impact based scales.....
What scale are you using?
-
Seeing some of the aftermath now, i think the effects from PTC Ida is arguably worse than either Irene or Floyd for the nyc metro area…. Sandy probably not but I can’t believe how high the death toll is getting

Finished with 1.89” of rain in lindenhurst, happy my home didn’t wind up flooded out or wrecked by a tornado like many in nyc nj and pa, but i hope the recovery process isnt too bad for those that did get impacted

It seems to always be night time snow storms here on LI
Thats why January 2016 was so good, 90% of it fell during the day

Michael also made landfall in the Gulf, did it make landfall too far east down there to have an impact up here?
Yeah michael kinda came in at an angle where it was traveling northeastward and went back out into the atlantic fairly quickly, off the coast of north carolina. It did causes some flooding and power issues in the carolinas and virginia too though, i remember it dropped up to 10” in nc, and there was significant flooding since they were already waterlogged from florence a month earlier, pretty similar to what’s happening in nj ny and pa now that i think about it

what happened up here with Camille? The only thing I know about it is that it was a Cat 5 that hit the Gulf, no news of anything it did once it came inland
Camille wound up dropping extreme rainfall in Virginia days after it made landfall, unfortunately over a 100 died from the flash flooding and mudslides… they both formed in the same region as well, just south of cuba, but camille never made landfall in cuba so it was able to get it’s act together more quickly compared to ida.

Tragically it sounds like there are fatalities already. Might be the case that there are more up here than down in LA.
I believe similar happened with Hurricane Camille. That storm is probably a good analog for Ida

20 degree difference between my thermometer at home and here in albany. Only 54 degrees here

Up to 1.45” of rain in sw suffolk now. Winds have died down and shifted around to the sw

0.85” of rain in lindenhurst winds now gusting up to around 35 mph. On a side note, My dad just called and said as he was driving to work he had to turn around. Cars flooded to their roofs on the cross island while he was on the expressway. Had call in to work because it was too dangerous. He said people were wading in chest deep water using their phone lights to see…. On the expressway itself everyone was pulled over with their hazards on due to how heavy the rain was, and some of the smaller cars started to stall. He took a video of the flooding on the cross island, from the ramp to get onto it from the expressway. I’ll try to post it here if i get a chance.

I’ve been lurking here since 2017 and I remember him doing this even then, 3 years before I even made an account…
He’s obviously a weather enthusiast because you wouldn’t be on this site otherwise, but it became pretty obvious he is a troll after a while and to be honest, I really don’t get why someone would troll a bunch of like minded people. Especially in smaller community like this one
