Zelocita Weather Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 http://www.youtube.c...u/5/dC9_Uek_nDg My town (Millburn,NJ) is basically under water . From downtown south all along Main St. (which is now a 1-4 foot raging river) and bordering Union County is all inundated with water. Many homes/apt buildings/stores have water in them. 1 foot of water on the basement level in my building. Worst flooding in 60+ years here.

Rjay Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 yep.. looks like the last batch of heavy stuff is on us now. I am recording 2 inch per hour rates right at this moment I went down to Freeport again with a friend and saw the biggest storm surge I have ever seen. WE parked and walked down a few block...WE saw people on boogie board and you could see multiple people walking towards us in chest deep water. We asked them how deep in was down a few more blocks....They said they saw multiple mini van completely under water. I have seen coastal flood many times, but never on this scale. I wonder was it was like all the way down in Freeport by the shore. Just amazing stuff from an overall disappointing storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Is anyone reporting sustained winds of 65mph in Coney Island? There were no hurricane force winds in Egg Harbor either I think we have to give up on the notion that these rated speeds correspond to "ground truth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBG Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I mean Brooklyn is considered part of New York City but this still holds true for Manhattan. But it's still not a hurricane cross into NYC. It crossed as a tropical storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoreWXgal Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There were no hurricane force winds in Egg Harbor either I think we have to give up on the notion that these rated speeds correspond to "ground truth" It made landfall in or very near to my town...I assure you we do not have hurricane force winds...the highest recorded was 69mph last night at 8:40pm in an intense band.

SnowDemon Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Holy crap. Probably the hardest downpour in this whole storm is drenching Rockland right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euripides Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My winds have lightened a decent bit since maybe a half hour ago. Sundog....for me. March 2010 was better for winds. While there were some nice gusts I did not get that constant howling wind thatr March 2010 gave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridingtime Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Anyone else in Kew Garden Hills feeling like me? Not really a big deal right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Irene was likely a TS as soon as it exited N.C. yesterday but the NHC kept it a hurricane for public purposes, Irene in general was never really a powerful hurricane, it was barely a major hurricane at one point, it was a large storm though with very low pressures but not what it was forecast to be a few days ago. Hopefully this storm will turn heads in the future and make people realize that they can see hurricanes up here and they are vulnerable, it was also a great test for state officials and a great test to see how the area can evacuate and prepare themselves in the future when a truly devastating storm could really strike.

Sock Puppet Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I feel like that in Brooklyn. Granted there was a lot of coastal flooding but inland not any worse than March 2010 Anyone else in Kew Garden Hills feeling like me? Not really a big deal right?

No I never said that, but the surge was probably a little less since landfall was east of city proper. Winds were more ne until last minute. Getting some gusts to 70 now in ern mass, but I'm missing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There were some strong gusts last night but the winds from the remnants of Ernesto in 2006 and March 2010 were by far a lot stronger and lasted much longer, I even recall winds in our December 2010 blizzard to be stronger and longer lasting than this.
