SnoSki14 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The Raritan river at Bound Brook at Manville should reach #2 all time, right behind Floyd, it's already the 2nd highest at Manville. It's currently the 3rd highest at Bound Brook, just below the April 2007 nor'easter crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermedic Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 December 1992 will always be the benchmark..... it was far worse than any other storm for us. Agreed. In my lifetime, that is the benchmark for me in my area. This wasn't even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridingtime Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm by where tornado went by in Queens on Francis Lewis blvd and 73rd ave. Dozens of trees down. Scattered everywhere like they're twigs. Reminds me of the bayside/flushing scene of last September. Snapping pics. Have driven a lot of Queens. This is the hardest hit area I've seen so far. Then the damage was really localized. Looking forward to seeing those pics though and I might take a drive around that area to see what you are talking about.

weathermedic Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Pressure got down to 964 millibars when Irene passed over or just near me. Anyone have the lowest pressure at the time of Coney Island landfall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpickett Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Loved watching the deaf interpreter at the FEMA press conference. His expressions perfectly captured caricatures of, fear, sympathy, relief and concern. The practiced phoniness only highlights the ridiculousness of the public official doing the briefing.

MikeS Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Most of the rivers in Northern\Central NJ are forecasted to be right around or surpass their record flood stages..it's going to be ugly around here for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridingtime Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Damage was scattered about throughout Queens. Every town has it. Sorry to say, but it is just not true. I'm at Main st. and 73rd Ave and there is barely any damage. It's quite boring here to be honest, and I'm annoyed everything is closed when I could have been taking care of some errands.

Isotherm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This storm was clearly much more serious for folks living within 5 miles of the ocean or near a river, stream, creek etc where flooding was likely. My parents in Colts Neck say they never lost power, only a few small branches down in the backyard. 6.45" of rain total there. Meanwhile a friend in Middletown has been out of power since last night and 4 large trees fell on his street. Out here in Villanova PA, we had some wind gusts to 40mph, but it pretty much felt like a strong nor'easter. No damage to speak of except one tree fell on a power line South campus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold&cloudy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Update from NW New Jersey: At least 5 inches of rain has fallen, highest wind gust was 43 MPH, and power was out for 2 hours this morning. Lots of flooding and road closures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBG Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My town is pretty bad. Much worse than 2010. Not here. While we didn't lose power more than momentarily in 2010 we lost cable for about a week. Rye Brook basically looked like a war zone. Street after street was blocked. Power and telephone lines were down; sparks were flying everywhere.Here, a bunch of small branches, and lots of leaves, are down. That's it.

Stormlover74 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Very windy again...no power since 1230 am...trees down on every street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelocita Weather Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Very windy again...no power since 1230 am...trees down on every street Significant damage in Millburn. I would say 70% or so of downtown businesses have moderate damage or more with 20-30% almost complete losses due to severe flooding. Some apartment buildings flooded out, with scattered debris everywhere and some uplifting of pavement due to flooding. Entire town was wondering around downtown...worst flooding/damage in at least 50 years....a shame. Going to take some time for all businesses to recover from this one.

Yeah, March 2010 was worse for wind impact; power was out in by block from March 13 to March 16th (Sat-Tuesday) But, this has more rain and much more flooding...
