Cfa Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Just had 2 big white-blue flash of lightning followed by a long & deep rumble of thunder. Interesting how this happens after the real storm (which featured no lightning/thunder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yeah I think this was underwhelming. Oh well. it most certainly was...probably does not even crack the top 3 storms I have had this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldalex Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Absolutely pouring here, lightning and thunder as well. However, the wind seems to have died down. Already up to 1.2" since the rain started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 one of the more impressive firehose events I have seen That, by far was last August a week before Irene. 10+ inches of rain around here mostly in a few hours. The damage from that was about as bad as what Irene brought a week later. This rain is impressive but that event put this to shame. That was probably the heaviest rain rate I've ever seen.

ict1523 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The rain was absolutely torrential. Happened to be caught in a huge downpour on the BQE and then it started up again as soon as I got on the Belt and lasted all the way through Brooklyn and Queens. Lots of flooding on the BQE and the Belt Pkwy was almost completely flooded, and at times 2 of 3 lanes were completely impassable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tornado warning in Long Beach is exactly why I posted this. Let the event finish. Just because your backyard got shafted, it doesn't mean event is over.
