With all due respect...and taking into account the fact that you are a red tagger...though you can surely offer me many lessons on synoptic meteorology...try not to offer me too many lessons on the climatology of the Eastern U.S.

This is a synoptic event, no doubt. LI does well when the flow has a strong easterly component. When it's a SW or S wind, as is typical with approaching summertime fronts, Stripmallville more often than not receives less rain. You don't really need a red tag to make that point (BTW I don't work in the field so no need to offer any respect, I'm a hobbyist like y'all).

I do admire the dedication to the climatological details, though, and of course, the fierce homerism.

These totals are even greater than the record rainfall  that I experienced in Long Beach during August 2011.

Check out how close the dates are to each other.

Islip all-time monthly record rainfall is 13.84". So far they've seen 13.10". They've stopped raining for now.

 

Its a pretty short record...dating back to the 1980's...the snowfall record is badly messed up prior to about 2008...not quite as sure about the rainfall one.

4.64" looks like the final in Long Beach. It was as of 7:30AM when the rain stopped. Very impressive-definitely beat my expectations.

 

My Long Beach record for 90 minutes to 2 hrs was 5.15 on 6-23-95. The daily record was 10.87 on 8-14-11.

We lost our drinking water during the 95 event for a day or two as a water pipe was undermined and broke.

I remember the 10.87". It was at Lido Beach.
