The August 2011 deluge was my heaviest rainfall total. Long Beach picked up 10" of rain around 12 hours. Much of that fell over a shorter period of time. Almost everyone with a basement in Long Beach experienced flooding. Luckily, the terrain is flat with no river flood plain nearby. So no people, houses, or cars were swept away by rushing flood waters.

 

LB basement garage flooding. Notice the floating freezer behind the garage door windows.

Growing up on the south shore I always wondered why so many homes in places like Long Beach and the Rockaways were built with downhill sloping driveways into below grade garages like that. At least if the garage was at grade it wouldn't direct rainfall or extreme tidal effects into it, the living space of the house would also be raised to protect it when the water came up.

I always wondered the same thing. The developers had to know of the flooding risks from heavy rains and storm surges. Everyone in Long Beach with a driveway like that flooded out in Sandy. Most of the furnaces and water heaters were ruined since they were on that basement level.

At least there was someplace with more rainy days in May than our area.

According to the Iceland Met Office, there has been some precipitation every single day of the month of May in Reykjavik. This is a record amount of rain for May. 

The total amount of precipitation so far is 125.3 millimetres.

The tropical Atlantic ridge is truly awesome right now. You have to wonder if this is a multi-year event. It doesn't seem correlated to ENSO, there are some Arctic ice overlaps but I'm not sure that's completely it as the Atlantic ridge seems to be more dominant right now as the cause.

This was one of the top +NAO Mays. Not even a single - day all month.

Does anyone know why the Iphones and Ipads are getting the fatal error message at line 1089 when trying to go on the forum? I have only been able to get on here with the computer the last few days.

I'm still getting that on my computer. I'm on an i pad now...

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I too cannot get on the board unless I go to https://www.americanwx.com/bb/discover (a link I found by viewing a cache of this site) and then logging on. This applies to PC and iPhone/iPad (don't have an Android device). If I don't log on, almost all clickable options return me to the fatal error. But I see others visiting the site as guests, so some people are able to get to the site. Strange. At the same time, the site looks different, so perhaps a recent update fubared it?

Inserting the standard address https://www.americanwx.com/bb/ in a browser returns the following:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method IPS\Login::forms() in /home/admin/public_html/bb/system/Theme/Theme.php(824) : eval()'d code on line 1089

Is there a way to inform a site administrator?

Same thing same error message, for the last 3 days at least.  I finally got on by going to Alan Huffman's twitter page (to see if there was any news on this site), and clicked on his link to the model page and it worked.   That got me to the model center and then I was able to get to the forums.   

Problem might be fixed now because I just clicked on my regular link here and it opened ok.

The primary site link - https://www.americanwx.com/bb/ - works for me only if I am already logged on. I can get to the site using the Twitter link you noted, or the link I posted earlier, but unless I log on, clicking on forums and other site places returns me to the error message.

Are others having the same problem?
