I think 5-10 mins would be a safe bet (maybe even less) but obviously we'll never know. This was Islip (13" deluge) level rainfall rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 That August 2011 8" of rain at JFK is very memorable- and it came a month after we hit 104 degrees and 108 degrees at Newark! In August 2011 we also had to deal with the rains of Irene and a 5.8 earthquake! Chris, a storm that just missed this list though it comes close is the January 2016 Blizzard which was a 3" liquid equivalent (31" of snow) at JFK! That May 1, 2014 event is also memorable for all the flooding we had with widespread 5" rainfall totals (mostly at night)! Interesting I had forgotten that in March 2010 we actually had two big rainfall events, like we did in August 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
