Rtd208 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Quick downpour but it looks like plenty more on the way. It would be something if we had a repeat of last Friday here when I received over 4" of rain and had plenty of flooding in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storms are moving pretty quickly so I don't think we'll see those copious amounts but some spots could get multiple cells training over the same area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the NWS mentioned the greater chance for flooding would be tonight with more showers/storms expected, have to see how things play out. Regardless its the second stormy Friday in a row.

ForestHillWx Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Looks great on radar, interesting the mass moving North-east on a Northwest to southeast line. The sky has gotten noticeably at the office in Parsippany. Winds are increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock888 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Meh. Looked great on radar and very ominous coming in but just a few flashes of lightning and like a 40 second downpour here in south Queens. Hopefully round 2 is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 They got the start point of the tornado wrong. My parents live and I grew up on 121st street between 25th rd and 25th ave. They went out last night after the tornado happened and drove around and took photos. There was some decent damage southwest of the designated St Fidelis Church start point on 120th street between 18th and 20th ave and on 121st street just northeast of there. Might have been some damage closer to Flushing Bay even. The most noteworthy damage on 120th street near 20th ave were a couple large trees down and a house with minor roof/gutter/siding/fascia damage. For reference, just that point is 0.3 miles from the official PNS start point. I highly doubt that the damage last night where it occurred was anything but tornadic, which also calls into question the end point, particularly how PNS mentioned straight line wind damage east-northeast of end point. Mini supercells are not known for causing straight line wind damage. I wrote a note to the OKX WCM. Hopefully they take a look at adjusting at least the start point.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Almost an instant flash flood here. About an inch of rain in less than five minutes. Unreal.

It's hard on those damage surveys to get everywhere so things get missed.Yup, Nelson is a good guy, I worked with him when I was a SCEP at OKX from Feb 2009 to July 2010. OKX is aware of that damage. I sent a bunch of photos to my friend who works there and was on a midnight shift last night and he passed it to the day shift for survey purposes. I'm just confused why the MIC chose to start the tornado by the church and not farther southwest. Since that damage is so close by I doubt they missed it.
