A normally quiet section of the Bronx River in Scarsdale, NY:

I tried to get by the Bronx River near Gun Hill, but its pouring so relentlessly I gave up. I remember after Irene it was maybe the highest levels I ever saw, at the current rate this will probably reach or exceed that but I dunno if upstream is getting as much rain as the city to add to the runoff down here. Some of the parks along the parkway got covered in several feet of water back then.

the entire bronx river area is being drenched by heavy rain from white plains on down.  That thing floods if you spit into it.

 With Central Park now well over 6" and likely already approaching if not already exceeding 7" with significant rain still falling, there's a high chance based on your chart that Henri later gets to 2nd place with only Sept. of 1882 wetter.

I think Central Park’s already over 7”.
