look like we are missing a lot of this here on long island. slightly relieved

Theres a line of thunderstorms that look pretty serious in the eastern part of Delaware that look like they’re heading right to our area. Probably a good 4 hours away at least.

Simply unprecedented severe storms/tornadoes and not quite unprecedented rainfall, but looking like as much as Floyd, Irene and what we saw for Henri in spots.  Long night - we have some water entering into our basement through our window well windows (the usual path for us in the worst storms), so not posting much - so far, nothing the French drain can't handle, but if it gets much worse, might need to use the portable sump pump.  Be careful out there.  No more current tornado warnings, which is good - the rain is bad enough...

have over 6 inches here in Belle Mead

Somewhere to my SW near Hopewell has to have 10”.  Over 8 here.

First time  I felt the need to go to the basement about an hour ago when Rocky HIll reported a tornado. Just sat on the porch for last 20 mins. The amount of rain falling is incredible.

I'm not saying I'm bummed we got very little rain in my area so far, but man it's been dry and it's crazy to see the NJ coast nearly nothing this entire time. 

[bluewave]

Very busy evening for the rescue crews.

Rain..but the wind is really impressive. Feels like a real tropical storm out. Espcially getting wind and rain together, not one or the other. Absoulty howling outside shaking the hell out the windows.

[Snowlover11]

absolutely ripping here in yonkers, and the extreme heavy stuff is still to the west.  dear lord.

[Santa Claus]

Mercer getting hammered yet again, check out that cell

[eduggs]

Somerset airport in Somerville, NJ unofficially reported 2.83" of rain between 7pm and 8pm, which is impressive. I'm sure there are even heavier backyard hourly totals along the I-95 corridor.

That outbreak produced an f4 in connecticut I believe. I think it also produced the strongest ever tornado on record on long island which was an f2

edit: actually that was July 1989 I was thinking a totally different outbreak that same year

1989 and 1998 had that in common.  Labor Day 1998 produced an F2 about 2 miles from here in Lynbrook.
