Downtown Millburn is completely underwater and every downtown business is damaged/destroyed

These small businesses barely survived Covid. This is another devastating blow for them. Hoping  they were properly insured at least.

Are you out on duty tonight in this? What have you seen? It’s bad out here on Island but for most part we escaped the bulk of it - though making up ground now 

I'm on vacation right now . Laying in bed.

Hate to even imagine if the fatalities up here will be higher than those down in LA from Ida.

I think the number of drownings will be shocking.  

[lee59]

About 1.5 inches in the past hour, total now 3 inches.

Absolutely wild out here with rates nearing 3” per hour.

1.60” so far.

And, an absolute horrible way to go. In your own car?

I can’t even believe that’s real.

Idiots are trying to drive through flooded streets.

How many issues did the subway have because of Sandy? Why are once in 1,000 year events happening almost every year?

R train tunnel between Manhattan and Brooklyn was closed for a loonggg time.  Lots of damage to the tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn/Queens.

Unfortunate but not surprising. You just can’t reason with some people.

Nearing 8" at my station...7-8+" seems pretty common among stations here on si.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see some spin ups east of New Haven with that radar over the Sound. I don’t know if you allow cursing but holy shit, just dark ass red everywhere.

I hear i95 in Bridgeport has cars under water.  

[jm1220]

Heavy rain again here but looks like the worst is over outside of central/eastern Suffolk. Radar estimating I'm at 5" or so now. Maybe I can make it to 6".

[Gravity Wave]

Large number of people stuck at the US Open it seems. Not in danger there but they might not get out tonight.

[guinness77]

Lol phone blowing up again. FF warning until 2:30 now. I want to go to sleep so bad, but this is insane. 

[Cfa]

4” per hour rates. 2.24” event total so far.
