That still gets them to about 7" total. Thankfully rain is about over there.

Tornado incoming to Falmouth, eastern Cape. Wow. This is unbelievable.

ISP doesn't have an inch yet lol

Current road situation....

Power went out and the basement is flooding in new haven

[nycsnow]

Winds cranking big time power outages will probably continue to go up

Remember, seven years ago, Islip had 11" of rain in a few hours.

[jm1220]

Big totals in the NW corner of Suffolk too. I'm at about 5.5" per Radarscope but 7"+ just west and north of me.

Looks like about 4" by me, maybe some more, @STORMANLI would have the exact amount

Thunder cracking loud as hell. Rain picking back up. Can hear the trees dancing.

I was about to post the same.. its all closed, including streets not usually prone to flooding. That's flash flooding..then there is river flooding to come, how that will rank historically will be interesting 

[guinness77]

I can’t believe I’m typing this but this may be the worst Metro event since Sandy. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my area continues to dodge a bullet. I don’t think the true scope of what’s happened tonight will come to light until tomorrow and the following days either.

Looks like my area jackpotted with 8"+ amounts. Very happy not to have a basement as everyone around me had basement flooding. 

I'm on a hill but downstream there's loads of flooded roadways. Even after the rain ends we'll see some major river flooding. 

All this from the remnants of a tropical system.

This feels like the rain equivalent of that early snowstorm that paralyzed the city in 2018, except this event is more significant.

Tragically it sounds like there are fatalities already. Might be the case that there are more up here than down in LA.

I wonder if schools are open in Long Island due to state of emergency? 
 

how are things in Long Island? I haven’t been outside actually working indoors

[Intensewind002]

Up to 1.45” of rain in sw suffolk now. Winds have died down and shifted around to the sw

[Intensewind002]

Long Island will be relatively unscathed compared to the City on west.

Most Long Island schools open after Labor Day.

Yeah I’m in SW Suffolk. I feel lucky, so far.
