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

I believe similar happened with Hurricane Camille. That storm is probably a good analog for Ida

Fair statement

Reminds me of the remnants of Hurricane Patricia in Oct 2015 when I was in Austin. Parts of the city had 15” from that mostly falling that morning. That’s still by far the heaviest rain I’ve ever seen. It probably beat the rain rates in this storm even. That reminded me of the Aug 2014 event in Islip.

I wouldn't say easily but it's up there.

At least for us here in Jersey, yes.

These Gulf storms often have a Part 2 in this region where they hit Atlantic moisture and dump again. Allison and Camille and now Ida.

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

eastern maybe, western long island has gotten a lot of heavy rain especially tonight

but for whatever reason they rain themselves out before they make it too far east on Long Island

it's like with winter storms, temps always drop off in the western part of long island first

what happened up here with Camille? The only thing I know about it is that it was a Cat 5 that hit the Gulf, no news of anything it did once it came inland

Exactly. Looks like we’re in for another 2 solid hours of off and on pounding thunderstorms. Everything off the ocean looks like Wantagh to Islip.

It's going to be scary picking up the pieces after this one tomorrow.  Still got lightning and thunder going on outside.

Camille wound up dropping extreme rainfall in Virginia days after it made landfall, unfortunately over a 100 died from the flash flooding and mudslides… they both formed in the same region as well, just south of cuba, but camille never made landfall in cuba so it was able to get it’s act together more quickly compared to ida.

Michael also made landfall in the Gulf, did it make landfall too far east down there to have an impact up here?

That's the Costco where I was going to get gas tomorrow.  Guess I'll go elsewhere.

Camille had the infamous Hurricane Party at an inland hotel that ended up not far enough inland

The scars on the mountains down here are still visible..... 30 plus inches mainly under 6 hours...

Yeah michael kinda came in at an angle where it was traveling northeastward and went back out into the atlantic fairly quickly, off the coast of north carolina. It did causes some flooding and power issues in the carolinas and virginia too though, i remember it dropped up to 10” in nc, and there was significant flooding since they were already waterlogged from florence a month earlier, pretty similar to what’s happening in nj ny and pa now that i think about it

[WE GOT HIM]

Guys tonight was the craziest thing I've ever seen I was ready for the the flood and I still flooded I had sandbags Pumps, dry vacume luckily I saved most of my basement but I can't imagine how other people dealt with this

[WE GOT HIM]

Lol
