Yeah, I ended up doing pretty well once I was able to wall off the water, but it was insane at one point.

Any tips for the mold? Luckily the dew point will be like 40 tom

buy/rent a dehumidifier and hit the moisture hard.  drop desiccant everywhere you feel like, it’s a hell of a lot easier to remove than mold and a hundredth as dangerous and costly as mold is.  be liberal with bleach on spots if you think you have mold growth.  if you have the means get a professional early before it starts manifesting because it’s like bedbugs, an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure.

area mold professionals will be busy and charging accordingly.  if you put some work in over the next few days you will save yourself a lot of time money and stress.

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. 

Oct 30 2015? Buda got 17 inches and Wimberley got 26 inches, that was the day I got my new laptop lol. BAD, BAD flooding in south central Texas. I didnt live down here yet, but I was down in Buda for 8 months in 2015 to get all my teeth removed lol.

13 inches of rain in about 6 hours here in Metuchen. Everything is basically flooded from basements to roadways. I was completely wrong about this event and it’s the worst I have ever scene in this area.

To me this was worse than Sandy flooding wise

Walt - any thoughts on river flooding levels for the Raritan and other major rivers?  Floyd type levels or less.  Seems like there was a bit more rain in Floyd (10-14" common in the Raritan watershed vs. 7-10" now, by my quick inspection), but antecedent conditions before Floyd were much drier, so maybe it'll be close.  

No comment: Please see NWS issuances on those stage details.  I'm just going back as I can to find the IRENE-LEE storm totals  for now. 

[dWave]

At least 8 deaths in the area, 7 within NYC, most were people in their suddenly flooded homes.

[snywx]

5.38” final

[hudsonvalley21]

5.87 total here.

Saw videos of the tornados and damage from them.  Very rare for tornados that size in the Northeast, and rare for a tropical system to spin up such sizes.   How did this system produce those?  Usually they are EF0-1

Depends on the area 

[Rtd208]

This was by far one of the wildest storms I have ever experienced. My town was an absolute disaster at the height of it. 

[gmendevils8204]

Watching News 12 New Jersey. Just saw some yahoo drive through flood water on a closed portion of the Garden State Parkway near exit 147. Can’t make it up.

[MJO812]

Sandy was worst than this storm in my part but this storm was worse for a larger part of the area. Sandy hit the coastal areas area . This storm hit everyone hard.

[mob1]

Finished with 8.47", what a storm.

CAMS like the HREF are doing a great job on how rapidly the convection would fill in ahead of Ida this evening.

 

 

 

The HREF was the only piece of guidance that had the 10”+ potential correct. Notice how tucked in near the 1-95 corridor it was. The team of scientists  that developed this system deserves an award. Most impressive model performance in an extreme event since the Euro in Sandy.

[gmendevils8204]

Traffic map is still a mess. Budget some extra time if you need to go out this morning. There are a ton of road closures and detours.

[KC Storm]

Crazy flooding. Grew up in North Jersey for 27 years till 2019 and that has to be some of the worst flooding I’ve seen. They’ve had bad floods before ie Floyd but this was just a crazy amount of water in such a short time. 

[lee59]

Finished with 4.3 inches of rain and most of it came in an hour or two last night.
