It depends. Isaias was very high impact on LI despite almost no rain. Gusts to hurricane force and many trees down. Debby was a weak TS when it came in, Isaias was a near Cat 2 and did track further east, was also quicker up the coast and wasn’t able to degrade as much. But in general any tropical system going west of us at this latitude will have little rain, but much more wind especially near the coast. There was no inversion so a stronger system would’ve meant damaging wind. Even with this we had gusts into the 40s here and the strongest winds in the whole system most likely. 

Isaias was my worst wind damage back on the South Shore in the last decade. Had SE gusts to 75-80 mph with numerous trees downed. Was also my longest power outage since Sandy.

Apparently locations in southern Quebec are going to record all-time record daily rainfalls in the 5-7 inch range by end of day. I will try to get some actual totals on Saturday a.m. -- Audrey (1957) a Gulf 'cane June 28-29 1957 set some of records in question.

If it would’ve had 8 more hours to strengthen over water off NC and came in at 110-120 mph, we would’ve been in serious trouble given how fast it came north. Would’ve likely still been a solid Cat 1.

The strong south wind from Isaias sent salt spray all the way to my area, some 10 miles from the ocean. The spray killed the leaves on the south facing side of many trees. Some trees did not survive.

We had that here too I'm 5 miles in from the sound...the lack of rain didn't help otherwise it would have washed the salt off the leaves

Will attempt 8/3-9 CoCoRaHs summary maps around 9A.  Indeed less than 0.15" NYC area last evening.

Dawning a nice weekend and currently no expected post from myself on next Tropical system off the east coast later next week. 

[Rtd208]

Picked up 0.30" of rain for the day yesterday.

Final event total 3.21"

[FPizz]

4.58 for the week

[wdrag]

CpoCoRaHs amounts where there were reports overlapping 8/4-10/24 to match up with the original post WPC.  Not too bad in our area by WPC and it would have been a much better fit but Debby ended up much further west D5-6. 

The first image shows the max amounts (reported in gold and red).

Then the break down in our NYC subforum. 

Pockets of 5-7" evident in NNJ.  Click for clarity.

Wantage NJ (this part ) 4.81".

Record rains in Montreal this month following the wettest month on record in July for Toronto.

Downtown Toronto's July rainfall (199.0 mm or 7.87") was actually second to 1841 just after station opened in 1840, it was wettest at YYZ but records only go back to 1938.

Picked up just .40" yesterday.  Total for August to date is 6.35".  Pleasant stretch of weather ahead !

You don't get money for just declaring an SOE, it enables you to be able to recoup money from costs associated with the storm but its not automatic. Beyond the money aspect it also allows for federal assets to be deployed to said area.

Not 100% sure, but the way it was worded, the State of Emergency was declared for the threat of severe weather, which it was obvious was already passed by the official declaration by 6 PM.  State offices were closed at 1:30 PM.  Almost sounds like when the cats away, the mice will play.  So every fallen tree, routine river swelling is a responsibility of the federal government?  Something doesn't sound legitimate...

Just over 6.5" of rain from beginning to end.  Flower gardens are loving this.

Yeah it was a bad call to declare a SOE beginning at 6 pm. If anything it should have gone into effect 12 hours earlier but I don't feel there was enough justification for it yesterday imo. If we were going to be see the 6-10" of rain which the forecast models had earlier in the week then there certinaly would have been justification for it.

Still no power

[nycwinter]

before the rain from debby ny reservoir levels were 83.7% today they are up to  89.9% which is 2.4% above normal i am sure they will continue to increase..
