Dix are you coming up for air?

That was some deluge Long Island got last night. Hope you are staying high and dry.

Grew some gills, BG

Actually, as I told BB, it "missed me by that much", to quote Maxwell J. Smart !! 20 miles to the west is where most of the devastation was, and further west.

Murph would not go outside until it subsided about 8:15 AM here.

Worst for me was having my splitter trash wash away that I hadn't picked up from the ground and in the piles not stacked yet.

Many have it much, much worse. I feel for them. Basements flooded, etc.

One families dog washed away. His body was found this morning

Thanks for checking in. I could not believe the amount of rain they got close by you. What a nightmare. I'm glad your troubles were minor and Murph is able to finally relieve himself.

Had to drive through actual rivers on the way to work. Co-worker spent 48 hrs pumping his finished basement to keep boiler from going under. 13".

pictures remind me of what we down here refer to as "the flood of 69"

happened when the remnants of Camille literally parked over Nelson county Va and dumped 26 inches of rain in 6 hours in a mountainous area this is devastating, killed a couple hundred people, like 30 some were never found. its never pretty to see

I initially thought the news misplaced a decimal point, that's crazy rain, let alone in that time frame

 

[begreen]

That's not rain, it's a firehose.

My gutters literally cleaned them selves.

3" here. We "got off easy". But there was a lot of standing water in areas that aren't usually reservoirs.

6.5" further north (Portland/Freeport). People in that area whose roads were not "to code" and were washed away are now struggling with how to pay for replacement (hopefully to code).
