Wow. Lol yeah prolly as to the wind fix. Has it been damaging over there or is it not as bad as stated. Breezy here but nothing too much to say. I'm just hoping we can get this big storm as snow in Jan!!

wow 244k outages in eastern mass, barnstable has 23,000 and they not a huge town.  Anyone have a wind max report ?

Regarding the flooding I’d imagine that like most areas there is a lot more concrete and pavement in and around any given area making flooding a lot easier when compared to a few decades ago. Less area to absorb rain and more area to funnel more water to specific lower lying areas. It’s certainly like that by me compared to when I grew up.

Just went outside roaring here too very windy. Probably not like LI but it is loud with the trees having leaves.

Not much wind in Jersey City... but Long Island is definitely feeling it this morning and through the day.

Although copious amounts of rain fell, it was spread out over many hours unlike Ida. Flash floods are a 'flash' because 4"+ of rain falls literally within a 2-3 hour span.

Morning all! Ended with 6.1" total. Had some local road closures that drained quickly after the downpours. A few homes near the brook had some water damage, but overall we fared ok. Now hopefully the winds won't cause any problems!

6.04" rain total here.

Wow 94 mph on the vinyard!! Tons of gusts between 80-90mph all up and down cape and eastern mass, major damage there, reports of a plane picked up and landed on a nearby road.

5.45" of rain picked up an inch over night
Winds not verification here but more so to teh west of me at work

This from tweet
My buddy who lives directly on the water in Green Harbor just texted me:

“Holy F - - -! High tide right now. Waves over the wall. House shaking like bombs going off”

At 3:59am the Beachcomber in Wellfleet gusted to 97mph! You can see on the graph that winds are slowly beginning to come down now. pic.twitter.com/xWhyycERWM

Edgartown getting slammed - from report whole island no power

The reservoir where i live must have filled up by about 8' even as they dump water. Zoo can you confirm? I drove by this morning and was like WOWZA the water near the top of it.

Woodcliff Lake reservoir started at 90' before the storm, is at 93' as of noon today. It has a capacity of 95' I believe. They didn't put the gates up to "catch" the water, which might have prevented some of the flooding issues. What was going in from Park Ridge was coming right out in Hillsdale.

I got seven inches of rain. I emptied the gauge with four inches in it as it only has a five inch capacity. So three more makes it seven inches. I have wetlands down off my driveway to the side about ten feet down and yes, most of it was flooded. I have seen it fill like a swimming pool but this time, it was like a foot high and about half the area flooded. Thank goodness our foundation drains have a place for the water to go. You can build in a swamp if you have a place for the water to go. There have been a few times when I did see water four feet over the drain outlet. All I could do was put a 3/4 pump in front, and pump the water for a day across the road to the other side of the stream. We never flooded but the stream has jumped the road a few times and washed it out. Fortunately by the foundation drain it is higher ground. I did not see anyone say they got flooded out (great!). Today, the high was 60. Tonight, woodstove time at 38%.

Friday round 2

This temporary anemometer from MAREPAM at White Crest Beach in Wellfleet (11’AGL, 73’AMSL) recorded an instantaneous 93mph, 1 sec 91mph, 3 sec 87mph and 60 sec 74.5mph. Wow. Hurricane conditions. @WX1BOX pic.twitter.com/cfUg0WbqSm

Looking through buoy data with @sarahwroblewski
Buoy 44029 off MA Coast reported 32 foot waves for three consecutive hours and then just stopped reporting.
Trying to imagine that in my mind...Perfect storm-like scene

I used to go there all the time when we did our yearly trip to wellfleet, favorite cape town! That place is pretty rickety i hope it s still standing.

213k without power in eastern mass, most of the cape is 100% in the dark.

Interior should snow with the cold air intrusion

Fall weeeknd!

Crazy how ocean temps got knocked down by some 10* + from the Nor'easter which chills/cools our temps moving fwd. with E and NE winds

I can't recall such a drastic water temp drop over the course of 48 hours, but this is what happens when you have well above average warmth and then a slow-moving, strong Nor'easter churning up the ocean. 12° drop recorded by the Great South Bay (LI) buoy, 10° in Nantucket! ️ pic.twitter.com/F3qshSWMAn

He didnt edit it. LOL its actually real Jon. Here is Upton:
https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OKX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

A tight pressure
gradient develops to the northeast of the approaching system and
north of the occluded frontal boundary. Most of the surface pressure
progs show strong tightening of the gradient towards 21-20z. This is
when winds will really start to ramp up from SW to NE across the
southern half of the area, especially right along the coast. Will
not make any changes to the wind advisory has is in effect for NYC,
Long Island, Southern Westchester, and Coastal CT beginning this
afternoon and continuing into tonight. BUFKIT profiles look rather
impressive with the potential for a few 45 to 50 mph gusts, thus
right on the bottom edge of wind advisory criteria. The window does
look rather short, maybe about 3-6 hours of the strongest winds, so
its possible the wind advisory could be taken down slightly earlier
than its current expiration time.

They did add southern Westchester after that. I got alert. Weird though it's like Westchester initially said nope it's go be windy to west and east but not in between. Upton is weird.
I think Upton just made a mistake on the map cuz the discussion says southern Westchester but that map doesn't have it shaded. The map on weather.com does though. Regardless getting strong gusts all day but really picking up now. Fit perfectly with the early Halloween even we were just at.

Just realized today anny of Sandy.
