For anyone who is curious, our storm total rainfall was 4.73" in my rain gauge. No ponds in the low spots of our back yard that would normally collect water from a heavy rain, possibly because we were dry-slotted from the bulk of last week's hurricane rainfall.

Metro North has most rail service to NYC suspended this morning, and I'm curious to see if the Ramapo River washed out the Port Jervis line tracks near Sloatsburg like it did in past major rainstorms. If so, that could mean those trains are offline for months again.....

We chose to close our clinic today. We didn't want our staff and patients on the road. We'll see about tomorrow.

I can't believe how bad the Northeast got it. Obviously everyone had been so focused on Louisiana and the SE regions but wow. To think how much smaller the storm was by the time it reached NY/NJ areas yet still wreaked havoc.

My brother just sent me pics of Route 22, not sure what town but new cars on a dealership lot floated over the median and are blocking the road. What a shit show.
That’s the whole area I grew up. My friends FB pics are devastating. This is almost 10 years to the day of Tropical storm Irene with very similar outcome

Things have cleared up and are starting to feel like Fall. Sun is shining, with a cool breeze around 70 degrees.

Glad to see at least one small upside. But are there usually that many dogs running free in that park?

As the remnants approached the coast on their way out, they combined with a stationary warm front and pulled in additional moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. The remnants, coastal fetch, and jet stream combined to create the rotation that spun up the tornados in Maryland and New Jersey.

One of the NYC TV weather guys was upset before the devastation started that people weren't taking it serious enough, because of the "remnant low" moniker being used in all of the earlier forecasts implying that it was weak and nothing to be concerned about.

Out of curiosity, where was that picture taken in Piscataway? I have lots of relatives who used to live there, and several who are also buried there.....

On Lakeview Avenue somewhere, probably around S Washington and Stelton.
