Yeah, it's raining out here in the burbs. Track shifted further East, so hoping it is as non-event as possible.

according to the national weather service, we are to expect not just heavy rainfall but heavy rainfall impacts

Still waiting for the heavy rain to start a couple hours north of NYC. :/ Still nothing.

Yeah. Is it coming today or tomorrow?

Not complaining (we're getting a bunch of rain, but nothing out of the ordinary).
― Taliban! (PBKR), Sunday, 22 August 2021 17:44 (two years ago) link
It keeps getting pushed back for us. First it was going to start at 3am, then 11am, then 1-2pm....
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 22 August 2021 17:46 (two years ago) link
The longer it rains somewhere else, the less rain it will have to dump on you! The residents of somewhere else are not thrilled by this self-evident fact.

It is sprinkling very, very lightly where I am now, in Kingston, nothing heavy at all so far.
― Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 August 2021 18:07 (two years ago) link
Okay, now it’s turned into a little more.

JR I love Kingston! I was just there last week, didn't know your family hailed from those parts. My parents are actually on a boat hiding out from the storms there now. I had the best mussels of my LIFE last week in a bistro near the stone church.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 22 August 2021 18:38 (two years ago) link
They are not from there, but winterized the summer place and live there now.
― Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 August 2021 18:43 (two years ago) link
On a boat, you said?
Yeah they don't have a home right now so they live on a boat (not permanently). It's a good set-up, they're not suffering. They're waiting in Kingston bc their next destination was going to be Long Island Sound.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 22 August 2021 19:07 (two years ago) link
Ah, interesting.I am actually sitting outside now under a little roof, so not quite getting rained on, but if the wind picks up anymore I will.
― Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 August 2021 21:49 (two years ago) link
We were in Beacon seeing friends where it was calm and peaceful, got on the road and hit intense rain and flooding. Drove through a lake of a puddle due to gushing water near North Bergen. Visibility was super low so suddenly. Made it home finally into flooded Hoboken. Nuts drive.
― Evan, Sunday, 22 August 2021 22:21 (two years ago) link
Yikes Evan! My parents decided to move halfway through the afternoon because the weather was so calm (and they were running out of water, and my dad hates sitting still), and it was clear sailing until south of West Point, at which point they probably hit the same weather you did, and had huge problems docking safely and are finally tied down but a little shellshocked.
I'm about to go sit on a screen porch and listen to it rain.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Monday, 23 August 2021 00:32 (two years ago) link
Yes, that is usually pretty enjoyable.
― Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 23 August 2021 01:08 (two years ago) link
I can't fall asleep without "Rain Falling On Attic Skylight With Quiet Thunder Sounds". I used to require multiple televisions and radios like Roky Erickson, so that's an improvement.
Sleeping during an audible downpour is a rare opportunity not to be missed. You gotta seize the day.

3-4 inches per hour is impressive
― mookieproof, Thursday, 2 September 2021 01:37 (two years ago) link
I wouldn’t mind all this water if our basement didn’t flood when it happened. To make it worse this time, the door has mysteriously locked for the first time since we’ve lived here and the landlord can’t find the key, so we can’t we can’t even go down there and move things off the floor or survey the damage.

as usual my roof is leaking a lot and it sucks

I’ve been mopping up water in our garden level apartment for the past few hours. We have a sliding glass door and at the high point there were a few inches of water behind the glass, like an aquarium, and water was seeping in around it and under the front door. Not fun.

Queens Boulevard in Maspeth/Corona is a literal river at the moment. Bus fully flooded driving through, multiple cars stuck in the water. Absolutely insane. pic.twitter.com/LuSL9uWCEl— Joe English (@JoeEEnglish) September 2, 2021
