At least you're not having to contend with fires where you're at.
Yes, definitely.

The storm tracked further east. I just got a shit load of rain. No wind. Parts of Brooklyn got flooded with 6 inches of rain overnight. Littlebear may be floating away. I wonder how vreihen16 is doing.

Spoke to my dad in RI today around 1:30. Lights flickered on and off a few times but at least to that point, fortunately no power outage or damage other than a few broken tree limbs. Sounds like eye passed over Block Island. Hope everyone else is doing ok. Hurricanes (and even some tropical storms) suck.

I wish I had my camera this morning @ Prospect Park! Dozens of dogs running through the flooded lawn, pools up to 2 ft deep.
Onslow asserted order upon the pack, as he always does.
I stuck my umbrella into the ground & got soaked like a dog.
We are in Prospect 'Heights' so no real probs. I'd be surprised if the wind broke 20mph.

Oh no, I can only imagine the condition of the many unpaved roads on the island.

The storm did a dry slot pinwheel around us! Absolutely still winds all day. My rain gauge picked up a paltry 0.04" of rain by 10 AM, and went up to 0.09" by 2 PM. We had a few hours of light/moderate rain after that, and my gauge finally broke 1.00" at 7:15 PM. The rain shield is all to our west (inland) now, and we are on the back edge about to move back into the dry slot as the storm's remnants mozy west (towards NY) over CT.

I just checked the security cameras around the house. The basement is 100% dry, and there's no puddles in the low spots of the back yard. In other words, a whole lot of nothing-burger.....

Didn't seem that crowded with cars when I was there 10 years ago exploring inner LA.

It's been raining for 36 hours. This morning was a white knuckle ride to work between the roads being flooded and of course, as soon as I left the sky opened up. It was that torrential downpour where your wipers don't go fast enough and you can't even see the lines on the highway.

I woke up this morning to discover that Tropical Depression Henri's center of circulation had migrated so far westward inland that it was actually over us!

Calm wind, 29.70 inHG barometer, light drizzle. Our storm total rain so far was only 2.11" because of the way the storm dry-slot pinwheeled around us, which is way less than the 8+ inches that NJ, Lawn Guyland, and CT saw in many flooded areas.....

I never lived in LA but I lived in Orange County even though my office was in LA area (not downtown thankfully). Night and day.

We are getting rain today and 9 C for temperature. The rain is welcome but it could be a little warmer.

Winter is coming.
This morning I woke up at the usual 0530. It was DARK, had to turn on the light next to the bed. Then I looked at the thermometer that is outside. 58 I SHOULD have put my parka on, but can't remember where I stored it.
