On and off rain has been crazy this evening- foolishly left for home without an umbrella since it wasn't raining at the time, what with the flash flooding messing up all the tunnels it took me forever to get to Brooklyn where it was mad raining again. Crazy.

forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 01:54 (seventeen years ago)

I walked into a store and it was just before sundown. I walked out ten minutes later and it was black as night and sheets of rain.

I'm so happy the power's still on.

(suburban MD, not NYC, but close enough)

kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 02:16 (seventeen years ago)

Power out for five hours and counting. I am typing by candlelight.
I'm in W.Mass., so it's presumably the same storm.

How long until you throw everything in the fridge away? I'm thinking this is the big project that I have been avoiding that has now reached critical mass. (Cleaning out the fridge is always hard, so maybe this is a sign.)

It's ridiculous- this major storm blew through, knocked out the power, and now it's STILL 85 but with no possibility of relief through electricity, fans, a small a/c. I mean, I thought that things would cool down through a soft, gentle rain after the storm, allowing me to sleep.
No-ho-ho!
I am tired and miserable, but it is impossible to sleep when I am soaking the sheets with sweat whenever I lie down in my bed. It's cooler on the kitchen floor. That's where I'm camping right now.
I do have booze, laptop, candles and a very funny/scared kitty.
He doesn't like the candles! But...he wants to know the candles!

It's late, so...hopefully I can venture out tomorrow and find out when the electricity might be coming back. It's weird - there's a tiny strip of this small town (Easthampton) that is not affected, but the rest of this town and four surrounding towns are blacked out. I know this because I went to the 7-11 in the unaffected area and talked to the people in line who had driven there from other towns. I was surprised that this ten block area of easthampton seemed to be the only focus of electricity - and, y'know, I was driving around with my SO because staying in a brutally hot apartment is silly when you can contemplate your carbon footprint by risking death driving in a big storm because the car has A/C. And we definitely noticed that the 7-11 had become somewhat of a Bethlehem for the folks without electricity.

Whatever - I'm sounding like I'm blogging. It's not a big deal - the power will be on tomorrow, and nothing is leaking from the fridge right now.
Sorry for the long post - I really need to feel connected, so you, ilx, are my connection.

aimurchie, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 08:00 (seventeen years ago)

i attended an "event" in the village last nite and leaving around nine it was like The Wizard of Oz outside, wind bending the trees over and blowing dust in my eyes, lightening flashing and raindrops just starting to fall. got on the subway @14th street and took the pokey local to the UWS and when I remerged the storm was ending: rain-slick streets and fallen tree branches adorning Broadway. nice, since I didnae have umbrella.

m coleman, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 11:16 (seventeen years ago)

How long until you throw everything in the fridge away?

Fridges can retain cold pretty well. If you avoid opening it, there's plenty of stuff that will stay good. I avoid the milk if the power stays off for more than a day though.

We're in Western Nassau County and for 1-2 hours this was almost as scary as Sandy. Lost power for about 5 hours and trees down everywhere. One fell right between two neighbors houses, grazing one slightly.

Yo, Semites! (PBKR), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 00:18 (four years ago)

Wow, that's scary. In our part of Brooklyn it was just trees shaking everywhere and about an hour of really serious rain - looking down at my landlady's backyard we could see tree leaves all over the place, but only one of the two dozen potted plants was downed.

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.

They are not from there, but winterized the summer place and live there now.

On a boat, you said?

Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 August 2021 18:43 (three years ago)

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 (three years ago)

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 (three years ago)

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 (three years ago)

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 (three years ago)

Yes, that is usually pretty enjoyable.

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.

mookieproof, Thursday, 2 September 2021 01:37 (three years ago)

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.

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.

We had a little water in one spot in our basement (which happens from time to time) and lost power for about 10 minutes. We've been on LI for 20 years and that was maybe the heaviest rain I can remember.

Looking at local facebook group and there are some crazy pictures from the storm last night. Our area is right on the LI Sound. Part of the road along the water collapsed and fell into the harbor. In another part of town, a cliff below some homes collapsed on to the beach below. Homes looked ok but could have to make some v v expensive (and not covered by insurance) repairs to shore up the cliff. Flooding everywhere.

Water’s flowing underground but rapidly accumulating above ground

Had houseguests who were supposed to drive upstate today but turned around after less than a mile due to floating cars.

Really glad I no longer live in a basement in Park Slope. Hope everyone's ok.

Lily Dale, Saturday, 30 September 2023 14:37 (one year ago)

Yeah I was thinking about the basement apartment dwellers especially in the areas where the water rise was over the sidewalk level

calstars, Saturday, 30 September 2023 15:16 (one year ago)

It’s especially bad considering how many basement apts are illegal and how many are the homes for undocumented people.

Plumber has been trying to diagnose a long-standing leak over here, punched a hole in our wall just in time for this storm and now there is some kind of spray behind the plastic they put up over the hole which is leaking slowly onto the floor, feels like maybe is something draining from the roof.

Good timing. Just as it started my wife called and told me the school nurse called to tell her my daughter wasn't feeling well. She's in the city today while I'm working from my printshop which is a few blocks from the school so I said I'd go get her. Halfway there I had to open the umbrella. While waiting for her the sky opened. It said it was going to last for another half hour so we ran. The streets were already flooding. I had to pick her up and carry her across the street because there were literal rivers streaming down the streets. Got home and changed into dry clothes. It stopped raining 20 minutes later.

Yeah, we were very lucky given the layout.

I've called two tree guys and haven't heard back. So many trees and branches down in our area, so I'm not surprised.

I'm additionally fighting off a cold but I am susceptible to any vague air-pressure based theories tbh, they have the ring of truth.

Er, it's been a drizzly morning, but feels like it's about to really open up. But given the heat wave, I think it's going to be one of those showers that doesn't really bring a sense that the world has been washed and pleasantly reset.
