A 500 year event!

Heard on the radio on the way to the train today...

As much as 14" of rain fell in parts of Long Island during a 24hr period ending yesterday.

Shattered the NY State record set in Tarrytown during Hurricane Irene.

1. Incredible.

The Baltimore and DC area experienced similar flooding from the same system.

2. Tough weather day in the Northeast, yesterday.

I like the photo of the two women wading through the water. They don't seem overly perturbed by the situation. "Well, that happened." they seem to be saying.

4. "a little water won't keep me from my daily run"
