Winds are finally starting to die down. Lucky my boat wasn't on the mooring although it probably would have been fine. We had gusts over 60 mph but we are high up so no flooding. Had to clean the pool out numerous times. A mess but could be worse!
 
I m a little surprised at the hype about what is just a simple gale. I mean.. the news report have the usual set up with clowns leaning into the winds claiming the winds gust are being recorded over 70mph. Not a single weather station along the Jersey, LI or MA coast has reported sustained winds over 40kts. Top gusts on the Jersey shore were 44kts at Seaside Heights and the NY Harbor entrance buoys.

Hey, if there’s no story, just make something up. It’s TV and they need the ratings!

Pretty typical with any event these days. Not sure why anyone bothers to even turn on the TV anymore.
 
The flooding in jersey is pretty bad, worse than any storm since Sandy I believe,

whatever the winds were measured at, this was the strongest storm since Sandy and the rain won't quit till tomorrow.
I'm sure the south shore communities of LI really got hit hard. Wind is bad but flooding is even worse, that was proven by Sandy especially when the storm lasted through several low to high tide cycles.
Windy.com app reported 60 knts. That's close to the upper limit of a tropical storm force winds @ 69 mph. Trees full of leaves, is another factor.
 
Windy shows forecasts, various models. Not actual data. The worst winds on LI were at the Fire island CG station this morning. 32kts sustained 41kts gust. That’s nothing worst than a summer thunderstorm :)

Flooding? Yes that s an issue. Especially with king tides. Heck lots of flooding down in Maimi beach this week end. At the marina, our stairs were nearly vertical last night
