UPDATE: Rainfall in NYC now the 4th highest amount all time in a 24 hour period! Before all is said and done we might be able to make a run at the all time record! Rain has never been so exciting.

SECOND UPDATE: 79mph sustained winds recorded on Long Island's South Shore. The hurricane conditions have begun.
