964mb low over NYC tomorrow morning. For a layman, that is equivalent approx. to a Catagory 2 Hurricane (the same strength as Hurricane Katrina as it smashed New Orleans). Remember those 100mph gusts I forcasted? Expect those tomorrow morning. Already approaching 8 inches of rain, but we could very well see 10 or 11 inches before all is said and done - smashing the old record of about 8.5 inches.
Unfortunately it's going to be hard for me to get pics. Water is pouring the lobby (three or four inches deep) and they aren't letting anyone leave at the moment. Will try to snap some shots from my window up here on the Fifth floor. I went out for a walk a bit earlier - there's a few inches of water on most surfaces, with puddles knee-deep in dips in the ground. I'm sure it's worse just by the river. There's also an insane amount of thunder right now (my first thunderstorm since moving here last September!). Montana never got T-storms like this. In fact, there's not a place out West that gets T-storms like New York. Arizona's monsoon season has nothing on us.
