I had a whopping 1.25 inches of rain in my gauge as of about 10 minutes ago,and the rain has stopped.we got spared any damage, other than some leaves torn off trees and flowers.

This thing is far from over for us; a huge tree just came down on my next door neighbor's property over the power lines. One of those "Tree of Heaven" weed trees that the crazy village I live in won't let people cut down. The guy two houses down had a branch go through his roof; tree came from his neighbor's property in the same "easement" that is supposed to protect the trees. A year ago a different tree his his house in the same area. The guy whose property the tree was on went in front of a board to trim/cut the trees and was denied. Go figure.

Winds are still gusting in the 30-50 mph range.

Same here. I live on the last functioning road between three towns and we're now knocked out. No power. Oh well I found the Scotch.

Our HOA has publicly stated they will not deny anyone from cutting down a tree (there own property), because if it does fall then the liability is on the HOA.

Hang in there!!

I'm on my last bunch of wireless-tether time before I shut down from good.

The storm didn't seem bad, but every single road between towns up here is washed out or has trees down - it's much worse than it seems on the surface. Final total is 9.5 inches of rain - most of it in 5-6 hours. The streams just couldn't handle it. No power.

Signing off for who knows how long...

I'm still without power, which means I have no water too since I'm on a well. Lots of debris on the roads and in my yard but it could have been much worse. The trees that took out the power lines down the road were bound to fall eventually...they border the road on a steep, barren slope...at least a 50 gallon trashcan of dirt washes away at every heavy rain. All the roots were exposed but the property owner and township have done nothing. Total incompetence.

I just had to drive to Glen Spey NY for the day (near Port Jervis). What a disaster. 87/84/17 all have closures, had to work up route 23 north, which itself had 3 or 4 diversions (practically through farms). Then we finally get back to LI and get stuck behind a convoy of line trucks from Houston that totally clogged up an intersection near my house for 40 minutes (after 10 hours in the car). Should have been 2.5 hours, with traffic in each direction, took twice as long. I know Florida gets it bad, but I just don't think they have the rivers and trees we do up here.

Hi all - Lost power early Sunday am, still powerless, but have a generator

Total of approx 4 inches but we had sustained winds of 60 MPH for over 12 hours. Lawn held up, tons of branches and limbs in my yard Lots of trees down in Milford, rumor has it we're not high on the list, so it could be a few more days. It's eerie at night when the whole street is pitch black

We got walloped, but VT got it worse
