Anyone here from Long Island? We have a cousin in Babylon. It seems to be inland (though I've never been there), so flooding shouldn't be an issue. Just wondering how things are there.

[Category 5]

We're under a flood warning now, we've had over an inch of rain and it's still falling steady.

Streams and Creeks are rising

[Tstormwatcher]

Pressure has dropped to 990mb as of 1:25pm

[Category 5]

Pressure has dropped to 990mb as of 1:25pm

Same, 990mb and falling

[MiamiensisWx]

Based on lower pressure reports of 989 mbar to the east of the estimated current location of the surface low (south-central NC), it's possible the actual low center might be reforming further east. The deepening rate of the system is impressive.
