The rain in New York is completely out of control

[yisman]

People not from the area may think I'm exaggerating, but you wouldn't believe the frequency and intensity of the downpours here.

I live in Queens, and my neighborhood is semi-underwater.

The latest stuff knocked out my Internet completely and I had some time-sensitive material to take care of on the Internet, so I walked about a mile to another location. Before I got to the corner of my block, my sneakers all the way up to my ankles were filled with water. I should've worn boots, but they restrict movement.

There are places on the way I couldn't cross because the water level was too high. I had to change my route.

It's frightening how hard it was coming down. And every time I open my windows (when the rain briefly stops), my house gets soaked. I can't open the windows anymore because the periods of dryness are so short.

Everything is flooded. The streets, the sidewalks, you name it.

not far off. I think this is what it was like during the Biblical flood.


now some guy is talking on his cell phone in Spanish.

[pozzy]

Its been raining a week straight but the forcast is looking very good

[yisman]

finally made it home and my Internet is sort of working.

I'm not opening the windows, though. I've learned my lesson.

I live in Queens

Where do you live? I lived in Middle Village before moving to PA two years ago.

[CashMoney]

Hopefully, July will be much, much better. I can't take any more rain. What I would give for a nice 90 degree day...........

[jjgold]

I think we are ok now, rain pattern is mostly gone.

Not far from Queens College. Also not far from where Ganch lived.

Queens is fairly big, though. Easily the biggest NYC borough in terms of area.

Yeah, it rained itself out on Thursday. I think it's coming back on Friday, though.

The reports say the 4th should be clear. We'll see...

[tullamore]

I live in Boston, and its just as bad.

I feel like I am living in some Far East country and its moonson season.

[TheLock]

Add South Florida to the list of places where it never stops raining.

[InTheHole]

Im up over here in Western PA from Jersey...never experienced anything like this in my life. At least one day a week where it's undriveable due to lack of visibility

[yisman]

same old story the last few days here.

It started on Sunday night (causing Sunday Night Baseball to be shortened) and it's hardly stopped since.

[Brock Landers]

Yisman, will they get the 1st game or either game of the DH in today?

[yisman]

sorry Brock, didn't see your post until now.

I wasn't sure they would, but it did stop a little after 1 and it's been sunny since. There shouldn't be any problem getting the DH in.

[jjgold]

Yisman I did not know you live in Queens

What Part??

[whatsgood5]

Nice and dry here in Central NY, although there was some snow this morning, go figure.

[stealthyburrito]

so is there going to be another rainout in NY??

[yisman]

no, burrito. it stopped and they're getting in G1 and G2 shouldn't be a problem either.

I have tickets to tomorrow afternoon's game.

jj, Flushing.

[Boner_18]

It's been rain free down here in Brooklyn since around 10am.

[jjgold]

I pass Flushing when I go to Brooklyn (East NY Section)
