Are you New Yorkers ready for Hurricane Henri?

Cunt better head offshore. We've had enough rain this summer.

Yes, do you have any predictions when we'll see one this season? I think the forecast for Sunday is some rain, but other than that, no Hurricanes for NY. Unless by NYers you meant anyone who lives in the state? They don't count.

It might just squeak by eastern LI.

Oh my. Oui oui.

Hurricane? Darn! I was hoping for Meaty Henri!

New England is in trouble

Bendel's revenge.

@ R5

tiny nips

R1 Actually we had a lot of rain all this year. I was planning on spending this Sunday in Central Park, but I doubt that will happen now.

Send the rain our way

I hope a lot of rats and pigeons drown.

Nothing named Henri ever turns out good.

I predict many al fresco dining structures will be destroyed, forcing infectious tourists and their fraus into diners and restaurants, causing a severe spike in Covid illnesses and deaths.

I predict flooding in the subways like the Titanics.

Alligators in the sewers.

How bad is this ?

The only Henri I care about is Samuel.

Great. I'm flying in to JFK Monday morning.

Is it ‘Hen-ree’ or ‘On-rey’?

Ahn-Rey pronounced by David Tyler Muir on World News Tonight.

Is he related to Mari Tyler Muir?

Look at that narcissistic bear at R5 gaze at his own image. What a cunt.

Henri Leclair was the only good thing about Mr. Selfridge. Oo la la!

"The storm’s arrival will coincide with a full moon Sunday, which could prompt higher tides and more widespread coastal flooding, the outlet said.

“This is the most serious hurricane risk in New England in 30 years,” Accuweather Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter said."

‘Enri oooh la la 😩

va t'en faire foutre, chienne!

Is this the ***OFFICIAL*** Hurricane Henri thread?

Do you have a reservation, r27?

Don't look at me, I'm dead. I didn't do it.

Hasn’t Provincetown been through enough this summer?

It’s officially a hurricane now.

VIVIAN, REMOVE THE GERANIUMS FROM THE BALCONY!

I hope nyc gets hit

[quote]VIVIAN, REMOVE THE GERANIUMS FROM THE BALCONY!

Oh, dear Iris. That's Vivi[bold]e[/bold]n, with an E.

I don’t differentiate between vowels when it comes to the help, R33/dear.

This is the equivalent of Chris Cuomo.

r34 Hiya, Iris.

No, please don't flood the subways. I don't think we've even finished repairing them from Sandy.

UGH!

Lions 🦁 & Tigers 🐯 & Bears 🐻 Oh My!

Oh please, they love to hype up the fucking "storm" for ratings. Nothing is gonna happen ffs.

I saw a map, they said lower manhattan might get some heavy rain, that area is well known to flood during storms. it's hurricane zone 1 (the worst). You gotta know your zones. and ever since 9/11, I have a go bag. You guys need to get one too.

Remember the last time they fucking shut the subways down for a few inches of snow?! it was fucking ridiculous!

Nothing is gonna happen but stay safe and get your supplies just in case.

Oh, they are having that central park concert today! it's gonna thunderstorm in the afternoon LOL.

It's God's way of saying cancel your superspreader event, CNN.

I hope Martha’s Vineyard gets hit hard

[quote] I have a go bag.

It’s go time.

I thought the Central Park concert was next weekend. There’s a street fair on Eighth Avenue, though.

Will the rain hinder the erecting of the Times Square Ferris wheel?

Please God, let it be so!

It’ll blow the roof off Broadway!

‘The only Henri I care about is Samuel.’

Way too sophisticated for this crowd..

[quote]This is the equivalent of Chris Cuomo.

Getting pounded?

it's a category one. Is it turning in a way that would cause enormous flooding?

Stay safe everyone.

If you can evacuate to out of the path, please do so, This helps cut down on the people who do need first responders. In the aftermath, it reduces the number of people who need supplies. There is always no supplies or food.

While of course do affect NYC, hurricanes that mainly hit LI, Conn and New England generally aren't as intense. The Great New England Hurricane of 1938 leveled entire areas of LI, Conn and New England.

For a hurricane to majorly affect NYC eye of storm or good northern side of it would need to pass over New Jersey. This is because the northern side of a hurricane is usually always more dangerous, and takes into account the geography of NYC/NJ harbor.

Given nature of NYC/NJ harbor and coastline including how Long Island juts out any storm of decent intensity will funnel water up into North and East Rivers, along with various bays, etc....

Hurricane Sandy was just such an event and this explains why so much of Manhattan below about 34th or 23rd streets are flood zones for several blocks in from North or East rivers

And here I had plans to be a big old hoebag in NYC this weekend. Drat. Shaved my nuts and everything.

Sandy wasn’t actually a hurricane, though, right? It was a superstorm consisting of two combined weather systems? A freak event?

I hope they wash away the Hamptons and montauk. They real estate prices are insane.

[quote] Mother Nature doesn't give to fucks

Oh, dear!

don't walk under scaffolding with construction. there will be high winds, things can fall off the buildings. In the past, sheets of glass has fallen off construction sites etc.

Be safe DLers!

Long Island Express Hurricane of 1938 was no laughing matter.

I remember that crane teetering on W 57th St during Sandy. Yikes.

History Channel did a great series on New England hurricane of 1938. Happily all eight parts are up on YT for those interested.

Watched years ago when it was first broadcast on television and just couldn't imagine what people would do today. East End of LI is far more built up than back in late 1930's, and even with modern early warning or whatever there still is only one major highway out of LI back into city, the Long Island Expressway.

The predictions just suddenly shifted east again. Now it's coming ashore at Amagansett and will go directly over the Devon Yacht Club.

I’m in Brooklyn and I had groceries delivered today just in case.

We've had more rain this summer than California has had in the last two years.

New York has received 34.5 inches of rain so far this year and it's only August.

Satellite.

[quote] In the past, sheets of glass has fallen off

Oh, dear!

Thanks for the reco, r61.

I’ll look for that.

Hope you b'ys got yer storm chips in in time!

Henri is coinciding with a full moon. That means the tides would be at their highest, even with out the hurricane. This is exactly what happened with Sandy. A full moon.

And some of you people don't believe in Astrology.

R70

Think you'll find many of the worst storms coincide with full moon and or high tides. Great New England Hurricane of 1938 is but a case in point.

isn't this Physics (science) not astrology?

Shhh R72, we're keeping that a secret from R70.....

I just have a feeling this will be far from a nothingburger. And yes, I hate the term “nothingburger.” Maybe I’m just trying to pre-empt the dumbasses who will attempt to use it.

I heard it weakened a bit already.

Has it, R75? Well, it will get stronger before tomorrow because it’s anticipated to stall, helped along by the full moon. Pay attention.

You heard wrong. It is likely to weaken a bit as it gets closer to landfall, however, because it will be passing over colder water.

if you can leave, it is better to be safe than sorry. Not everyone can afford to evac, and this helps first responders.

Stay Safe!

Bring your mask and vaccination card (plastic bag it) too.

The rain and lightning have arrived.

These storms are almost always not as extreme as they’re predicted to be, but I for one would be happy if all of Manhattan were destroyed. The city is over, might as well clear it out.

[quote] if you can leave, it is better to be safe than sorry. Not everyone can afford to evac, and this helps first responders.

I assume you’re talking about Long Island. No one needs to even think about evacuating anywhere else.

Protect PETS too. Poor animals are scared. Please HELP them. Remember to have drinking water for them too, and their food.

If this storm blows away this constant damp and humid weather would be very happy.

Past week or so has been incredibly moist in NYC. Dewpoint temps between 65 and 72... Most uncomfortable...

Temps are usually in low 80's or even just 70's, but because is so humid no relief. Everyone has their air conditioners going 24/7 in effort to wring some of moisture out of indoor air. You walk past buildings and think it's raining but it is only all the water dripping or otherwise coming out of air conditioners.

More Henri Samuel.....

Just all kinds of chic......

R82, the humidity has been fucking unbearable. I drip with sweat when I’m outside and when I’m standing on the subway platform which is a fucking sauna these days (when is it not, though?). My skin is constantly greasy and my face is a mess from wearing my stupid Covid mask. Last night I felt like I couldn’t breathe outside while walking my dog (sans mask).

It's the same in Montreal R82. Fucking unbearable right now. Stepping outdoors feels like stepping into a sauna.

I wonder if the storm will wash away the beaches on the Hamptons, I sure hope so!

Jinx R84! ("fucking unbearable") And yes, I am greasy-feeling within about 45 seconds of being out of the chilled bliss of AC.

I'm not sure who that is R83 but that's a red shorthaired dachshund on his lap so 'perfect taste' confirmed. They are the most delightful of creatures.

I have an appointment at Tiffany's, want to purchase a new string of pearls.

Oh good lord I missed the black and tan dachshund! They, too, are delightful!

Raining in NYC

After 50 years, the only thing I miss about North Carolina is the moderate humidity for the bulk of the year, despite the occasional temperature extremes. Manhattan goes from being cold and damp in the winter to hot and humid in the summer with a few nice days in the fall.

It's funny how some of you are hoping for the Hamptons if not entire Long Island coastline to be destroyed by storm Henri, when Senator Chuck Schumer who represents area has been pushing back against FEMA flood insurance changes.

It’s going to hit hard . Don’t underestimate the times we are living in

Just as long as the damn lights don’t go out.

This is Providence after the 1938 hurricane. The ocean washed into Narraganset Bay and right into the city.

Providence now has a hurricane barrier where the river leaves downtown.

The humidity was so bad yesterday I saw a man wearing a shirt, tie and dress pants walk into a fountain and stand under its cascade, getting completely soaked. He was sexy as hell. If not for my next appointment, I might have joined him.

where was this?

Long Island has a lot of deplorables, when I was there a few weeks ago, I saw a truck drive by with giant flags that said "Fuck Biden"

Good luck, everyone. Sending good thoughts from New Orleans. It's a Cat 1, and you tend not to lose power often since the lines are underground. I lived in NYC for 15 years and only lost power during the 2004 blackout. Just treat it like a blizzard and buy up all the booze, snacks, drugs, and cigarettes you need for the next 24-48 hours, and you'll be ok.

The media is ramping this up because they loved those sweet Sandy ratings. The same thing happens here any time something is stirring in the Gulf because they want those Katrina ratings too. But if Jim Cantore shows up, RUN!

There was one flash of lightning here in NYC a half hour ago which was like a bomb going off.

If Jim Cantore shows up, I will have a life jacket ready for him.

R98: Sutherland on summer in the City, from Dancer in the Dance:

"Oh, my dear, there is no other time, no other time at all but now, when the city is overripe, like a fruit about to drop in your lap, and all the young stockbrokers’ underwear is damp! My dear!"

The White Mountain National Forest hiking trails were decimated by flooding after Tropical Storm Irene (formerly a hurricane) in 2011. It took years to reopen a lot of it. I hope Henri is nothing like that, I'm getting too old for trail work.

Is it down pouring on “a night of 1000 hasbeens“?

R103 damn Cantore looks 75.

I think we’re in for a wild ride.

R106, concert ended early because of lightning.

[quote] concert ended early because of lightning.

Right in the middle of a Barry Manilow performance.

Remember years ago when Diana Ross had to perform in an approaching storm?

Good god, Barry sounds more like Wayne Newton nowadays.

R100, was it perchance driven by this now vindicated charmer from nearby Jersey?

Looks like it’s pouring in Central Park.

That scene in NYC looks kind apocalyptic. Has anyone spotted Tom Cruise?

We had thunder, lightning and heavy rain in Chelsea for awhile earlier but for now it's settled into a boring drizzle.

Here comes that rainy day felling again ☔️

"If Jim Cantore shows up, I will have a life jacket ready for him."

I will be pre-lubed.

R45 you’ve got to be kidding. Why is it now all major cities have to have a big Ferris wheel? That is one of the most asinine things.

[quote] [R45] you’ve got to be kidding. Why is it now all major cities have to have a big Ferris wheel? That is one of the most asinine things.

Especially in the middle of Times Square one of the most crowded places on Earth.

It's pouring in Manhattan.

Watching the 11pm news here in NYC. Storm is no longer going to the west but back towards the east end of LI and up through Connecticut. They had lots of footage of gays evacuating The Pines, LOL.

Looks like Long Island will get the brunt of it- 5 ft. surges. Dang, what about people with beach houses?

And Boston may get some powerful wind and prodigious rainfall.

Then on to Great Britain? Like Europe needs any more flooding...

Brooklyn here. Just received an Emergency Alert for a flash flood warning in effect until 1:15 am.

Surprising as I am not near the water.

R122 - I just got one here in NE NJ as well, but the warning is until 2.

Massive flooding in subway stations, of course.

Lots of rats drowning tonight. Yee haw.

Daddy…

It's also okay to go elsewhere. Get out, especially if you have animals or children. Also, it is very helpful. Don't let people tell you not too.

Sustained winds of 140 mile an hour, that's scary.

Please Be safe everyone? Take care of your pets. Have everything for them ready to go.

Hurricane Henri already flooding NYC streets, subways

Brooklyn getting hit hard as well as Newark

Stay safe everyone.

Please take care of animals, and of course children, elderly disabled.

Climate Change is Real. We have to get through this TOGETHER and United.

R129

Nothing really new nor unexpected. Subways and certain areas of city flood all the time when large amounts of rain fall within a short period of time. About a month ago it was storm Elsa that caused similiar issues.

FDR Drive, Gowanus Expressway and other roads or major highways in city are prone to flash flooding, this again just from moderate to heavy rainfall. As noted in post above large areas of lower Manhattan and elsewhere are and have been prone to flooding due to heavy rains for decades if not hundred or so years. Issue is now thanks to climate change or whatever you want to believe storms that drop huge amounts of water are becoming more frequent.

As for the subways in addition to being underground many of the tunnels must cope with water from long covered over bodies of water (creeks, brooks, ponds....).

Residents of Upper West Side who take the 8th Avenue subways can tell you there is a constant cascade of water coming down into tunnels from sources above. MTA built various things that carry and direct this water into drains. Many owners of row houses or large apartment buildings must cope with fact their building's foundations are built through or near enough under ground bodies of water.

Canal street is called just that because there once was a canal that ran from east to north rivers across lower Manhattan. It was long ago filled in/covered over to make a street.

Brooklyn is underwater

I thought the bitch wasn’t due till tomorrow?

R92- You forgot to mention that the spring- April and May in NYC are BEAUTIFUL

This could be a serious disaster

I see New York City is flooding and it’s just the outer bands hitting.

I’m in Brooklyn and it seems like the rain has stopped

Looks like it’s going more East than expected. Basically, we’re gonna have heavy rain all day. Ok.

Eastern Long Island looks like will get pretty bad, though.

[quote]They had lots of footage of gays evacuating The Pines, LOL.

Saving grace is this mess is happening now instead of next weekend (Labor Day).

Is next weekend Labor Day? In August?

Labor Day is September 6, which is two weekends away.

Despite the evacuation of Fire Island the party must go on!

It’s been downgraded to a tropical storm, hopefully the cold water will continue to eat away at its strength.

Remember, if you live in a low lying area, the safest place for a little one is always downstairs in the basement.

Thanks, Pats!

I'm in Westchester County and we've had very little rain. Kind of disappointing, actually.

R148- I went into the city last night and the FDR was totally flooding. It was a BIG mistake for me to go out at all. By 1 am parts of Manhattan had 4.7 inches of rain! I'm in Westchester too. When I got home about 1 am my rain meter showed less than a third of an inch- BIZARRE.

[R92]- You forgot to mention that the spring- April and May in NYC are BEAUTIFUL

No, they really aren't r135. Spring in the Carolinas starts slowly in March and builds warmly to beautiful Aprils and Mays. There's no real Spring in New York. At some point in late May it goes from chilly and damp to hot and humid. New York is at its best in September and October. Sometimes the sky is so blue those day.

^ days.

[quote] Sustained winds of 140 mile an hour, that's scary.

Dafuq you hear this?

It has been downgraded to a tropical storm and is passing well to the east of Montauk at the eastern end of LI. Lots of winds and rain and flooding but we've been dealing with that all summer. Local news have obviously spent a lot on this and are still reporting as if this is a big event. It's not. It's a nothingburger.

R153- I agree. I live just north of NYC. We had that storm in July I put my rain meter out before that storm. The next morning it showed 5.2 inches of rain. This storm won't give us much more than that.

Local news stations here in the city keep interrupting their programming for special updates from Gov. Cuomo, as if he and the storm are still relevant. What an ego.

I wonder if he's disappointed the thing drifted more seaward than inland. He could have gone out with a bang.

When does he go, anyway?

Lord, Cuomo is just droning on and on as if the storm is something and especially as if he is somebody. So much self directed word salad.

Cuomo is unbelievable for someone who will be gone in three days. His meds obviously need to be adjusted.

[quote] When does he go, anyway?

Monday night at midnight (technically Tuesday).

Oh please, only a little rain so far. Big fucking deal. I totally knew it.

Psst, it hasn’t hit yet.

The severe rain everyone is speaking about was from another storm system pre-Henri.

Heavy rain continues in NYC and won’t end until tomorrow night.

It’s only a tropical storm now with max sustained winds of 60mph, which is not anywhere near destructive.

Where are some you getting sustained winds of 140mph from?

Meh, so much hype about a bit of rain so far.

I'm a lifelong New Yorker and I'm unimpressed.

It is barely raining!!!! Where the fuck is the storm?!

Just walked by the Galaxy diner on 46th/Ninth and it’s a fucking petri dish for future Covid cases. Tourists from flyover states packed in there like sardines.

R165, you’re an idiot. There’s flooding. And outside my window in Hells Kitchen it’s raining consistently.

Galaxy Diner!

I'm so fucking old I remember when it opened in the mid 80's.

Gotta love Galaxy. Still (mostly) terrible food and indifferent service (or is it the other way around?), but indestructible.

The rain intensity comes and goes. Right now it's not even drizzling.

Don’t speak to soon yet. This thing is still looming over us. Philadelphia rain is on and off in pockets so.

The next thing coming is another heat wave next week. Hot and fucking humid.. Damn. I’m so sick of this heat.

We can all agree that there is some rain coming down but what is COMPLETELY absent is the WIND. NO WIND at all.

Right now the eye of the storm is in Connecticut and making a circular motion around the surrounding areas, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania before it most likely moves northward.

Hurricane Sandy was 4 times wider. Henri is a much more concentrated storm.

Lots of people here miss understand how Tropical storms work. The rain and winds are not constant with the exception of the outer eye walls, the rain and wind gusts come in waves as the storms bands sweep over which is why you may see it start and stop raining or gusts of wind that come and go. It in no way means it’s over.

It’s important to understand how storms work and not let your guard down. If you go out thinking the storm is over or not that strong you risk getting caught in a bad band of weather and that’s not fair to first responders who have to risk their lives to come rescue you.

The closer to the eye the more you feel the storms impact. Don’t venture out until this is over.

Well, these replies aged well. As I said at R79 and R80, these storms are almost never as scary as they’re hyped to be, and NYC was never in any real danger. It’s a regular boring, rainy Sunday afternoon here now. I was even able to get my dog out for a walk (and he hates rain), it’s so mild.

^ But someone posted videos of massive flooding NY. How is that not bad already?

R177, we had “massive flooding” last month, too. From a regular, run of the mill rainstorm. I guess you didn’t see those videos. Certain subway stops were totally flooded and morons were wading through the chest-deep water to get to the train platform.

[quote] If you go out thinking the storm is over or not that strong you risk getting caught in a bad band of weather and that’s not fair to first responders who have to risk their lives to come rescue you.

And don’t forget to triple mask and stay at least 12 feet away from all first responders—remember, even though you’re fully vaccinated, they might not be!

When God saw Colbert and Schumer dancing New York's fate was sealed

[quote] Psst, it hasn’t hit yet. The severe rain everyone is speaking about was from another storm system pre-Henri.

What the fuck are you talking about? It made landfall in Rhode Island this past hour. TROPICAL STORM HENRI (downgraded from Hurricane) did. Not another storm system.

Datalounge certainly is fearmonger-troll central, for a number of issues, I’ve noticed. What causes a person to be that way?

R178 oh ok then. As long as everyone is safe.

[quote] Brooklyn is underwater

Far-out, man. Guess they got all drained before I woke up. Any videos?

R179 I was just going to say something like that. These are the same people who are going to be self quarantining and triple masking forever.

Have fun guys!

Yes, some parts are flooded but those parts always flood during storms anyways!

This turned out to be a non-event. I’m going out to play golf.

[quote] Don’t speak to soon yet.

Oh, dear.

Eyeroll

[quote] What the fuck are you talking about? It made landfall in Rhode Island this past hour.

So you took a comment from two hours ago, discussing what happened 6-8 hours in New York before that and said it’s part of the storm because it just hit Rhode Island?

The storm has moved on! We are only getting a little rain, the thunderstorm last night was worse!

[quote] Psst, it hasn’t hit yet. The severe rain everyone is speaking about was from another storm system pre-Henri.

So when is Henri going to hit NYC then?

You want to save face, I get it.

National weather service has downgraded and lifted the warning for the NYC area.

So... back to normal.

You completely missed the point. Not surprising, though.

We were discussing the torrential rain from last night and the flooding in the city and Jersey and people were saying that was Henri and it’s now gone. That wasn’t and isn’t the case.

And NYC wasn’t supposed to see major effects of Henri. But you already knew that.

R193, you’re being a disingenuous cunt. But you knew that.

CNN has Chris Cuomo out reporting the weather! LOL.

With temps expected to stay in the 90s all week, imagine what the loss of electric power would feel like?

I’m just thrilled it brought Trevor Ault to Long Island!

Latest report there’s been 7 1/2 inches of rain in Brooklyn so far. Just a bit of rain.

7 1/2 inches?

Mmmmmmmm.

Call me!

It’s gone back to pounding rain here in midtown for the past half hour so all of you asswipes who tried to minimize its impact can go fuck yourselves.

It's sprinkling in Albany!

oh please, it's not pounding rain. it's raining...big fucking deal.

Last night was a storm, it was raining cats and dogs big time!

This is nothing.

R202- I'm near White Plains and it's been POURING nonstop for about 45 minutes.

Yes, it is, R202, it’s just as bad as last night right now. Liar.

R200, you’re clueless. I was outside last night when there was a stream of warm rain flowing down my street here in Brooklyn, and my skylight started leaking. That was a heavy rain, but there wasn’t any thunder or lightning by that point, and no wind.

This, now, is NOTHING. Nothing is leaking anymore. It’s literally a gentle rain outside, and it will continue through at least early tomorrow afternoon.

I realize you want people to be TERRIFIED, but it’s not going to work. You’re talking to New Yorkers who are experiencing the same rain as you, in the exact same instant. Are you mentally ill?

The National Weather Service is predicting up to two MORE inches of rain tonight, up to 3/4 of an inch tomorrow and up to 1/2 inch Monday night. So FASTEN YOUR SELBELT dl queens it's going to be a WET night.

Ladies, ladies, don't fight ... the rate of rainfall can differ from one block to the next.

Another flash flood warning just issued for NYC.

R205, go get a bag of Doritos and sit quietly in the corner. There you go. Good boy.

I'm sorry, but OP's map looks exactly like a uterus on the verge of menstruation as shown in the sex-ed videos we used to see in school.

[quote] [R205], go get a bag of Doritos and sit quietly in the corner. There you go. Good boy.

I’d have to leave the house to get the Doritos and I am NOT going to do that in the middle of this deadly hurricane. Don’t you dare try to minimize its impact.

[quote] ...STORM SURGE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT... ...TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS CANCELLED...

From weather.com ^^

High winds were predicted but so far there hasn't been any, plenty of rain yes.

I pulled my potted plants inside from my terrace, just put them outside now so they can get some rain water.

I used to have a begonia I named Beginthe.

You are so gay.

Yes, r218...I am.

And I love ya for it!

Here we go. The hurricane was over-hyped by the media (as they always do for ratings) and wasn't as big as expected. So when the next genuinely big one hits everyone will ignore the warnings and get caught flatfooted.

[quote] and wasn't as big as expected.

Been there, honey.

So far in Manhattan Sunday has just been a dreary, cloudy, wet, cool and damp day. Rain is off and on, sometimes heavy, others light..

Turned off AC because it was just hopeless. It's 70F outside which is rather cool, but humidity is around 93%. In order to get any use out of AC had to turn thermostat down to 70F which made the place feel cold and clammy.

R223 umm what temp do you normally keep the AC?

Either 74F or maybe 73F, but that isn't entire story.

Air conditioners will attempt to keep about a twenty degree difference between indoor and outdoor air (varies by thermostat setting). When outdoor temps start dropping into low 70's and certainly going down to 60's it becomes very difficult for AC's condenser coils to work. Many makers will state in owners manual the lowest outdoor temp one is supposed to use said AC.

Some window or whole house air conditioners have built in dehumidifier systems. Instead of using the condenser to cool air and wring moisture out, a heating system comes on and dries out air instead. Some heating pump systems can work this way as well.

the hurricane watch system updates their warnings. If you live in a Hurricane Zone, you should listen to these warnings. It allows for people to prepare and be forewarned. It's a great thing to monitor hurricanes with accurate measurements.

I am so sick of the republican party lying about what science is and does for us.

ENOUGH already.

Amen, R226!

Is there an updated NYC death toll available for this dastardly storm?

Between slow DL traffic and the overhyped Henri event, there were reports that 5 queens died of boredom in Hell's Kitchen and parts of the UWS today, R227.

I’m outside now, in Brooklyn, and the clouds in the sky are parting and I can actually see some stars. This must just be the eye of the deadly Hurricane Henri. I’ll post again tomorrow IF I SURVIVE THE NIGHT, to find out what the latest death toll is.

R228, how does that compare to the normal death rate for that cause in that population?

It rained. Wow.

Your school age uterine trauma is duly noted.

Uh oh. Has anyone heard from r229?

Jeez, I hope he’s alright.

RIP, r229.

I just looked at the weather forecast at the National Weather service site- it says A WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.

So, it aint over yet

They said it would rain all day today (Monday) but here in Chelsea the sun is out at a few minutes past 11:00.

The sun is trying to come out in the West Village. It’s still a bit hazy, but not as dark as it was at 8:00 am.

Well, that just might be your Sunny 😎 Ass Disposition

I was so unhinged by the trauma of the weekend that I ate carbs. Very upsetting.

Oh, sure, blame me, YOU FAT WHORE!

I love how when the dog hears the applause his tail starts wagging.

Unbelievable damage!

[quote] So, it aint over yet

How much more can we TAKE?! We’re already dead.

Keep gloating and fuckin with me, y’all.

Go on. Keep it up.

R242, if I posted that on FB someone among my FB friends who then chide me because they heard someone in the Hamptons suffered serious damage or some shit. Always some Puritan to harsh your vibe!

“How could you be so devil may care? Why, I heard someone in Southampton got kiltded!”

Death toll update please. The rain is completely gone but it remains VERY humid at 9pm, so THIS AIN’T OVER YET. There’s enough moisture in the air for Henri to spring back to life and kill again.

I'm just north of NYC. The total rainfall in my rain meter from Saturday night until Monday afternoon was 5.85 inches.

Is 5.85 inches a lot? I would never be satisfied with a mesley 5.85 inches!

Don’t you DARE minimize it, R249. Several first responders came close to DYING because people went out in the rain and almost got stuck and almost had to call first responders (but didn’t) to come save their ill-prepared asses.

And even after all THAT happened*, it was STILL sprinkling this afternoon! Dozens more nearly died.

The tropical storm we had in July my rain meter showed 5.2 inches total but that was in only 17 hours not the 42 hours it took to rain 5.85 inches. Julys storm was more impressive.

This cable late night host threw what we boys like to call a ‘gay tantrum’ when he was forced to evacuate Fire Island Saturday because of Hurricane Henri. He told us he brought his sons nanny out to the island for his two week vacation so he could indulge in scheduled and impromptu hook ups like he did on vacay before he became a dad.

“Cable late night host”?

That whole paragraph is so poorly written, and no one even died there like we did in the City.

It was interesting how long it swirled over NYC and Long Island on the radar. If it had been the size of Sandy, it would have been catastrophic. Y'all dodged a bullet.

I survived. I live!

Henri can blow me!

With a what now?

Not even Hurricane Henri could afford to go to the Hamptons this year.

Sad.

So a music concert got rained out. Pussies.

Maybe, Florida, but at least no buildings fell.

We can hear you.

[quote]Don’t you DARE minimize it, [R249].

Here's a little clue to DL humor, r250. R249 was pretending the amount of rain was a penis size, and under 6 inches could not possibly fill the gaping void that is his stretched and flappy rectum. Get it?

Tropical Storm Elsa in July was much worse (but still not a big deal) than Henri. We may have had more rain this time but no wind. We got lucky, it could have been catastrophic.

Bless your heart, r262.

I mean, really, just, well just bless it, hun.

[quote] It was interesting how long it swirled over NYC and Long Island on the radar. If it had been the size of Sandy, it would have been catastrophic. Y'all dodged a bullet.

Yeah, every now and then we get those storm systems that swirl over NYC for a few days. It rains… for several days. Pretty sure it happens countrywide—worldwide, even—during warm rainy weather seasons.

We should not be complaining. We've had a HUGE amount of rain in July and August in the NYC metropolitan area while the West is not only burning up but is experiencing a SEVERE drought, even Minnesota is dealing with wildfires and severe drought.

Nah, R266. Most of the West should burn. I mean that literally. But real estate developers keep burning in fire zones. The problem in the West is not the fires. The problem is the huge number of people who moved into fire zones and refuse to leave.

In a pissing match with Mother Nature, she wins. She always wins.

[quote] even Minnesota is dealing with wildfires and severe drought.

Really?

Oh, no!

You know what happens when there’s a drought. Let me just put it this way, everyone remains dry.
