Downtown Manhattan. Rainwater alone is starting to cause minor flooding south of the WTC near Battery Park. Bad news if theres a storm surge as well.

Any reports of power outages in Manhattan? If that's the case I'm going to be screwed. Don't have any candles. I found a dead stock package of flashlight with batteries in my crib which was purchased from the +@#+%%@ chain store BRADLEES. If you are aware, that store has been gone for about 10 years now....the look on my face when I saw that Bradlees price tag.......

Fulton st, downtown Manhattan. �Few hours ago. �Streets were few inches deep with water. The tall buildings all around stopped the rain a little as well, was much stronger on the edge of the island

In CT here, wind and rain like crazy. Bunch of big trees around my house, praying Irene doesn't bring them down. Can't sleep at this point, hoping if I stay up long enough now I will end up passing out and missing the worst of it.
Stay safe fam

I guess I have been lucky so far. It just rained a little hard but have seen a lot worse in my area. This honestly didn't even feel like a hurricane. Oh well I'm happy it wasn't worse. I'm in Astoria so hopefully it remains like this until noon. Be safe everyone.

Honestly, the storm in my area was a bust.
I know its still the beginning of the worst, but I cant even hear the wind anymore. It doesnt even look too too bad on TV. Just a few floods here and there, and some heavy rain and wind. Not as serious as everyone thought it would be. None of my friends spread throughout the 5 boroughs have lost their power or anything. A few downed trees. Flooding in LI is pretty serious though.
Yes, better safe than sorry. But still, overhyped to the max.

My power went out when it was LIGHT rain, but came back during the more "intense" part lol. I know many people who literally live 4-5 minutes away who don't have any power so I don't think the million is overly-exaggerated. Plus, considering how long it usually takes dominion power to repair service, I believe it.
btw, like others have mentioned, I was a little disappointed about the storm. There was so much hype,but in the end, we've had rain showers more intense that what we got (Tysons Corner/Oakton) area.
