Take a look at this image:
Now take a close look at the color scale on the right side of the image. Here in Mineola Chaminade's weather station recorded over 6 inches of rain yesterday. Not quite the almost 11 in Lido Beach or 9 in Bellmore.
Why so much rain you might be asking? Well you might have noticed the cloud structure yesterday, almost tropical-like for those of you who have seen a tropical system. While this current storm is not tropical, it does have an enormous feed of both Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean moisture.
