Also in Maryland, we had 6.4" in 36 hours at my house; about 6 weeks worth of rain under "normal" circumstances. Not that this year has been normal (dry!). If I remember properly, this brings us up to about where we should have been for rainfall-to-date.

We lucked out; not much wind, and while the power sagged enough to trigger UPSs a few times, the lights never actually went off. Even though we could hear trees arcing against power-lines and the odd transformer exploding...

There was a beautiful picture in the Washington Post in Monday's paper showing, was it Nag's Head? The sea-foam being blown to look like a pretty significant blizzard!

But yeah, New York sounds brutal.
