It has not kept pace with the population growth on Long Island. Besides, where's your sense of nostalgia?

Some of the comments on that blog are fun reading. Thanks for posting it.
Kings County is better known as Brooklyn....Canarsie, Crown Heights are in Brooklyn, the rest are in Nassau County, on Long Island.
Looking out at my vegetable garden, it’s a mess. My tomato plants fell over even though they were staked, way too much water in a relatively short period of time. The wheelbarrow was empty yesterday, it's now full to the rim.

You had a long commute today, but on the positive side you joined FR today, so it balances out:) Welcome!
It was really nasty here in CT, too. The underpass under the metro north/amtrak line was flooded out. Water in my cellar, too.
Kings Is Brooklyn
NY is Manhattan
Richmond is Statan Island
Nassau and Suffolk are Long Island and not the city
thank you, Ive been reading here for several years now

We have this type of weather numerous times a year in spring and early summer and it doesn’t cause everthing to come to a screeching halt. I guess there are advantages to living out in the sticks. ;-)
I experienced the NYC train line to Hoboken being shutdown due to power outages in Nov. 2005. That wasn’t fun either, being crammed together with everyone else for an hour or so. Made me REAL appreciative of my wide-open spaces. Hope all goes safe for you guys today. Hang in there.
I don’t know which counties are what in New York City.
Kings, Queens, Richmond, Manhattan, Bronx.

And folks stuck inside subway cars ... ugh! Love NYC but don't miss the commute.
I just finished reading “Storm Warming: The Story of a Killer Tornado” by Nancy Mathis. It had a lot about Ted Fujita and his theory of micro-bursts and down drafts, which were not readily accepted by meteorologists. It took a while to convince them. Terrific book!
I’ll have to check out the book. The Amazon.com reviews pump it up as a great read too. Thanks.
Thanks for that update jer33 3.
ok so i searched on google to find out more info on what happend this morning and found this thread, and i felt like i should comment, i live in Bay ridge, when i woke up this morning i looked outside and lef erikson park was totally destroyed, down trees, ect. and some one told me a torando was on the ground this morning, i have yet to head over to what i have been told was the more heavely hit areas over on 2nd ave, but the damage, is concestant with tornadic type weather, now i may not be a meteroligist, but i just moved out here at the begining of the summer, from Kansas, and i have seen/experienced my fare share of Tornados, i would even venture to say that i am an amature storm chaser. I chased the first ever EF5 tornado ever recorded, it was 1.5 miles wide,but back to the point there is signifigent damage, and very well could have been down burst, but it was severe weather none the least, so i dont blame MTA for the problems this morning. so enough of my ramblings, but the only scary part about this morning was, no warnings at all, i slept through it, and that is scary, the reason so little people die form tornados in KS is because there is warings, people know if the sirens go off get to shelter. well this is my 2 cents, and i appoligize for i have horrid spelling
