Thought we could use a thread for all the current storm related incidents.

Numerous Flash Flood and Tornado warnings in the area.

Staten Island:
*L87 has numerous cars requiring water rescue on the West Shore Expressway.
*Flooding and down trees all over SI. Most of the SI units operating.
*Richmond Engine assisting L87 on a box with flooding rescues
* Forest ave... Richmond engine has car flooded to the roof with occupants. Sq8, L168 responding


Manhattan:
*B9 has a flooded station
*flooding in subway system
*Multiple train evacuations

Queens:
* Box 4034 roof collapse 793 cypress Ave
* Multiple train evacuations

* Dispatchers doing a great job! Most units operating across most boroughs and they are maintaining control on the radio and unit assignments.

Best exchange of the night:
BD to B43: Is it still raining in Coney island?

B43: Negative. It stopped.

BD: Thank God

SI (as I’m sure all boroughs are) extremely busy so far as listed above. Much flooding of streets, up to 4-5’ I read.

My wife's friend near the mall sent video of cars with water up to the windows and running like a river.

SI definitely busy tonight. SI expressway flooded both directions (worse east bound) near south ave. Wouldn’t be surprised if Oceanic started taking up a few calls as well.

Anybody know if there was anything on the Verrazano? Upper level was closed and I thought I saw some activity on that level.

Believe the bridge was closed due to the high winds

New Orleans Fire Alarm regular power restored about eight hours ago. Upper 90's in NOLA today with no power or water. 911 overwhelmed now with heat stroke calls. Old folks are really taking a beating.

Any one catching the dispatch number for queens? Brooklyn is 214 one of the best

Is the NJ Task Force 1 still down south?

They were told to demobilize on Tuesday late morning /early afternoon. They had been staging in Alabama and proceeded immediately back to NJ. Not sure if they made it back before the storm hit us.
