Rain falls in Brooklyn
Permalink | October 17th, 2005And on the Seventh Day, It Rained More
In three days in New York, Bill Morris of Yorba Linda, Calif., has been everything that New Yorkers have been: drenched, doused, splashed on, dripped on, kind of dejected, kind of astonished. Can it really rain this much?
As Mr. Morris has discovered, it can. As Mr. Morris has also discovered, the wettest October in history, with seven straight days with at least 0.01 inch of measurable precipitation, is its own twist on a New York slogan: All rain, all the time.
It has been slip-sliding misery out there. The storm that parked itself over the metropolitan region may have been nastier to New Jersey and Long Island, submerging streets and flooding basements and blowing down trees, but it left the city a soggy, frustrated mess.
