Default it was wet

I was out pre-running the rally for the 20th and we didnt really hit much water but stamford was the worst. Downtown I heard was all underwater.


No issue at my house though.

Default I left work (in Purchase, NY) at 5:30. Gave up getting home at 7:45...

I live off Cove Rd and EVERY road to my neighborhood was totally underwater. I had a few near stalls getting though some majorly flooded intersections and finally just parked and walked to Brickhouse in Bedford St.

Left at 9:45 and the only way I could get home was to get on 95 at exit 6, sit in traffic to exit 9, and then back track to my house.

5 hours door-to-door.

Amazingly, my basement was only a little wet.

Default sorry to hear that

I plowed thru most of it on the merrit and only had a few deep spots to traverse.


this was in bumper to bumper traffic too.


50 miles in 1:50 (usually 50 minutes)
