Ida On Long Island: Town-By-Town Rainfall Totals

LONG ISLAND, NY — The remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped historic amounts of rain on parts of Long Island Wednesday night, causing devastating floods, power outages and even a mudslide.

Although New York City and the Hudson Valley were hit the hardest, parts of Long Island — especially on the North Shore — were also deluged with rain water. Rainfall rates of 3-4 inches per hour were measured at the height of the storm, the National Weather Service says.

The 9 inches of rain that fell in Glen Cove - the highest total on the island - is more than double the average amount of rainfall in an entire month in the area.

Central Park shattered its record for the most rain that fell in an hour, with 3.15 inches. It was the second time in 10 days the park saw its single-hour rainfall record broken. The first time was during tropical storm Henri.

Staten Island recorded 8.92 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

The rainfall prompted the National Weather Service to issue its first flash flood emergency in the metro area's history — a stark warning of "life threatening" conditions. At least nine people are known to have died in New York City from the flooding.
