The National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for the entire NYC area tonight.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall caused flooding of urban neighborhoods, highways, and underpasses, as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots. The water depth was too great to allow some cars to cross some streets safely.

These are two of the most awaited decisions the Court has made this session, whether a Constitutional right can be restricted, and why should some one have to pay a 3rd party to work in a particular job.

The weather appeared as if it was heaven sent for City Island's Blessing of The Fleet. This annual event was successfully organized by members of The Power Squadron.
City Islanders joined members of the American Legion, who saluted for 77 vessels, including, sail boats, yachts and kayaks, while clergy for the local houses of worship offered their blessings. St. Mary's Star of The Sea's Father Agustus blessed the vessel Geometry as it's occupants on board were seen simultaneously making the sign of the cross. Ironically, this could be the last year this Catholic church remains open on the Island.
