Insurance does not cover all the damage:

"While #hurricanes and the recent Tropical Storm #Ophelia grab headlines due to the number of those impacted, smaller, more localized #storms are on the rise and are also causing significant damage where they land.

Tucker said the cost to clean up the trees in her yard alone was about $35,000, which her #HomeownersInsurance did not cover because the trees didn’t damage her house."

Why it rained so hard Friday: Ophelia returned to hit NYC with an Ida-level storm

Map of NYC titled Rainfall Totals from Ophelia's return to NYC. The legend is a color bar from pale green going through light cyan to medium blue to dark blue, with the lightest being 0 and the highest being 12. There are dots on the map to show the amount of rainfall from pale green in Staten Island, to dark blue at JFK airport and northern Queens.

NYers rn: “If you are [now suddenly] interested in buying [flood insurance] coverage through the national program, you may have to wait: A shutdown of the federal government, which could happen Sunday morning, could cause the program to run out of money until Congress reaches an agreement to keep the government funded.” #ophelia #uspol #shutdown #NYCFlooding https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/29/your-money/what-new-york-homeowners-and-renters-should-know-about-flood-insurance.html

More Ophelia Music on this rainy Monday:

"Boards on the window
Mail by the door
What would anybody leave so quickly for?
Ophelia
Hmm, where have you gone?
The old neighborhood
Just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became of
Ophelia
Hmm, tell me, what went wrong
Was it something that somebody said?
Mama, I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you
Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear
Like Ophelia
Please darken my door
Was it something that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you
They got your number
Scared and running
But I'm still waiting for the second coming
Of Ophelia
Hmm hm come back home
Hmm hmm"

Coles Street Pothole

There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
There with fantastic garlands did she come
Of crowflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples,
That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,
But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them.

It's amazing how large these tropical cyclones are. In Baltimore we were getting heavy rain and some wind from the outer bands of #ophelia before the center even made landfall in North Carolina.

Right now we have a break in the rain, but it's still pretty windy. The whole thing won't be past until this time tomorrow.

Tropical storm Ophelia knocked down our native redbud tree, Cercis canadensis. Really disappointing. 😔 I called a arborist to see if it can be reset.

It also looks like there is a large root that is rotten. Is that terminate damage? I poked around and didn’t see any.
