Yeah, but according to him because the Sabal palm is more cold hardy here it makes it look ugly. When in reality cidp are extremely cold hardy, one guy posted pictures of them surviving in El paso Texas after Temps dropped into the single digits. I won't lie though cidp have a much more massive look and are more recognizeable.
Nice recovery on your flooded Tomatoes. Wow! I don't think mine would never recover like that after that point.. I used to grow Romas, don't like them. Not enough to make sauce and not tasty enough for Sandwiches. You're gonna get a ripe one before me! lol
The tomatoes I posted previously weren't affected. Here are some pics of the ones in the lower spot that flooded. Most of them recovered but I had to pull up one. They still have some yellow leaves and brown spots, but overall they did better than I was expecting.
I picked a couple of ripe tomatoes the past few days!
Eastern LI looked like it got hit pretty hard. I was also under the severe t-storm warning but I only ended up with 0.07". Grass is looking sad.
The 1/4" helped but obviously wasn't enough. Ground gobbled it up then evaporated as we hit upper 80s today. Luckily 70s tomorrow then Rain Thursday so grass wont get progressively brown next few days

Here's a 4 hr radar loop from this morning to see where the rains and heavy downpours were.(reds)
Notice 2 things.
1. The Severe warned middle of the night storm south of Albany crossed into Southwest MA, weakened after the hills, and went just south of you. Just missing Hartford (Only 0.04" there!)
2. In SouthWest CT the 2 small tiny localized cells that popped up right over me which gave me the downpours and vivid lightning.

Check it out. 24hr Rain total Sunday 8am to Monday 8am. I circled where more than 0.20" of rain fell.
One spot near you but as I pointed out in my last post here, you can draw a line from that 0.42" in NY all the way down to Rhode Island and see the way the storms/rain moved. Only embedded thunderstorms along that line which my circles show well.
Then notice down here... the Thunderstorm literally developed right over me then headed to Eastern Long Island
Isn't it interesting no heavy rain fell in Southern NY and NYC like you mentioned, and missed the major airports like Hartford and Bridgeport and Islip? Funny. Scattered torrential downpours and thunderstorms

Yea, interesting how it skipped southern NY, if you looked at only the beginning of your radar loop, it would look like both would get hit.
I wasn't in Massachusetts, I was in NYC at the time. Earlier in the day, Long Island. Northport, almost directly across the south from your town in Fairfield County.
Cute harbor
Spoiler
Lots of fancy-looking 19th century homes along the waterfront. Well, the one on the right appears to be an apartment building
Nice gardens:
Local hill. Connecticut is off to the horizon
Now on to NYC. The usual jammed traffic on the BQE; this highway has a 40 mph, but reaching it is rare. I exited off and drove on local roads, dunno if it was faster
Walked in and around downtown Brooklyn. Street crowded with pedestrians but not with cars:

Got to the East River
Tiny park squeezed in
by the East River. The BQE is underneath.
on the other side. Nice back for city homes but too public.
I am now in Bucharest, Romania. Just for fun, I had not been to Romania before. it is really hot here- just examined, today´s high was 35.4c. Day time temperatures when pictures were made were 33-35c.
On the horizon the most famous building here, that is of course the famous Nicolae Ceausescu palace.
In the old town:
