Flooded roads, trees down, blackout...

Love the overhead shots of the heavy equipment working. Don't you hate how they always seem to put power lines in right where you need to fly? :confused:

Ah yes, the basements, many got flooded... Some people say that this storm was as bad as Hurricane Irene...
 
I've now been able to come up with Indian Lake water volume stats, per USGS Water Data for New York:

Indian Lake topped out at 43.13 billion gallons on 11/02/2019. Back in late April 2011, it hit just shy of the all-time record 43.20 b.g. Later that same year, IL again came close, at ~43.08 b.g., in the wake of Hurricane Irene on 09/11/2011. Those numbers gain meaning in light of the 2003-2019 median of just under 43 b.g.

Contrast all that against the already mentioned 43.20 b.g. highest-ever since 1900, notched in March 1913. That record high was nearly 29x the February 1948 all-time low of a mere 1.5 B.g.

My personal guess, in light of the aforegoing, is that we've now come off the peak of a roughly 100-year hydrological cycle. If so, together with circadian, diurnal, lunar, menstrual, solar, tidal and other cycles, it again underscores that, better than anything else, CYCLICALITY defines how Nature works. .
