LaGuardia is actually more vulnerable than JFK, as it turns out.

One problem is that it will hit New York PRECISELY at high tide, which is 5 feet tacked on to the surge.

LaGuardia is under 3 feet of water in a “standard” Category 1; thats without a high tide, and doesn’t take into account the enormous size and slow movement of Irene.

Rainfall Reports from NC:

Wilmington: 6.47” - virtually continuous since Noon on Friday.
Southport: 11.85”

Also: here’s part of an NWS Drought report, dtd 18-Aug-2011.
This is for the New Bern/Morehead City area:

AS OF AUGUST 17TH...NEW BERN NC HAS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 17.86 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION DURING 2011...WHICH IS 16.04 INCHES BELOW THE NORMAL PRECIPITATION OF 33.90 INCHES.

Given the doppler rainfall estimate I just saw... they’re (technically) all caught up now.
