Here in Western Long Island Sound the storm is beginning to break up.
There is no longer a visible eye on the radar and rotation seems to be
slowing down as well. *NHC is now calling it a tropical storm. *We had
heavy rain and gusts to 40 kts all through the night but both are now
easing up. *Based on the radar it looks like the rain will stop within
the hour. * Waves on Long Island Sound are still very gnarly, close to
7 footers during the night and still very rough. * The web cam at a
local yacht club shows water almost at the top of the sea wall and
there's still another 2 hours until high tide. *Wave heights south of
Block Island, where we were last week, are reported at 23 feet but
they should start backing down soon.
