Aug 28, 2011
Irene made landfall locally as a tropical storm around 900 am EDT August 28, 2011 over New York City. Irene then moved across Southeast New York and Western Connecticut before dissipating over Northern New England near the Canadian Border later that evening. Copious amounts of tropical moisture within the storm produced extended periods of heavy rainfall, which resulted in widespread moderate to major flooding across the area.
