Storms move and track in odd ways. I live on (appropriately named) Long Island. It's roughly 120 miles long by about 23 miles wide at the widest point.
Sometimes we'll be getting rain all day, but in Suffolk county, east of us, they'll have bright sun all day long.
Like today, the east end of the island is getting slammed with high winds (50 MPH+). Here west of them we got rain and it's a bit breezy.
Weird.
