The duration of Sandy is what made it so historic. Consistent 50+ mph wind gusts for 24+ hours. The peak wind gusts were incredible but the winds were pounding the area for what seemed like forever. No storm in my lifetime has come close to matching Sandy from a wind standpoint. The sheer size of the storm was mindblowing.

Yeah, you were right. I was actually a little scared for my dog with the branches blowing around.

Just took a stroll through the neighborhood and was shocked by how many tree branches are down. I haven't seen this many branches littering the street since Sandy, nothing even close really.

I believe it. I live about 5 minutes from there and the wind is really intense. Going to take the dog out in a little while, that should be a fun ride.

Agreed. Wind is much more interesting IMO. I'd rather be on the east side of this storm from a weather enthusiast point of view.

Wind has gone from gusty to nuts here. There must have been a few 60+ mph gusts mixed in. Building shakers

There are still going to be wind impacts. It's pick your poison with this system, rain impact to the west vs. wind impact to the east.

That was some fierce ass wind here in Whitestone for a quick 10 minutes or so, torrential rain too and then it was gone just like that.

No way. NYC is going to see prolific totals. Outside of a brief lull, the rain has been torrential for a good 2 hours now with more to come.

Crushing rain in Whitestone, was just out walking my dog in a monsoon. Wind picking up too

Svr potential Monday July 6 2P-10P NY metro
kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Crazy. What's interesting is that there was no lightning before or after, just some distant thunder. That's why I got spooked, there was no build up. -

kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
I was just sitting outside enjoying the breeze and watching the clouds slowly build from the west and out of nowhere there was a CTG lightning strike nearby and an enormous BOOM that scared the living shit out of me. I've been out in storms before plenty of times but this legit spooked me. -
hailers-torrent tracks next two afternoons
kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
I've seen some beautiful cloud formations the last few days in Whitestone but no hits. Right now, towers building to the north, this morning was south. Yesterday was northwest. Everywhere but here thus far.- 117 replies

June 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
kat5hurricane replied to Rtd208's topic in New York City Metro
That was an intense 5 minute storm here in Whitestone. Torrential rain, vivid lightning and winds that must have gusted over 50 then 5 minutes later the sun was out in full force. A nice day here in Florida. -
The wind is the real story so far after a few torrential downpours earlier. Building shaking wind gusts here in Queens. The rain is run of the mill stuff.

I was just going to say that. The peak winds perhaps aren't quite as high but much more consistent than the much more hyped after Easter storm.

Saw flurries on my way back from food shopping. I almost forgot what snow looked like and was wondering what those little white dots coming from the sky were.
