Power crews and tree crews making slow progress still. On my way out of my hood this morning:

Much of my immediate neighborhood still has no power and some roads are still blocked off. I drove to the Walt Whitman mall today and back and there was almost no damage west of exit 42 on the NSP. Saw some damage just east of the mall but mainly small branches etc. Commack is still a war zone. I’m still convinced we gusted to around 70

Haha I care less about wind

that area of East Northport got slammed as well. Interesting drive to work today, many side streets still blocked off by trees and powerlines. I think our area saw localized gusts at or close to 70. Ive been through, Sandy, Irene, other storms with winds to 60, and this was on par with the worst of em. You dont see 100 foot oak trees snap at the trunk in 50 mph winds. A small tree can be uprooted, but not 4 foot in diameter tree trunks in health trees. The siding ripped from houses, nowhere near trees, indicates winds over 60. That initial burst of winds had immense power like nothing i have ever seen before, and we get strong winds out here very often. Also, you cant take WU wind meters for shit. I have a Davis but the anenometer is 2 m off the ground and surrounded by trees and a fence.

Nws storm reports has some gusts from mesonet and wxflow over 70, a bunch over 60. But there are no official sites within path of cell. Closest was ISP gusted to 54. Some of the concentrated damage in my area indicated winds over 60. Honestly worse than anything I saw in Sandy

weather station is horrible getting wind, recorded a gust to 18 lol. Winds must have been over 60, trees that survived Sandy were crushed. That backyard video is from a tightly enclosed space surrounded by fences and houses, so getting that much wind is absurd. Based on local wind reports, my personal experience, etc i would estimate top wind gust came in around 70 mph, maybe a bit higher on some blocks. FRG recorded 51 gust and ISP 54, neither of which took a hit from the main cell. There were also gusts over 70 recorded along CT coast, and north shore LI, so around 70 seems fair. Also saw some siding ripped off of houses, which probably wouldnt happen with winds under 60

Made 2 Youtube videos from my security cameras. Action starts around 14:21:30, ramps up thereafter. Can see the trees come down in the backyward shot.

the storms actually almost dropped north to south, only a slight eastward component, especially as they strengthened right after coming ashore. i thought we would get grazed to the east but the storms almost made a right turn south

yea hail was slamming against our windows too. Half of commack is still without power, and 60% of brentwood. This is one for the books.

Across the sound in suffolk we got slammed. worst storm in decades in this area of western suffolk. good call for an active day

there he is. storm raked western suffolk north to south. remarkable.

quite the drive around commack. tons of damage, some structural siding ripped off, etc. Winds to about 75-80 seem right

My neighbor has been here 25 years says worst he has ever seen. All main roads around town closed. Northern state is closed

Chaos here

The town is a complete mess. Unreal

Core hit us. Lost two trees. Insane. Still blowing

Just missed storms here again. Gust front had winds of 35 and dropped temps from 85 to 75, bouncing up again though to 77

84/64. Line of storms moving South in Ct looks to clip city east. Maybe just a quick hit and then salvage the day

We had some storms earlier in the spring. Maybe you missed those?

Guarantee that tomorrow, when I’m hosting 15 people, we’ll get the rains lol

Montauk getting clobbered now. One of those frustrating days. When the east end gets nailed and I get nothing I consider that a real kick in the nuts. Couldn’t buy a drop today, storms all around.

Definitely in streaks. It’s incredible that storms hit the exact same areas twice, weather is crazy

Northeast part of the area was the loser. Storms all around elsewhere

Not often southern Nassau and Suffolk cash in on storms when the north shore is mainly dry. Southwest Suffolk been slammed twice today. Not even a sprinkle up here. I do hear thunder in the distance though, as I have all day

Seeing the planes circling here too. Looks like north shore Suffolk is the big loser today. Congrats everyone else. Just put the sprinklers on lol
