    Not in my experience. My grass is water logged but that's about it.

    Hey that's a beautiful area you'll love it. I've had a house in that region for years.

    a good test for their risk reduction system too. Looks like surrounding areas really got it bad though. I heard there was a 170 mph gust somewhere? I remember when it used to be a decade between Cat 4/5 landfalls. Now this is the second one in consecutive years ugh.

    Wasn't a direct hit though. I wonder whats a worst case scenario for them- a storm passing by just to their east and getting surge from the lake, or having the eye pass right over them or just to their west? This time it was about 30 miles to their west.

    at this rate all outdoor sports played in this area will need retractable roofs (looking at the Yankees and Mets.)

    I was wondering if we could ever have a snowy blizzard here with temps at or below 0. The closest to that which I remember happened in January 2004 with anywhere from 40:1 to 80:1 ratios. I think we were in the single digits in that storm, with about 10 inches of snow. The second big snowstorm that season, after the great December 2003 two day blizzard.

    35 mph TD as it passes over us and then strengthens back to a 40 mph TS over the Atlantic?

    Our best hope is for most of this to stay NW of the area

    Hey I agree with you, more terminology merely creates more confusion and it then becomes a distinction without a difference.

    Bulls eye of 3-5" headed right for our region
  11. LibertyBell
    Yep, isn't this something that is covered on the national level and local NWS picks it up when we are within 48 hours of the event?
  12. LibertyBell
    Yep, but there was a big storm in Feb 1979 that we were on the edge of the heavier totals. That was a very cold month wasn't it? Imagine if it was wet like January was.....

    Walt, is there an actual thing called a "tropical" tornado? I hear it mentioned often on the weather channel and I just though it's a term they made up just like "superstorm" when they called Sandy that. I found this page: https://www.weather.gov/cae/tropicaltornadoes.html However in the graphs below the word "tropical" is in quotes, making me think that it's just a slang terminology and there is no official definition for "tropical" tornado, just like there isn't for a "superstorm."

    what if it transitions to ET?
  15. LibertyBell
    Why is it that these I storms always seem to be so noteworthy. I named storms are the most retired (11).

    But that could be rain Did 1983 have that kind of rainfall in the winter? At least the cold air was timed just right with the moisture for the big one in February.
  17. LibertyBell
    I think they do that in all basins. But then there is a level above that which is everything will be destroyed, get the hell out of there. Basically nuclear bomb level kind of damage.
  18. LibertyBell
    Looks like 2" is the base minimum for this
  19. LibertyBell
    Walt, anything 1" or more should be considered a major event, it's a lot of rain and the ground just can't hold any more.
  20. LibertyBell
    I dont consider 2" a moderate event, that's a lot of rain
  21. LibertyBell
    question is when will NYC break 20" in a month or even 24"
  22. LibertyBell
    Don, why don't we categorize these 150 mph + storms as Super Hurricanes like they call them Super Typhoons in the Pacific? I feel like that adds more attention and significance to them as well as 150 mph being a special benchmark (2x minimal 75 mph hurricane threshold, or 4x stronger using the square law). That said this will likely become a Cat 5 at landfall just like Andrew and Michael were, just look at the warmth of the waters there. Amazing on the 16 year anniversary of Katrina. I still think these truly special high end storms should get the moniker of "Super"

    that PRE has me worried, I think we saw the same thing in July when all hell broke loose even before the remnants got here. Our subways were flooded, it was a nightmare.
  24. LibertyBell
    we're getting those high totals because of the high dew points....just look at what happened last night and today
  25. LibertyBell
    60 mph winds and 6 inches of rain for the south shore of Long Island. Thats horrible
