  1. you didnt have any damage from the wind or lost your power with Sandy? No power here for 25 hours from right when it made landfall at 6 pm to 7 pm the next evening
  2. Not a hurricane at landfall but I would put it in the close call category because it was right up until about 3 hours before landfall- so it goes in with Bob which missed us just a little to the east, both were Cat 2s too.
  3. haven't most of our Cat 3s been overturned with new research? We've actually had far fewer strong hurricanes get this far north than we did in the 30s-60s period. As a matter of fact we had at least one hurricane make landfall here every decade from the 30s through the 80s, but none since then. Even if you allow for Bob barely missing us in 1991, that still means that since 1991 no hurricane has made landfall in the northeast. Like, anywhere in the northeast.....whats going on?
  4. What would happen if a Cat 2 Hurricane like Sandy was before it transitioned took a track like that and stalled out (or even worse, a track over Central Long Island and stalled out?)
  5. that was training storms I believe we got 10" in southwest Nassau too! Do you have JFK totals for that storm?
  6. Stars are out now! and a really bright planet in the SW must be Jupiter which is the brightest it will be for 13 months!
  7. one of my favorite summers, those 90s summers were something.....91, 93, 95, 99 all the way to 2002.... rain usually held off until after summer like 1999 when Floyd hit in September
  8. It would've been even more extreme had it made landfall in Long Island but it never got as strong as it was supposed to get otherwise the western solutions would've verified
  9. Wow I see that here too. Why is that part of the sky an electric blue? It's pretty amazing, no haze even with all this humidity.
  10. Lee Goldberg just said "we're playing by different rules now with our extreme events" We all know what he's talking about. Close to 8 inches now in NYC, at least they measure rainfall well! Lee also said that the tornado in NE PA is a warning shot for what could happen in our area tomorrow.
  11. We should have just gone with climo, heaviest rainfall totals for those more than 100 miles west of the eye, progressively lesser as you get closer to the point of landfall and even less further east.
  12. I was just thinking about that! That night with all the wind and snow was unforgettable. There was snow sticking to the sides of houses!
