    I should have been in the Poconos for this one lol, I would've seen a lot more rain there.
  2. LibertyBell
    yeah this is such a "normal" pattern for what these storms do up here, you dont even need a model to forecast it- lots of rain west of the track, lots of wind east of the track.

    NAMs big win was the Jan 2016 mega snowstorm.

    were you in Long Beach during Bertha in 1996? How much rain and wind do you remember us getting from it?
  5. LibertyBell
    Yep, especially the European has been too far west with this consistently ever since it said it was going to make LF in South Florida. This will probably make landfall near Cape Fear like Bertha 1996 did and track up to western LI at a similar intensity.

    You guys are talking about fireflies.....look up Firefly Squid (in Japan) those are some amazing creatures!

    there are some areas of the Park where there are signs warning people not to let kids or pets onto the grass because what's been sprayed is dangerous to them.

    I'd much rather have Phoenix heat than Miami heat/humidity. AC should be mandatory in all housing and apartments now, as well as in schools and other buildings.
  9. LibertyBell
    this fits Miami weather to a T.

    Don, July 2020 only lacked 100 degree days (even at LGA and EWR). I wonder if July 2021 will surpass all these records. Also, how did Providence manage to get a 100 degree day in July, when not even EWR, LGA or PHL for that matter hit 100? I dont even think DCA hit 100!

    did NYC average 80.0 for the month, Chris?
  12. LibertyBell
    a bit far out, but good weather for the peak of the Perseids Aug 12-13?

    This one also had a similar track, but of course was much stronger- Cat 4 in southern NJ and Cat 3 in the city, when the eye moved right over Manhattan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1821_Norfolk_and_Long_Island_hurricane

    Interesting track...... guys, look up Bertha 1996. This one might have a track similar to that one.....65 mph TS when it made landfall near JFK. The track is close enough to the ocean for it not to weaken rapidly, plus its speed up the coast will help it maintain its structure up here.

    I was reading an old weather book a few years ago, so I may have the year wrong, but it stated that there was a hurricane in early October 1804 (Cat 2- but it stated F2 for some reason), that dropped snow in Boston and sleet in NYC with temps in the 30s. The storm basically bisected LI and CT.

    A goes only a few feet above the water in Jamaica Bay near Beach Channel. That line was really damaged by Sandy.
  17. LibertyBell
    funny thing is we still hit 104 in the 1977 el nino summer and had that big black out
  18. LibertyBell
    thats why I find this storm so intriguing, it caused way more damage to the Jersey shore than would be expected with that kind of landfall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1944_Great_Atlantic_hurricane#Jersey_Shore as a matter of fact, that storm tracked significantly farther east than Gloria lol.
  19. LibertyBell
    Looking forward to next summer lol?
  20. LibertyBell
    1944 is an extremely underrated TC....there were reports of 200 mph wind gusts from coastal NJ? Lots of damage there. That was a true coastal hugger. a record hot summer too.....1944 was a fascinating year. I think Aug 1893 is the only hurricane on this list that actually made landfall in the 5 boros? Uncle, do you have a track/intensity map for Sept 1882 (our rainiest month ever, almost nudged out by October 2005), I haven't seen a map for that storm. Uncle, I found something else pretty amazing that happened in Sept 1882! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Comet_of_1882 The Great Comet of 1882 formally designated C/1882 R1, 1882 II, and 1882b, was a comet which became very bright in September 1882. It was a member of the Kreutz Sungrazers, a family of comets which pass within 1 R☉ of the Sun's photosphere at perihelion.[1][2] The comet was bright enough to be visible next to the Sun in the daytime sky at its perihelion.[3]
  21. LibertyBell
    Yes, a Cat 3 wind gust! I wonder if they shut down the bridges during that storm?
  22. LibertyBell
    Yes, we didn't get anywhere near as much rain from Floyd as you did, here it was around 3-4 inches. I remember NE PA got 10" or more a real drought buster in 1999! Gloria had much more rainfall over NYC; we had heavy rain too, but it came to an abrupt end as the center zoomed north at around 70 mph. And a whole lot of nothing on the other side lol. Vermont was a disaster area in Irene. The three states that suffered the most from Irene were NC, NJ and VT. Sounds like your part of NYS suffered pretty badly too. We had heavy rain but nowhere near what you got. August 2011 was extremely rainy for us though (similar to October 2005), we had about 10" of rain on a Saturday from a separate event (training storms.)
  23. LibertyBell
    Yes the winds are almost always stronger to the east of the eye, but the rainfall totals are usually higher to the west..... parts of the 5 boros had somewhere between 5 and 6 inches of rain from it?
  24. LibertyBell
    Based on the 100 mile rule, if you want the heaviest rainfall from a TC you want it the center to be about 100 miles to your east. I remember when Gloria made LF near Bay Shore, the heaviest rains were right over NYC. When Bob made LF between MTP and Block Island, the heaviest rains were in Queens and Nassau County. When Floyd made landfall on Jones Beach, the heaviest rains were in NJ and NE PA. When Irene made landfall near Coney Island, the heaviest rains were in NJ. When Bertha made landfall near JFK the heaviest rains were in the Poconos. etc.....
  25. LibertyBell
    Yep, I personally dont remember it but I remember Gloria lol. Didn't Henry make landfall just before Gloria did? I remember days of rainfall before Gloria hit, maybe that was Henry?
