Yeah it was horrible. I know the impact of it is bad, but I mean it's not something I ever want to experience and I dont want anyone else to experience it either. Honestly, I'll be super happy once we have climate control and limit the destruction to lives and property that weather events cause. I dont mind a few inches of rain and some wind (like in the 30-50 mph area, thats not really destructive.) But 60+ mph winds and high surge are too destructive to really be something to look forward to. Of course your tastes may vary.

No wind and surge don't interest me, because I dont go to the beach. I would rather not have wind because I dont want my roof to be blown off- so it's a concern, but after Sandy I definitely dont ever want to experience winds like that ever again and probably wont. So I care about them in the sense that I dont want them. I love things I can actually see- like rain and snow.

4 tornado warnings but all north of here

It's too legit to quit! Or maybe it will by the next run lol. Or maybe it'll be sub 900 mb next

that was a boring storm lol barely any rain at all. Dec 1992 was FAR superior to it and quite frankly to any other coastal storm I've ever experienced, 3 days of wind and rain mixed with snow. You're right about west of storm surge issues though it impacts coastal areas and causes evacuations in cities like Long Beach.

heaviest rains are 100 miles to the west with TC at our latitude, most of us care about rain not wind and surge. East of storm is usually boring with paltry rainfall totals

any tornado reports?

or how The Matrix was powered.....

thats the way to beat high humidity, have a screaming 20-30 mph wind lol. I dont think heat index even takes into account wind speed (or amount of sunshine or sun angle for that matter)

how long before subtropical goes full on tropical?

But Bob moved in a NNE to NE direction, it was a conventional storm on a conventional track

Like Edouard, I remember that one clearly, But that stalled too far to the east for anyone to get rain from it.

slow moving storm that might even stall?

Also look at how NYC mins have risen in concert with the airports, but the maxes have not, unlike the airports.

yeah so even if you're 100 miles west of the center you'll get high winds as well as the heavier rainfall that usually occurs west of the center when these storms get up here

uhm with that track we're all getting it, remember a hurricane isn't a point.

that Sandy-like blocking northeast of us could be the determining factor here, see the tweet I posted

it doesn't matter if it's tropical or not, it's that blocking to the north which matters

It's the patriotic model we need to be Americans and support American models. #AmericaFirst lmao

Chris according to this the blocking high is there to force the storm to the NW and into the tristate area.

At this point should we be looking at the tropical models more than the global models though?

it's Wednesday this storm is coming in Sunday, that's 4 days away not a week away

really 4-5 days because it's in the Sunday-Monday timeframe.

With the NW track this seems a lot more similar to Sandy than Bob though. Bob was a conventional hurricane on a typical NNE to NE track.
