Still fun tracking with you all! Total dud here on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket aswell. Not even a power outage. And a few downed limbs…. Could anyone explain what happened in the 11th hour that would have reduced severity in SNE and cause minimal rain fall (outside of Chatham and Nantucket’s rainfall) .
Beautiful day on the vineyard, partly cloudy this am but breezy and sunny for a few hours today. Cloud cover is rolling in but haven’t felt any gusts over 30 yet today .
Exactly it’s blows +40mph here multiple times a year. What we aren’t accustomed to is hurricanes or at least we haven’t been for a long time. Was just speaking to my uncle about his and my parents parents remembering 38… for a while they took every subsequent tropical/ hurricane event very seriously. But slowly but surely every year since there’s been less and less of a concern or worry about hurricanes. NEnglanders overall are no longer prepared for big storms like our friends in FL .
this! considering the cost of the damages of '38 was in the 10s of millions (adjusted for inflation) the cost of a storm this size these days with incresed population and building density would be incredibly high.
that is super interesting! I was just looking at https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41001 East Hatteras buoy seeing first swells here, expecting larger surf picking up tomorrow from block island to nantucket
