  1. can see it raining about a mile or so south of here-so close, yet so far...LOL
  2. Line of storrms firing just south of me, not moving this way though-looks to skim the coast
  3. onshore flow this weekend should keep the water warm (I'm paying attention as we're heading to OC NJ Saturday for a week)
  4. some burn here too and I'm 5 miles inland from the sound. I also have salt on my south facing windows... Nothing like what you're describing but you all face the open Atlantic vs the sound.
  5. the stove worked too. Just had to manually light it.
  6. Crazy NAM run-something to watch for sure 6z GFS has something similar
  7. interestingly, my hot water heater provided hot water throughout the whole ordeal (nat gas). Some of my neighbors did not...not sure why....Our water heater is a couple years old.
  8. That big high over Newfoundland is trouble if a hurricane gets into the right spot...
  9. hopefully something changes of out of it and once the lights come back on people don't forget. Butler lost his CEO job after the 2011 disaster but there were no fines or lawsuits. There's zero excuse this go around-they should pay a penalty for sure. Inexcusable response. UI was only slightly better.
  10. I'd point to maintenance as a culprit-we're UI here, but I see alot of old crappy poles, trees against lines etc.
  11. what's the population difference b/w now and then? Does that factor in at all? Otherwise I agree-antiquated equipment or they're not doing proper upkeep. Imagine if a Cat 3 took that path?
  12. To me it looked like they were reactive vs proactive-out of state crews were not called in until 24-48 hours post storm-I'm sure they'll blame Covid or something but there's no excuse for that-they knew what they were looking at by Tuesday eve.
  13. it's amazing-nothing has changed-basically a redux of their poor response time back in the storms of 2010-2012.
  14. We haven't had a cold front here in weeks lol. Recember Septembers have been warm/hot...ways to go
  15. I think we have entered another longer term snowless era....persistent +NAO and EPO seems to be going more and more positive
  16. At the worst of it I had no cell phone signal-had to drive into town-truly cut off from the world.
  17. After 4 long days, power has been restored here-the tree damage is astounding-lot of hard hit microburst/tornado type damage.
  18. wind products on these models are almost always over done-reduce by 25 to even 50%
