  1. once in a lifetime there. That sting jet was nuts...many around me were without power 7-10 days. (got lucky here-only out 6 hrs)
  2. had about 2.5 inches here...down to drizzle now. Storm total about 3.5
  3. picked up close to 2 inches already this morning-still going but back edge a few miles west
  4. heaviest rain of the storm here now
  5. west track vs east track though. An east track is at worst a rainstorm
  6. could be some bigger totals tomorrow as it swings back east. I've had about an inch here so far which is a massive bust.
  7. Yeah, I could see myself coming back too-lol
  8. indeed but how often do we see multiple storms in the same season here? guess you could count Elsa too-so we've had 2 this year
  9. Makes sense. Bummer you had to cut your vacation short for this "storm"
  10. Brutal. I turned on the TV this AM and it was painful to watch. Reporters panning in on puddles on the pavement and treetops that were barely moving. Just say that you're going to return to regular programming and then cut back in if events warrant. Interestingly back in Hurricane Gloria there was no local coverage outside of regular news times...the soap operas and game shows ran despite a legit storm...what's changed since then?
  11. Yeah we all want the big storm, but without having to live through the after effects lol. Days/weeks w/o no power is brutal.
  12. I think he's right-CT has historically done poorly with storms/power outages partly due to the forest nature of the state in generally and partly due to incompentency of the utilities
  13. funny how some surprisingly intensify and some don't even though they're expected to. Once this didn't get to 85-90Mph and coupled with the well east landfall (vs Central LI let's say) it was over for many as far as the wind threat.
  14. If this were a 100mph storm at peak strength the outcome would have been different
  15. Lol. We had a 25mph gust earlier…my neighbor asked when the big winds are coming…funny how the general public doesn’t know it’s not happening.
  16. Crazy. That’s the interaction bw the upper low and the storm
  17. Given the amount of forest/above ground lines in CT I shudder to think what a 1938 redux would do. Months without power for some
  18. Lol I didn’t listen to him it’s JB being JB I’m just illustrating how things get out of control with the hype.
  19. That’s exactly it no one wants to be the first to pull the plug. I remember March 2001 in NYC the local channels still had reporters in Times Square for an inch of slush. Tough call but at some point you say it’s not happening as we thought and pull the plug.
  20. I would resume normal programming at this point.
