Local offices and wpc are really hammering us saying record breaking floods coming. Literally aaying historic

Better to be safe than sorry in this situation.

I think Boston broke all time low temp last night 84F

Night need flash flood for somewhere in E MA tonight

That was some of the best video I've seen around here of a twistah

Ended up being a RI storm only

I thought it was 500

92k without power

83k without power

Huge increase in outages. 20,473 MEMA + RI.

Wherever the cliff walk is. I'm not very knowledgeable on the South Coast

Looks pretty wild in our live shot in Newport RI

Will be interesting when Newport switches to SE winds

Please keep it on topic

24 hours ago this was supposed to track over LI and into CT. Ryan posts here. He works for NBC CT. You think he is hyping this storm needlessly? I'm wondering. He flew home from Italy early to track this.

Good point

The initial scale was developed by Herbert Saffir, a structural engineer, who in 1969 went on commission for the United Nations to study low-cost housing in hurricane-prone areas.[7] While conducting the study, Saffir realized there was no simple scale for describing the likely effects of a hurricane. Mirroring the utility of the Richter magnitude scale for describing earthquakes, he devised a 1–5 scale based on wind speed that showed expected damage to structures. Saffir gave the scale to the NHC, and Simpson added the effects of storm surge and flooding.

I don't really care most of the board would kill to be in S RI

Nah dude, you're right. It's nothing more than a light shower. You've outsmarted all of the media and meteorologists tracking the storm

It's slowing down as we speak

We've entered the vortex of stupid again. Possible gusts to 80mph in a crawling tropical storm is going to cause terrible outages over areas of the south coast.

If you rip and read a qpf map you'd be right

I'm very much not surprised you say this considering you are a member of the poo poo committee. 70 Mph for a lot of Rhode Island

Some posters on here are incredible. Whining from an area expected to see widespread damage and outages.
