  1. Any rebuild pics? Such an interesting story. 38 changed a lot of things. Since moving up here from Westerly I am amazed at the lack of Emergency Prep and recovery. Westerly suffered the most casualties from 38 and they never forget. They have a plan pre and post and its wonderful how quickly things are brought back to normal. I thought after Irene that my town and area would learn. Its actually become worse.
  2. Nice to have that genny and cable. We lost wifi after the first day but I have an antenna for the TV so I could chill at night. Hope you get it fixed. Gas or fixed genny?
  3. I talked to a Asplund tree guy. He said it's mass confusion with no direction. Apparently the main guys who coordinated crews retired and some of the guys left are clueless and only got the jobs because they were connected. ClusterF
  4. SECT and SRI didn't however get the big winds but I get your point. Interesting look around the state and you can see by the damage paths clear locations of outer bands with embedded circulations. I have now seen 2 storms basically exactly the same. Wether they are called tornadoes or not these outer bands winds have a swirling circulation . I watched as my trees whipped from one direction to the other over and over. My anemometers swung direction rapidly. My traces on my graphs are crazy with wind direction
  5. Dude I posted in the other thread. They have a crew sitting outside my daughter's house watching so no one goes near a live line on Rt 138. 5 days now, 12 hour shifts just sitting.
  6. I see the Frank Lloyd Wright influence.
  7. interesting lady took over Public Utility oversight. She is from Maryland and is kicking ass. Her interviews are a breath of fresh air from the pandering politicians we are used to. To top it all off Eversource increased our delivery charges this month by 40% . Some people got 600 to 800 bills when they used the same energy and paid 300 last year. The company doesn't reinvest but doles out stock like crazy. Went from 60 to like 80 this year . CEO made 9 million in bonus, total salary 20 million. They are a joke. They have had a crew sitting outside my daughter's house for 5 days as there is a live line hitting a guardrail on heavily traveled Rt 138. 12 hour shifts watching a live line. Fuking nutz
  8. His house is still in the middle of the street
  9. I can't believe how many people have said they didn't know what was coming and didn't expect much. I think TS Fay may have been a curse
  10. woah that looks modern for 38, who was the architect
  11. That sucks, you have a place to shower? Are you on well water?
  12. I was on the Cog headed up Mt Washington in August 65 when a snow squall hit and they sent us back down. We were vacationing in Maine in an unheated cabin that was cold as hell. I can recall that morning waking up like yesterday. Teeth chattering cold.
  13. winter moth, they are destroying trees in Rhode Island too.
  14. Notice how short the trees are there. We have 100 footers everywhere
  15. Just put in 10 inches of Asphalt like they do in other places. I think they call it make work in CT Do a shitty job so you get to do it again.
  16. The purest hurricane was Carol 54 with equal distribution of rain west and east. The eye went over Groton Ct
  17. Helps they name Ray's farts
  18. hope you are not on the let's do it train too.
  19. Hope not, was thinking today about all the people unemployed and struggling with life and how this power situation adds to their misery. I hope we have a bunch of recurves south of us. Good surf and COC weather. Soon the westerlies and cold fronts will start to show up
