  1. obviously you can not stop it all but if you seriously think they are doing enough take a ride up here and look at the rural areas. They half assed it. After all the lessons from previous storms they failed to prep, especially in towns. We all know power loss happens and we prepare but to see the same mistakes happen over and over again is cringe worthy. When you anticipate 10 to 15 % loss and you get 75% you better do a couple of things. Get better forecasters and reevaluate your infrastructure
  2. Not one town had a crew staged with DPW. Think about that. Understaffed, totally dependant on outside contractors and sending millions to CeOs and stockholders. Maybe it's time to break up the monopoly and make it privatized
  3. All they had to do initially is put one crew in each town to respond to hot spots. I saw pics of melted Asphalt from down wires, fires burning up to hours. That stuff is easily fixed. Utility Emergency preparations should expect the worst and scale back, not scale up. EM 101. We know power goes out,, it happens. But at least give it your best. The tree trimming which we are charged for is an absolute joke and that includes towns. Tree huggers need to step to the back row. The forests are extremely healthy as shown in the recent released CT forestry report even with gypsies and borders, the biomass has grown. They don't trim opposite sides of streets despite the fact south side trees fall more readily. I really hope they step it up.
  4. Fuking sweating my ass off in my house 82 degrees RH 60%, where's our relief lol
  5. no its not Wiz. They failed
  6. Towns don't touch trees on power lines without Eversource. Preposition means embedded a crew with each town so they can deenergize so trees can be removed. Believe me, this is an epic fail on Eversource. They actually told me this year when they were trimming trees when I asked about the south side trees that it was the towns problem. I pointed out that most trees fail in southeast winds because trees grow stronger in the prevailing wind direction. They looked at me with cross eyes. As someone who dealt with EM for years it was always a challenge getting CLP to storm prep meetings, usually no shows
  7. pay them Ceos and stockholders millions breh
  8. Lol dude they estimated 15 to 20 % outage and got 75%. Epic fail
  9. I have 1717 on the 2020 bingo card

  13. Blue Hill We have several different wind systems here at Blue Hill. Here is how they compared with the peak gust today. F420C (Official) - 58 kts (67 mph) Aerovane - 62 kts (71 mph) ASOS - 51 kts (59 mph) Davis - 57 kts (66 mph) Merlin - 58 kts (67 mph) RM Young - 61 kts (70 mph)
  14. Gloria was that way here,all south facing leaves burnt from salt. You literally could be on one side of a tree and see brown, other side green. East sides of tropical systems here are always dry. I was western eyewall of Bob and had 6+ inches
  15. is that the rule, cool. I thought it just said travelers to RI
