Yeah absolutely a disappointment. I remember watching the eye creep up the 70 degree longitude line and hoping to not curve. Our best winds came the next day as it left, but man was hoping for more.
Might be? I'm half kidding about what I said earlier, but probably another year of a black hole up by the poles. No need to worry in Randolph, NH coming from the Mid Atlantic..lol.
I haven't lost power from a storm yet despite these crazy events. Now maybe I am lucky as nearby streets have, but Weymouth is not heavily forested at all. My folks however, lose power when a squirrel farts.
I know it. Same here. I heard the hurricane of 38 took out a lot of the white pines which moved in after the farming disappeared in the late 1800s. Once the white pines were gone, the hardwoods were able to take off now that they had more light. Pretty interesting.
