  1. Power out here in west Hartford....genny on and we’re all set....some pics First one Is outside my house.....I watched it fall....the rest in the neighborhood
  2. In Hartford this beats them all....
  3. Holy smokes.....337k UI customers out....half a million plus out in CT....that’s oct 2011 territory inthink
  4. Approaching 200k Eversource customers out now.....insane....not sure what UI is
  5. It’s sounding like October 2011 again....all the blasts I’m hearing....
  6. Uh Shotgun blasts from neighbors yard....oh man...and there went another large branch....the wind picked up when the sun came out
  7. Power went but back on in a minute...wind here is better than Irene or sandy....insane
  8. Was eyeing that not 2 min ago....that’s rotating into Hartford in about 15...
  9. Seems decent down near Hartford....just watched probably large 4” branch come off neighbors tree
  10. Almost at 40k out in CT.......SW CT and up Rt 7 corridor through New Milford......East on 84 to Southbury
  11. Getting gusty in west Hartford....we gust
  12. Going from memory.....granted we are west coast natives and didn’t arrive until August 2004.....so.... 1: October 2011 easily..... 2: Nemo.....Feb 2013.....we got 30+ 3: Feb 2006 Blizzy 4: Jan 2005.....but that thing underperformed here..... 5: Irene.....Aug 2011.....
  13. Welp today was the great 2019 summer - wait winter total solar eclipse - down in South America....images looked great....very much reminded me of 2017....loved chasing that in Missouri....a great life memory...next total solar eclipse is again in South America 12-14-20.....countdown to the great North American eclipse in 2024 is on
  14. Oh wait.....Nevermind....it’s July 2 not June 2....lol
  15. We have some local events coming though.....a few over like 20 years....I’ll have to look up
  16. Bro....was just looking up next total and it’s on Sunday man.....remember we were all discussing this so much when we were all chasing 2017....god that was so fun chasing to Columbia MO.....what a great experience......wish we were there in Chile in 36 hours.....
  17. Like 3" here in West Hartford.....whoever started this thread forgot to add Meh to the title.....what a joke....
  18. It's high stakes cuz they don't happen very often even if you are willing to go to where the next one happens.....like I almost gave in and just stuck with my original target in NE.....but I just couldn't after all the planning and work....I knew it would be a marathon....and it was worth every bit.....
  19. Nice....damn guys now I want to really do it......cruise would be great
  20. No question....would be awful....but going to Chile and it being overcast would suck too....seems it could be difficult to divert down there.....also not sure about infrastructure necessary to even monitor that type of thing....I mean in Nebraska and Missouri I could look at visible sat and radar in seconds....and decide very quickly where to go....
  21. I mean if you compared the cost to get to Chile and accommodations and transport - maybe pay to be in a tour group - and then add two weeks and turn it into a vacation.....it's probably a wash....give or take
  22. https://www.travelquesttours.com/tours/2019-south-pacific-cruise-to-totality/pricing-terms/ $7,900 per person for steerage $20,000 per person for bull market suite
  23. For $10,000 you can book on a 2 week cruise and see the eclipse in the Pacific.....with stops at Pitcairn Island, Bora Bora, and other south pacific islands.....seriously want to do this
  24. To get the 6+ minutes for that eclipse you need to be in Tallahassee......when it makes landfall in Eureka, CA totality is only 4min 24sec.....lol....I would kill for even that..... I guess the length of totality is related to how close to the earth the moon is when it crosses in front of the sun.....
