I still regardless of actual wind speed, damage and power out is still just as impactful. Seems enough without power in CT that it was an impactful system.
Yeah not surprising. I still am in shock with how much debris can come out of trees with 20+ gusts. Would’ve thought they were stripped already from all the events in the past decade.
The scud aloft was absolutely flying though. Reminds me of those 925mb wind progs shared on here…. Watching leaves gently sway at 5-15mph while it’s like 40kts sustained at like 2,000ft.
I cannot believe the amount of small limb debris on the roads around here… wind felt like it might have gusted to 30mph and there’s small twigs, branches and crap everywhere on the roads. These trees just want to drop stuff.
I sort of get it from what Ryan said… CT has seen some ridiculous power outages for what models had as rather mundane storms. Hearing the amount of days some posters have been without power in recent years… It would be easier to lean towards hype. Judging by what everyone around here says they are expecting to lose power if there are 40mph gusts, ha.
Engagement party yesterday. Heading back today. Will be back in a week for something else too.
That rain band was torrential, it knows how to rain here it seems this summer.
The Red Sox were obviously distracted by hurricane prep tonight with 5 errors. You can tell the players were wondering more about latest model guidance for Henri than playing baseball.
Just got down to NE CT… every gas station has at least one or two people filling up red gas containers. One of the clerks was joking they lose power on a sunny day with a stiff breeze.
Misquamicut is looking better and better for huge surf. My favorite beach spot growing up, experienced a couple days of good waves body surfing as a kid and that was it.
Even on NESN after the Sox game, they switched to Henri watch.
0.69” in the Stratus this evening. I’m sure there’s some slight difference between manual and electronic A soaking rain that lasted for most of the day. Even the persistent mist and -RN made for a damp synoptic rain event.
Places just south of here got double these amounts and more. Coastal storm type gradient.
No shit, just looked it up. The KC Scouts in 1974. I grew up an Islanders and Devils fan, never knew that about the Devils. Knew they came from CO.
Maybe KC can be a hockey town? Or it didn’t work, ha.
They can wait. There's a 'cane to track.
This is when you pass that parked cruiser doing like 60 in a 40 and the cop doesn't even blink. The 18z EPS is out and it's real, other things to look at.
