    Sadly, BDL didn't have measurable this May even though we did here in Hartford.

    Right? Could just as easily be a pelt fest I guess.
  3. CT Rain
    Wouldn't read too much into that. Hopefully we get something fun out of it but who knows this early.

    The rare damaging ice storm prior to Halloween?
  5. CT Rain
    That is one hell of a look. Cold AF too.

    lol - I did just look at the Euro after being away all weekend.

    Move to CT if you want some real power outages.
  8. CT Rain
    Agreed. It was a very poor performance.

    It's shocking how bad the Euro has been. Like really, really bad. For months now!

    I have never been to the Electric Blue!

    Kevin puts on a wig to blend in with the crowd the first Thursday of every month for Ladies Night.

    Oh wow - figured it was bad. You can track the RFD surge from the Farm River in North Branford/Foxon right over Snake Hill and then down toward Tisko off Damascus Rd. Did you ever get your drone up?

    It was a fun one here. Some of the best winds I've seen for about an hour.
  15. CT Rain
    Yeah I imagine Snake Hill is an absolute mess. I'm also wondering how it is over by the Supply Ponds... the core of the strongest wind went from Snake Hill right over the Supply Ponds and then down through Damascus Rd near Tisko. Let me know what you see - I'd love to take a look!

    I was out on the Sound Sunday and saw the damage from the water. The most impressive damage was just west of you over the Thimbles where there were a number of snapped flag poles, snapped/uprooted trees, etc. Lots of debris in the water including flipped over docks, limbs, etc. What a mess. Glad you're OK.

    I drove around Branford yesterday and the damage is remarkable. Widespread 80-100 mph gusts with snapped stands of hardwood trees, some structural damage, etc. Have to imagine it's the worst damage in town since at least Hurricane Gloria. What struck me overall was the pretty much continuous damage path from Bethany to Hamden to North Haven and then North Branford/Foxon/Branford. One of the most impressive swaths of widespread damage I can recall outside of a significant tornado in New England.

    It was in time for Branford but definitely late for Bethany and Hamden.

    Here's our coverage as the storms moved into the New Haven area. Pretty impressive live shots from Hamden and New Haven in there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yow0-a_YDe0

    Yeah, looks like straight line wind damage to me. Radar matched what I saw on the ground very well... narrow path that reached max strength over North Haven followed by the circulation occluding and a hellacious RFD surge southeast of there. I don't really like the NWS classification of microbursts... this was just a really wide swath of RFD damage.

    I wrote about the storm in my blog if anyone's interested. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather-news/on-ryans-radar/august-27-tornado-event/2325826/

    Looks like it was a meteotsunami in Long Island Sound.
  23. CT Rain
    We mentioned Leete's Island and Stony Creek a few times on air this afternoon - was a wild looking storm down that way.
  24. CT Rain
    Well that was quite a day
  25. CT Rain
    Seems like the convection between ALB and BGM is going to help at least temporarily keep the warm front south as it moves toward CT.
