ES reporting system going down again is a big issue which needs to be addressed. Besides that power is just getting restored now because cleanups took a day to complete. Significant progress can and hopefully will be made the next few days, but anyone expecting a one to two days turnaround on a storm that knocks power out to half a million people is out of there mind. People want better infrastructure and utilities are incentivized to do so, but that comes at a cost to ratepayers which no one wants to pay. So therefore the utilities are limited with what they can do, and this is what you get. You then hear “bury the lines!” But no one understands how ridiculously expensive and time consuming that would be .

Lamont calling on PURA to investigate the response by the states utilities already. Seems incredibly premature to call out the utilities one day in when we were just hit by the largest storm since Irene. This should end well..

Saw this down the road from me. It looks like the shed blew threw the fence. Pretty crazy.

Finally seems to have quieted down. Down the road a shed blew threw a fence and is in the middle of the road. I have a pic of it but I can’t seem to upload. Shame. Overall a crazy storm wind wise.

Saw on news 12 there is extensive damage in Westport and a citizen they interview they thought it was a tornado. I remember there was a tornado warning at one point there too. Was there anything confirmed or was it just strong winds?

It cleared out here, but suddenly it clouded up and now it’s gusting like hell again. I thought we were done with this.

Intense out there, just heard a transformer pop. Hope this doesn’t last too long..

Well this sucks. Wind threat looks legit. Would rather have the rain.

Yep the vegetation that grew in my neighbors yard, but on my property line, grew into something you would see in the Amazon. I had to train for a half marathon that year too. Simply dreadful.

That summer was just awful. I think we doubled the record for amount of days with dews over 70, or something like that.

Yep. My uncle is a mortgage rep In Westport ct and he had a client who was trying to purchase a $2.8M house cash, but got outbid by multiple other cash offers. Lots of people fleeing the city at the moment.

Of the rain variety lol.

Pretty sure we had nor’easters this past winter that were way worse than this.

Well at least one town in CT escaped the drought.

10 out of 10 day out today at least. A beaut.

Congrats Boston on the 06z GFS.

Never cared for him until Kev posted his ramblings every day, but now it’s just funny reading his posts. I wish someone would call him out on it but I have a feeling he is the type who just deletes the post and then blocks that individual.

Dude just refuses to admit that he was wrong lol

Ya I’ve always liked this one . Vortexva has a bunch of really good videos on his channel. Fritch Texas is a classic.

Hard to totally buy into it yet but that certainly would get spring rolling were it to verify.

Ya the 12z runs actually don’t look nearly as bad as they were, at least for SNE. Mostly sunny and temps around 60 most of next week. Hope that doesn’t change.

Depends where you live. Was cloudy and bleh by 10am here. Pretty dreadful day. Glad it was nice for some people though.

So euro and cmc now seem to extend the rainy bleh into Saturday. So now only Sunday could be our nice day. Lovely.

62F and sunny. So nice.

Mix of sun and clouds. Really hoping the sun wins out soon.
