    No heavy rain here but a good soaker that will help the plants for a good while. Probably 0.3” or so.

    Winds here were definitely stronger from Sandy. This reminds me more of the 3/2010 nor’easter and Irene wind wise. The fast NNE motion at our latitude helped strengthen the winds I’m sure as well as the warm waters for this time of year.

    This area must have gusted over 70 and perhaps for a decent period of time to cause the tree damage here. It’s not an exaggeration at all. And not just small trees came down-plenty of big ones too that are still blocking side streets and even bigger roads. There’s a tree on top of someone’s house on my street I’ll try posting a pic of later.

    MTP is almost 90 miles east of FRG and never really got into the action, that plus pressure gradient and proximity to the center. Still so strange to me how windy it was where I am but with less than 0.25” rain. I’m about 5 miles north of FRG and my neighborhood was completely trashed. I could only imagine what would’ve been if it struck NC at 110-115mph instead of 85.

    Sandy (living in Long Beach which was devastated) Isaias (wind) Irene (wind was maybe a little less, but surge much higher) Below this-Floyd, Bertha, etc.

    There must have been widespread gusts into the 70s given the amount of tree damage. Big trees like these wouldn’t come down with gusts barely over 60. And the ground wasn’t especially saturated-we had little rain East of the track.

    A house on my street was very lucky when a tree like that fell on the house but not the trunk. And I just checked out my immediate neighborhood.
  8. jm1220
    Same here. Trees down everywhere. One fell on a house down my street. Large branches/limbs down all over the place too.

    Around here it seems like fallen trees took wires down. After a severe storm last summer came through, PSEG trimmed branches around the wires in my neighborhood which likely helped today. That and luck. Much of the rest of my town looks like it’s out.

    For most near the coast Sandy was definitely higher. Given the tree damage where I am though we must’ve had gusts into the 70s today.

    Massive tree damage in my neighborhood. One big tree fell on a house and several other large ones down or substantially damaged. Traffic lights on Jericho Turnpike mostly out.

    On tracks like these, dry air and shear get to them very quickly. You saw how fast the sun came out this afternoon-all the moisture in the storm was pushed out ahead of it. I will say it definitely would’ve been worse if it had 12 more hours over water near NC. It definitely was organizing at the end and couldve made it to Cat 2.

    There’s never much rain on the east side of these at this latitude. You have to be lucky with whatever feeder bands there are.
  14. jm1220
    I think even Fay had more rain here. The feeder band was spotty in this area and obviously any steady rain was west of the city.
  15. jm1220
    Farmingdale 78mph, Gilgo Beach 76mph etc.

    Other than the hurricane force gust at FRG and the LBI gust, what other hurricane force gusts have there been in this area? The winds definitely did verify if not the craziness the Euro/UKMET had.
  17. jm1220
    After the big Huntington to Hauppauge T-storm last summer PSEG came and cleared branches from near power lines in my neighborhood (I lost power for 3 days from that), and maybe the effect of old/weak trees being cleared from prior storms helped. Not out of the woods yet though. From what I hear there’s plenty of trees down in my area. Haven’t been out to check yet.
  18. jm1220
    96000 customers approximately out on LI per PSEG.
  19. jm1220
    Wind should pick back up again-maybe 40-50mph from the west when the storm passes. So far miraculously I have power.
  20. jm1220
    This is quite intense down here on LI. FRG is a few miles from me. I somehow still have power but trees are shaking pretty good. Lots of big branches down.
  21. jm1220
    Power just flashed here.
  22. jm1220
    One more feeder band should come through over the next hour
  23. jm1220
    Wish I was in Long Beach. Must be crazy down there.
  24. jm1220
    Just had a gust probably 50-55mph, trees swayed pretty good. Also torrential rain but radar looks lighter.
  25. jm1220
    60mph gust at LGA at end of last hour.
