Over wash at Jones Beach substantial, up to and underneath the boardwalk

Camille one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit the U.S.

Models and forecasts seem to be showing mid 80s to low 90s this coming week. Today was an out performer at least in my back yard. We'll see what happens

91 earlier, now down to 82

Looks like another cool night, down to 65

56.3 here last night.

Also looks like the models are backing off some on the hot temperatures next week.

57.3 my low temperature.

Newark and Central Park the same high temperature. They must have cut the trees in Central Park and took them over to Newark.

After a high of 81, down to 66 now

Nice day out there today with a temperature of 79 and a ESE breeze. e

Ended up with .09 inch of rain. Pleasant surprise for the grass

light rain here once again .01. 68.6 degrees

Gas and oil furnaces have an efficiency rating of about 80 to 90 per cent. Of course you have the pollutants that go along with it.

Didn't expect a shower but getting one.

Felt good today, hopefully the heat is subdued.

I believe one of the issues with wind and solar energy is that it is about 30 to 40 percent efficient at converting their energy to electricity. Oil and gas have much higher efficiency ratings. I'm sure we will continue to make progress in efficiency improvement for renewables as time goes by. In the mean time oil and gas will be number one if folks want to keep their standard of living the way it is. There are plenty of alternatives that I believe will some day take over and oil and gas will go by the way of the dinosaur. I have a hybrid pick up, great gas mileage and no worries about how far I have to travel. I think a good choice as we gradually go from oil to alternatives.

81 for a high today, now 74. Cooler than normal, felt good.
