I first read this as you’re waiting for the dogsled to bring you food. Now I want chili dogs.

In the global battle, it looks like the GFS won this?

Which is absolutely nuts to me. I had to drive through most of the cape to get spotty signal. I never lost signal once during Laura or any other chase for that matter.

Minimum pressure recorded: 980.4mb

Last night felt like a cat 1 for a few hours and it looked like it this morning driving through. The most intense winds came right around the closest center pass.

I’m so happy. What a chase. Hurricane gusts all along the shoreline.

One hell of a chase. Substantial tree damage and widespread outages as I made my way back.

Looks like some gravity waves or something near me has the winds ripping right now. No cell phone service which I didn’t even lose in Laura but I have xfinity wifi somehow coming through in the clutch lol.

Wow. That’s nuts.

Wind gusts have picked back up here after a bit of a lull.

Looks like they recorded an 82 at 3:45 and Hatch Beach across the way got a 71 about an hour ago. The damage survey will be interesting in a few hours.

The heaviest echoes are just to my north but we’re still getting lashed here. Still very windy, but not as bad as 30-60 minutes ago. That might have been the peak from what I saw.

980.4mb here

It’s wild here

No power. ~982mb.

Easily the best wind of the night right now.

Yep. Wish this had a daytime peak because the ocean has to be going wild right now even without a true E wind. First proper one since July. Back at work tomorrow lol.

Pressure down to ~987mb. Wind is roaring out of the NNE.

Probably a little south of the best stuff here along the coast in East (?) Orleans, but we’re ripping pretty solid now in the last hour. Good wave action earlier.

I know this isn’t tropical, but this is WxWatcher007 reporting live from Orleans, MA for my first proper chase since July. It feels good to be back in the game. While this picture is from an hour ago, the Atlantic is becoming full of whitecaps as a nor’easter continues to rapidly deepen off the east coast. I’m here because there’s a High Wind Warning in effect for gusts near hurricane force tonight, and guidance that suggests hurricane force winds are in reach. I’ve got a great view of the ocean, an excellent wind measurement location, and a work meeting in 45 minutes…

I'm not really tracking for a (sub)tropical designation because it doesn't change the overall forecast, but watch convection near the center. A little is firing right now and if that expands and/or stays consistent it makes it a little more interesting in the designation department. Congrats PF

The low has been designated Invest 94L.
