Damage In Tolland Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 In terms of where the thing peaked it conveniently fit in Connecticut's borders very well. Here are the power outages in CT... never seen such widespread coverage like this. Normally on a day thunderstorm day you get 50-70k customers in the dark. 140k is ice storm material. No outages in Willington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 sister said there is pretty extensive tree damage in wilton ct. The gust front was what really impressed me, and the clouds, was def some rotation for a while just east of here and a tor sig up for a bit on wr, but whatever, great event, 6/1 spoiled many i guess, but I certainly dont ever want any part of that ****, never.

CT Rain Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 No outages in Willington? I don't know why they're not reporting there but there are a lot apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I wonder why BOX doesn't have any of the CT wind damage reports in the PNS except Enfield Relax...they will...probably swamped and haven't had the time to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 EWB 45kts..lol. They quietly had one hell of a last 18hrs or so. That area from near PVD to EWB took it on the chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Man I won't forget that one strike. Still a little freaked out from it. Just blinded the inside of my condo with white light and instant crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I wouldn't go that far, but 50-60mph winds will due tons of damage to foliated trees. Imagine a Cat 1 storm...lol. The aerial coverage of the squall line was impressive as it went all the way into Maine. But there were probably very few areas that got severe criteria winds. When it was first entering New England, I thought we'd see more widespread 60+ mph gusts, but it just never really strengthened anymore. But it did have an impressive coverage of areas that got 40-45mph winds. Most people got winds of that strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree. 40-45 mph winds don';t cause the damage like we saw in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't agree. 40-45 mph winds don';t cause the damage like we saw in CT You would be surprised. Of course, there were areas that had stronger winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't agree. 40-45 mph winds don';t cause the damage like we saw in CT Well there were some 50-55mph winds too...KHFD gusted to 49 knots which is nearly severe criteria. Litchfield county probably had severe criteria too...but most areas were in the 40-50 range. You'd see some better ASOS reports if there was widespread severe criteria. As Scott said, you can still get good tree damage on foliated trees with 50mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Man I won't forget that one night stand. Still a little sore from it. Just pounded in the backside inside of my condo by big white white men with large cracks. WTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 That separate cell in NW CT I think helped get things going up there. The bow near CEF really hit ne CT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Scott said, you can still get good tree damage on foliated trees with 50mph winds. Given the number of power outages outside of areas covered well by ASOS reports I tend to think Kevin is right at least here in CT. There were some pretty wide swaths with widespread tree and powerline damage in NE CT, Western CT, and around Old Saybrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah they both had it more or less. HRR has killed it the last 2 days. It's time for us to start banging that model on severe wx days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 WTH? You would have crapped your pants. It was a small little zap, but I had to check my condo to make sure it was ok. Turns out the pole got hit or at least some sort of streamer hit it. It had a weird burning smell outside too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't agree. 40-45 mph winds don';t cause the damage like we saw in CT Hearing of the Tropical Storm conditions which decimated CT. I left work and drove the 33 miles backroads through Ledyard, N Stoinington, Voluntown, Sterling, to home in Moosup. Found the most extraordinary results, not one limb, tree down, most amazingly after a Tropical storm there were no leaves litter on any road. Miracle. Then I checked, most of the outages from CLP were from lightning strikes, tripped breakers not wind downed trees. Some towns got hit good with wind but for a tropical storm, Meh.

Last year on 6/6/11 lightning hit a tree within a few hundred feet of our car...closest I've ever been to a strike and that freaked me out...can't imagine what happened to you...must have been scary.

There were some pretty wide swaths with widespread tree and powerline damage in NE CT, Western CT, and around Old Saybrook. People over estimate windspeeds...and usually give a lack of respect to 50-55mph gusts with foliage on trees. I definitely think there were pockets of severe criteria, but on the whole I doubt it was widespread. You'd have to actually see the all the damage to get a better idea. So many compromised trees and branches will succumb to 45-55 mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
