wxsniss Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How do you know that Read just below the video at the same link: Updated: Saturday, 27 Aug 2011, 11:09 PM EDT Published : Saturday, 27 Aug 2011, 10:13 PM EDT MYFOXNY.COM - A local news reporter from Washington, D.C. ended up getting covered in what is probably the remnants of raw sewage as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md. WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him. Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That "organic material" was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm. "It doesn't taste great," he said. He said it had a sandy consistency and added, "I can tell you first-hand, it doesn't smell great." The foam is often a toxic mix of pollution and cyanobacteria.

wxsniss Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Believe. MattNoyesNECN Matt Noyes Look up/down E.Coast-can't find a hurricane force wind? Hunters show wind on east side. First 74+ gust report MAY be NewEng.4 minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm 30 and I can, but this hardly warrants it. For someone like me......Warrents it a bit. She still a hurricane. So hope is alive.......a blizzard that dumps 20"with 40 mph winds happens once every 4 years. a hurricane impacting NE.....once every 20....

wxsniss Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Cool feature... check out the red line of very intense rainfall south coast of NJ Weather Channel was also wondering what that could be... they speculate it's intense convection trigger by strong winds close to center jamming against coastline and rising. Anyone see this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Ok was just outside on bridge that crosses over Merrimack River. ESE winds of prob 5-10 with light rain. Also there appeared to be cloud to cloud lightning to the SSW. But may have been Cloud to Ground and just too far away to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Damn, that storm was smashing for a while, I believe my peak wind gust was 57 mph, and I had only one power surge that I thought blew out my computer. Only one hour of sleep in me, I wont sleep until this is over. Heart's been beating hard for hours. Live coverage on NBC Connecticut was intense for awhile, especially in Old Saybrook. Stay safe guys! What's your location? Time of the gust too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
