In a few hours this storm will be past our latitude, so things will begin winding down at lunch time. I'm not far from the center of the storm, and it's not all that bad.

OSUmetstud Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 looks like the best winds in the "hurricane" are located in those two bands to the south of LI...the one south of Westhampton Beach and the one SSE of Montauk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looks like the center is over water just SE of Sandy Hook NJ. The southern half of the storm looks non-existent.

snowman21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Up to 380,000 now, large increase in short time. Yeah guess it's probably going to get a lot worse inland as they still have hours left of the storm. Looks like the center of circulation is right on the south shore of Long Island now, so by 10-11 AM this thing should be north of the CT shore's latitude.
