Hurricane Irene - Discussion V

I'm not trying to convince you the wind blew harder on your roof yesterday vs 2005. I'm saying that recorded winds were far greater for an unpredicted, regular old snowstorm in December 2005 over a big portion of SE MA and RI. Nobody got near 100mph winds yesterday around here, even for a few seconds.

If we had those same 100 mph gusts yesterday or even solid 80+ for a few seconds in the same areas it would have been a total disaster. That's all I'm saying.

Power still out in Kingston, have been told not to expect it until possibly Friday. Have never seen such damage to trees and power lines, multiple telephone poles snapped. Being 23 and never experiencing a hurricane before really I definitely under estimated the damage it could cause. Some scary moments on Sunday. To those who did not see much from the storm than I would consider yourself lucky and not be upset you missed it.
