Mr Torchey Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 And it was a tropical storm. Imagine what a cat 3 would do....... Ryan I was talking to a fireman, the surge on reef rd stopped about 20 yds short of 92, however on the peninsula, where they lost either 3 or 4 homes to the sound (completely gone) and over by Penfield jennings the surge was worse. I was walking through waist and chest deep water to get on top of a deck to take the shots of the waves, but almost 8/10 of a mile walk back down Penfield Rd, 8/10 of a mile is an impressive surge. Looks to have been right around 7-8 ft here. Incredible!!!!!!!!! (check out the pics in the damage thread if you have not yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Finally had a tree go down in the woods in the backyard, but the wind wasn't very strong at the time. I assume it was just waiting to fall after the ~8" of rain we've had in the last 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 For those who were disappointed the storm wasn't worse I'll just let you know that much of Franklin Co. is currently experiencing historic flooding. Bad situation. I'll post pics in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Maybe if something really bad happens people will be satisfied. Yeah, no sh*t.

ski MRG Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Reports of propane tanks being broken free by flood waters here. Truly a dangerous situation still unfolding. Really hope the backlash doesn't whirl in here. It's already raining hard enough with only light radar returns. Hands down the worst flooding I've seen here.

dendrite Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Guys...we don't need morality posts. Weenies hoping for their homes to blow apart don't control the weather. As weather lovers it's all in our nature to love extreme forms of weather. Stay safe Pete. There's a lot of rainfall even in the lower elevations there.

Most of us want to see extreme weather, but when it happens in your own geographical proximity, it certainly hits home. It's not funny at all when you walk out your front door and see destruction.

40/70 Benchmark Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Pictures coming out of my hometowns of Guilford and Branford look really bad. Places flooded for the first time since 1938. Wind damage was serious even though the winds were short of Gloria. Wet soil and long duration made the outages worse. By the time we're done we'll probably be near 800k w/o power.. by far a new record. Yes, I appreciate that it's a grave situation down in coastal sw CT....but this thing def. could have been alot worse, which is what is so scary....good luck w recovery down there.
