NJHurricane Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Guess I'm eating crow for breakfast well....it is kinda debatable..but who am I to argue with NHC? btw, do not mean to make light of the situation...got friends, family, coworkers throughout this state dealing with real issues from this thing...if I could give this storm back in a second I would, but the hobbyist in me also appreciates the rarity of this... Ray...any update on these winds working up from maryland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Channel 10 reporting landfall this morning at Little Egg Inlet. I did not notice the exact time, but it was a few minutes past 6am. Amazed that we are completely dry inside and didn't lose power once. Still a bit to go and we could get some cranking westerlies, but the worst is over. Looks like the euro will have done pretty well on track, at least through our area... See above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The worse is over for the Lehigh Valley...finally. I sure hope so. The Little Lehigh is approaching Floyd levels and is currently the third highest I've seen it in 14 years. Unless it rains hard for a sustained time, it is difficult to maintain that level indefinitely since it's a small watershed. I expect it to rise to Floyd level barring any unforeseen deluge, which I guess is always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray...any update on these winds working up from maryland? Looking at the mesonet and ASOS obs, it looks like an area of gusts into the high 40s extends from central Delaware, across northeast Maryland and into south-central Pennsylvania. Waiting to see if that translates east. Haven't seen any gusts to 50+ except along the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay, so that may be an indication that gusts into the 50 mph range are gonna be hard to come by as this moves in... we'll just have to wait and see. Much of northeast Maryland is pretty ob-sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 All things considered, most of the area (save shore points and of course cent/s Del) dodged a huge bullet with this one. Euro about 50 miles too far West. GFS FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Really getting some good gusts now as the storm makes what might be it's closest approach to my area. Estimating in the range of 30-40 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslotted Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 See above. Thanks, the way they "broke" it on the air it appeared as if it were just being reported. Should have known better, but was just getting coffee . Either way, first time in 108 years, pretty cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptb127 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The worse is over for the Lehigh Valley...finally. It's not over yet... the storm still has to pivot and bring the rain shield around, just because there is a brief dryslot doesn't mean it's over.

The rain shield is breaking up to the SW and the worse is over. This isn't a winter storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 172829 w/o power from PPL....that's insane! Just 2 hours ago it was at 93,000 so it almost doubled in that timeframe.

kpantz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Waking up to less rain than expected so far, but still managed to have water into my basement by the front of the house. Also pushed in under my front door. Ugh. Would have preferred a downed tree or two. Delaware at Easton seems to be rising ahead of forecast, but anyone else thinking it'll start receding ahead of forecast and not crest at 32ft?
