wxsniss Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 ri waterspout http://www2.turnto10...21311-vi-44200/ Awesome! I know these are not unheard of, but I wonder how many we average / year off New England... We've had at least 2 waterspout events this season: - 8/15/12: Quonset Point, RI - 7/24/12: 3 total off of Plymouth, MA Any I'm forgetting? I thought maybe we had another one earlier in Narragansett Bay but not sure. I'm also impressed how early the Quonset Point waterspout formed, around 8AM, way off the best diurnal dynamics.

Collinsville Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 How strong? beats me. too many trees but they are bending good at times. I'd guess 35-40 kt gusts no prob free car wash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems reasonable, but not so sure about the penny size hail. Strongest part of the storm is about to go over BAF so the metar should confirm shortly.

Damage In Tolland Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 BTW I found my dream home today in CT (at least one that's not on the water) up on Johnnycake Mountain in Burlington near the farm. Incredible view and close to civilization. Elevation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great airmass for them to form though. These really juicy, tropical type airmass with lots of low level CAPE are perfect for stretching the low level vorticity into the horizontal.

wxsniss Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Great airmass for them to form though. These really juicy, tropical type airmass with lots of low level CAPE are perfect for stretching the low level vorticity into the horizontal. I see. Good explanation, and reminds me... I forgot the tropical airmass and low level vorticity 8/10/12... Add the likely KBID waterspout (though not sure that was confirmed): We've had at least 3 waterspout events this season: - 8/15/12: Quonset Point, RI - 8/10/12: off Block Island, RI (not yet confirmed) - 7/24/12: 3 total off of Plymouth, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Dude,, that would be ideal.. Perfect spot for severe and snow. Too soon to sell your place lol? lol a bit.

ChrisM Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 BTW I found my dream home today in CT (at least one that's not on the water) up on Johnnycake Mountain in Burlington near the farm. Incredible view and close to civilization. I bet I know which one. Jeeze the trouble we used to get ourselves in up there in high school... That road that cuts across the farm never had houses on it and it took the cops two years to figure out we hung out up there, ans by then we went to college. You can see bdl from that house over the metacomet range or whatever that's called. The top of that road near the radio tower is about 1150', maybe a tad higher. They get slammed in ice storms...crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
