ace0927 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 57kts JFK. thats insane.. Im 2 miles away, east...i havent experienced anything of the sort. There are loads of very old/tall trees around me and I was very worried about them..but they have barely had their leaves ruffled... but i guess, like in the winter, everyone always talks about prolific snowfall amounts and im always at half of the others...

Rjay Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Where on the sout shore? There have been multiple busts of 60 mph winds..now he hit the 70s. Its not constant. Its been coming in bursts that last a few mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msalgado Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 How will the massive surge affect wind potential? I'd imagine a lot of energy is being dissipated in moving all of that water and that may lessen the wind threat to some extent? This seems backward to me. In order to move that much water you would have to have a huge and strong wind field. The wind begets the surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 there was just a 57kt gust at JFK so these wind reports albeit on the high side seem pretty legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 People generally overestimate wind speed. Sometimes I wish I could ban all wind estimates and only allow reports from legit weather stations. Montauk gusted to 71...people are accurate.

ace0927 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 there was just a 57kt gust at JFK so its clearly legit. see my responses...im not saying its not right. im just surprised. and there is very little in the way of sustained winds...just stood outside for 3 minutes, one strong gust for 3 seconds.

Sundog Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 What is with the live shots from the Battery? It looks like there's barely any wind at all there meanwhile the winds are howling here and everywhere else. We just lost a full sized healthy tree. Snapped from the base clean off.

pazzo83 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Gonna be on land in the next 2.5 hours? I would guess around 6pm. Its 115mi from ACY, and assuming it maintains about 25-30mph forward speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlestonNYC Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Earlier landfall could be a savior though? I don't think so. That puts NYC harbor in the SE winds as high tide begins to build again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swataz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I find it harder to believe that people have barely a leaf rustling when the wind in Hauppauge is snapping huge limbs every few minutes. let's not get too crazy with the minimizing.

jm1220 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Probably bad news for the surge. Longer duration of strong southerly winds building water up w/earlier landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
