WinterWolf Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Gloria was the best for me. Better than Bob and Irene. From a wind standpoint, it was for me too. Bob didn't do much for my area, and Irene had the rain and flooding. I haven't seen winds like those we had in Gloria, since then..which is 30 years ago. My goodness where does the time go!!

Ginx snewx Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 whats really perplexing to me as a geek observer is one look at the animated WV and I'd guess East Coast hit. Thank god for modeling. I would be nervous as hell today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I can't believe the amount of calls and texts emails from folks about the Hurricane coming here this weekend. I haven't seen the news or read much outside of our forum , is there a message out there saying to expect a cane? where besides the cone is this coming from. Ummm... the NHC.

CoastalWx Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 But to Ray's point, look what a lousy TS does to our infrastructure. It wasn't an intense storm by any means, it's because of our infrastructure and building that makes it a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Point is, it was a Huge deal for CT and VT and Upstate NY Ray. One of the worst for CT until two months later when the Treepocolypse hit with a foot of Cement-Snow. Just as much W MA in case you forgot.

Ginx snewx Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 That is what is killing me. I probably should have taken a break today because I'm irritable. lol its all good man. I know lots of our group loves to see direct hits. I guess over the years dealing with damage at home and at work and understanding what a costly PITA it ends up being I just don't have that lust anymore. I mean I love the power, love trying to outsmart the computers , love the raw beauty just am very happy to not have to deal with the aftermath. If any of those MA NJ runs were to come to fruition that would have been a complete sh it show for them. We would be talking about isabel surge with Agnes flooding. Pretty sure the country doesn't need that . I understand the disappointment though, been there done that but have a different perspective now.

Irene was pretty weak sauce for winds compare to historical storms that hit SNE. It was slow moving tho which really ramped up the surge impact in LI sound and the rain in western New England. If it had not been a mangled mess and instead was much stronger wind-wise, there would have been a lot more problems outside the surge impact area.

Ginx snewx Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Ummm... the NHC. Are TV stations and radio just saying there is going to be a hurricane. It started around 7 am this morning, almost like they all heard the same message. Have to think last nights GFS run of a Sandy was disseminated somewhere.

I'm in a relative safe haven here in Wilmington...all it does is snow. I think that is why I can be insensitive RE the effects on people from time to time. I mean, there were some trees down on roofs in Gloria, but not mine. That is the worst I have seen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yea, I acted like an idiot. My bad.....I guess I'm just too focused on how impressive the system itself is. But 20 miles to his East was plastered with triple digits of snowfall. That's what bothers him the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton of damage for a TS, its not just winds that can cause problems. I mean some of the most overall damaging situations besides 38 were ts effects like Diane and Connie in 55. Point being even a weak cane can be loads of trouble in an area that rarely sees them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I really wish NHC would just move the dang cone east, I'm seeing some ridiculous hype out there and it is sickening. People that don't understand weather go by these generated maps. The hype and drama is over. The ratings boon is not gonna happen. Back to regularly scheduled programming folks.

I am totally with you all the more reason I love snow. Sure there are traffic issues and people die from cold and heart attacks etc, but as a societal impact does not compare to Tors and canes.

Snowedin Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So you guys are saying there's still an outside chance of eastern mass impact? Even just a little bit of wind? I'm so desperate for a tropical system to hit right now. At this point I could use a 3 year break from winter after the bombardment we had last winter lol. Edit: I guess now that I think about it maybe its for the best that we're spared the worst. I'd rather not go a week without power again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlantStickers Anonymous Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Do we have any NHC mets on the board who could comment on their reasoning with the cone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Foliated trees though. Makes it worse than it is really. We live in a forested landscape for a reason, one being they can survive because of the infrequency of severe winds. Not quite understanding the worse than it really is though. Sort of like saying a cake snow storm with 65 mph winds is worse than it really is than a dry powder at 65. The environmental conditions determine the damage scale not some human defined wind scale.

ackwaves Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm reminded of Noel in 2007 by this storm. A home brew that whacked Nantucket and the outer Cape but nowhere else. This may be further OTS than that one, though. 4'-6' seas in Nantucket Harbor with gusts over 100mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
