The Minnesota-to-Maine derecho of July 4-5, 1999 flattened thousands of cords in the Rangeley country, many of which had been established by the 1938 storm, some by the one in 1944.

Re Fishers again, the island had been heavily forested for much of its history, until a huge hurricane in September 1815 blew down virtually every tree and wiped out the native deer population. Then it was used primarily for sheep farming for much of the next few centuries. When my great-great grandparents started going there, it was just sweeping meadows like Block Island. '38 came along, and now it's heavily forested again, just awaiting the next major blowdown. 1635, 1815, 1938...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its destruction began in Quetico-Superior and Boundary Waters, continued overnight thru southern Ontario, reaching Maine about 4 AM and finally becoming non-severe in the BGR area about 7-8 AM. That line would've taken it across the 'Dacks sometime after midnight. Lancaster, NH recorded a gust 90+ and Rangeley one of 80+. My place had a sprinkle and brief 40+ gusts, followed by an oppressively HHH day. Falling trees injured campers at Lake Umbagog in NH and Chain of Ponds in Maine. At Big Eddy campground, just east of Maine's Flagstaff Lake, gusts unstaked a tent and rolled it - with two campers inside - across the campground while trees were coming down all around, none swatting the moving target. My agency salvaged about 2,000 cords of blowdown, working on Richardsontown, Lincoln Plantation, and at Bigelow. Some private landowners suffered even greater damage.

cny rider Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The mother of all Adirondack derechos was this one in 1995: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerechos/casepages/jul1995derechopage.htm I remember it well as we were canoe camping on Middle Saranac Lake that night.

tamarack Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 2 hours ago, Hoth said: That's the one I was thinking of. The 1999 storm barely tickled the northernmost part of New York, as it had a banana-shaped track with the convex side on the north. The Wiki article found on Google ("derecho 1999" brings up several) included an estimate of 25 million trees blown down in the Boundary Waters Wilderness, in a swath 30 miles long and 4-12 miles wide - pics on the SPC article are impressive. So is the account by a NOAA intern who happened to be camping with family at Cupsuptic Lake west of Rangeley. The NWS article said that the system did not fully dissipate in eastern Maine, but went feet-wet and made a long looping clockwise curve to come ashore in SC, with a total track of 6,000 nm. One correction: The 90 mph gust was in Colebrook, NH, not Lancaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
