@psv88what were the winds on your weather station when this hit?  Looks like some nice straight line winds from storm of around 50-60 mph based on your videos.

weather station is horrible getting wind, recorded a gust to 18 lol. Winds must have been over 60, trees that survived Sandy were crushed. That backyard video is from a tightly enclosed space surrounded by fences and houses, so getting that much wind is absurd. Based on local wind reports, my personal experience, etc i would estimate top wind gust came in around 70 mph, maybe a bit higher on some blocks. FRG recorded 51 gust and ISP 54, neither of which took a hit from the main cell. There were also gusts over 70 recorded along CT coast, and north shore LI, so around 70 seems fair. Also saw some siding ripped off of houses, which probably wouldnt happen with winds under 60

Made 2 Youtube videos from my security cameras. Action starts around 14:21:30, ramps up thereafter. Can see the trees come down in the backyward shot. 

 

Impressive. Wow. Looks like gusts easily over 60 mph. Any official measurements clocked anywhere?

Nws storm reports has some gusts from mesonet and wxflow over 70, a bunch over 60. But there are no official sites within path of cell. Closest was ISP gusted to 54. Some of the concentrated damage in my area indicated winds over 60. Honestly worse than anything I saw in Sandy

...we really dodge a bullet out here in eastport/westhampton dunes..

first 1 missed east.

second 1 missed west.

after the first one came thru i was amazed how quickly it cleared out..deep blue skies,

wind dropped off..we were tempted to go back to the beach..but looking north i said no way.

all in all quite an interesting weather day..

No power at my place since the storm and estimated to stay that way until tonight. The damage doesn’t look terrible in my neighborhood (some large branches and limbs down) but a huge branch came down in the worst possible spot and knocked out several power lines to the homes on my side of the street. 

The damage I’m seeing reminds of me of the Mar 2010 nor’easter that had 70-80 mph wind in Long Beach.

^^^^ wow that is absolutely gorgeous 

I swear it was close to putting down a waterspout but I wasn't far enough east to stay drive so I went back to my car

This is another view of the approach of that cell that you posted earlier.

quite the drive around commack. tons of damage, some structural siding ripped off, etc. Winds to about 75-80 seem right

There is a WU station in East Northport that recorded a wind gust to 35 Mph as the storm approached just before 3pm.  It is an Ambient station.  I have an Ambient and a Weatherflow close to each other here and knowing the enhanced capability of the Weatherflow to measure gusts I would argue 50 - 60 mph.  My brother lives in East Northport between Clay Pitts and 5th.  In any case his street looks like a war zone with tree damage at least as bad as what you received.

that area of East Northport got slammed as well. Interesting drive to work today, many side streets still blocked off by trees and powerlines. I think our area saw localized gusts at or close to 70. Ive been through, Sandy, Irene, other storms with winds to 60, and this was on par with the worst of em. You dont see 100 foot oak trees snap at the trunk in 50 mph winds. A small tree can be uprooted, but not 4 foot in diameter tree trunks in health trees. The siding ripped from houses, nowhere near trees, indicates winds over 60. That initial burst of winds had immense power like nothing i have ever seen before, and we get strong winds out here very often.

Also, you cant take WU wind meters for shit. I have a Davis but the anenometer is 2 m off the ground and surrounded by trees and a fence.

I am not disagreeing with you on the WU wind meters.  That is why I compared it to a Weatherflow.  I also have a Davis but I can tell you that the Weatherflow uses a technology that better measures wind speed.  We had a severe storm here on Saturday.  The Ambient measured 23 mph.  The Weatherflow measured 32 mph.  These instruments are about 4 feet apart.

You need to move it to the roof and have it on tripod post. I should give you crap for your anemometer not being sited correctly :P

I was out in bayshore last night and there were several trees down and lots of branches. I would estimate that area saw winds around 60. At home in wantagh we had stronger winds sat then sun. I would think 40-50 sat with small branches down. One fell right on my zucchini’s and broke some stems.

Then you remember to add the lightning protection and pretty soon you need an electrician. Roof tripods are not that simple.

I drive through Hauppauge and Commack today and the tree damage looked pretty severe. You go any distance west of me and there’s almost no damage. My neighborhood seems to be where the wind damage really started. My power just came on 30 mins ago.

I mounted mine on a shed.  I grounded it with an 8’ 1/2” copper grounding rod purchased from HD and connected it with #6 coated stranded copper wire.

Much of my immediate neighborhood still has no power and some roads are still blocked off. I drove to the Walt Whitman mall today and back and there was almost no damage west of exit 42 on the NSP. Saw some damage just east of the mall but mainly small branches etc. Commack is still a war zone. I’m still convinced we gusted to around 70

I really think it was a microburst that affected both commack and huntington.

Yep, I did all that.  It won’t stop lightning but it’ll stop insurance company from saying it wasn’t grounded.  Worth the $$$$.
