Other than the hurricane force gust at FRG and the LBI gust, what other hurricane force gusts have there been in this area? The winds definitely did verify if not the craziness the Euro/UKMET had. 

Gilgo had a 76 mph gust.  I'm sure there were others but we won't know.

There are insane amount of down trees and lines calls coming from the NYPD dispatcher right now.

this storm booked outta here like a one night stand.

[dWave]

Pretty extensive power outages on the Con Ed map.  Some traffic lights out around here. I'm told neighborhoods just to east closer to I-95 near co op city with widespread power outages.

Sun out like a light switch , clouds racing through

[Nibor]

Sun is out. Winds howling again. 

[SRRTA22]

ok this is most definitely a sting jet. 50-60mph gusts 

 

[forkyfork]

ewr 59 mph

[psv88]

Pseg outage map isn’t updating.

Still some massive gusts 

[forkyfork]

[Nibor]

Wow winds here are comparable to what we had earlier today. Impressive.

wow  I think its worse, and more sustained strong winds

Cant say I've ever experienced powerful winds with bright sunshine in the summer before. If it wasn't for the greenery it's look more like a powerful cold frontal passage in November

Thanks, make sense based on the visual reports I'm hearing.

How’d you make out?

[tiger_deF]

Now that Isaias is moving out would you all say this busted under, over, or roughly as predicted?

[tdp146]

I’m going to guess this is the sting jet. Things have escalated again. 

[eduggs]

Two lessons learned (hopefully):

1) 60 mph+ wind gusts are very damaging.

2) Be suspicious of modeled 60 mph+ winds away from immediate shorelines.

Sky clearing out in one swoop, the whole mass of clouds is just racing away.
