Ginx snewx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Well at least it will be a COC week. Good thing as no AC on genny. Keeping the freezers going is the priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 This backside wind is pretty impressive. Probably the strongest wind-blown rain yet just moved in with classic NW flow. That increase is lighting up some heavy showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Had about an hour of impressive winds for this part of the CRV. Glad power is on. Just over 1” of rain . Grateful we escaped any high winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBeard Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So many roads closed in town. Just saw a FB post it took someone almost an hour to get to Ludlow (usually a 10 minute drive) due to all the road closures. Waiting to hear if the Quabbin access road is open. No point in trying to do anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a very impressive maple up the street from me that looks like it was stepped on by a giant. Just shredded, and most of it on my neighbor's house.

This one was a crusher Forecasts for this were 100% spot on. I don't think they could have been any better. You gotta put things into perspective...sure we get several 50-60 mph wind events a year...but just about all of them occur from fall - spring...when trees aren't fully leaved. When it became obvious how long we were going to be ripping 50-60+ mph gusts you knew we were in for some serious damage. Even an hour of 50-60+ mph gusts in the summer is going to do significant damage. All you have to do is picture what 50-60 mph t'storm gusts do...which last maybe a few minutes at most to understand what this was going to do.

This is serious an extremely scary thought. I think the scariest aspect of it is how the general public would respond to these communications.
