I never have seen winds this strong in a long time. It was crazy for 5 mins.

Isaias winds were definitely stronger. Isaias was the biggest windstorm since Sandy, it'll be tough to top that one.

isn't that also because of the Spring/King Tide?

Things okay over there JM?  How long did the heavy rain/high winds last?

I'd say that's pretty accurate. Isaias was just a different beast.

Yeah my house was shaking like a boat lol.  The last time I felt that was in Sandy.  I was shocked the power didn't go out.

highest in the area!  Walt, were the sustained winds over 50 when that happened?

Did not check...  but the 70 makes sense... per modeled profile.  Am not surprised.  Rooftop it is... which can also be tree crown top at 30-40 feet above ground level.

picked up a quick 4 thnths of an inch of rain from one of the thinnest lines of showers I've seen in a while...

Looks like the mesonet gusted to 61mph... having some station problems so not too sure of my winds.

it's good that it's on a rooftop to rise above the obstructions lol.  That looks like Brooklyn College to me.

Last I heard was 4200.

Found the location with 83 mph gust- it's in Glen Cove

Isaias had 80 mph gust in Farmingdale.
