Pretty impressed how long Larry remained tropical. Still looks like it’s retaining some tropical structure now! I’m sure this was a significant impact for that area

Yeah definitely. I know Teddy was a threat last year in the area but it transitioned way before impact so it was more of a nonevent. Pretty sure Larry caused a lot more damage. It was blazing at 47mph so it didn't last very long so that probably limited some damage lol

How was it up there -- as compared to say a strong mid-winter cyclone?

The winds here were probably like a 1 in 10 to 20 year event. We gusted to 85 knots in a March 2017 low that was 952mb or so and came up the same bay as Larry and that was strongest wind gust here in 40 years. It's the second highest gust for a TC here on record behind Ione in 1955. Far more damage than the March 2017 windstorm though. Probably second behind our snowmaggeden super blizzard in Jan 2019 in terms of anomaly and overall impact.

I still regret not chasing that blizzard. Epic event.

Looking through the pictures on Twitter the damage looks Juan ish. Maybe not quite as bad but close with tree damage and roof/siding damage. The storm surge on the other hand was impressive. 1.5m above high tide is no slouch for around these parts. I think Juan was around 1m and that was a record for here. All in all solid storm with a stout core that seemed bulletproof.

Wow, that's pretty gnarly then. Wasn't immediately obvious that it was going to be quite that bad up there -- but the radar structure on landfall was still pretty tropical in appearance with a partially intact eyewall.
