Now a days you have massive mobilizations of crews from out of state, the power wouldn’t be out for more than a few weeks. My town had no power for a month because of the power infrastructure problem FL will be dealing with. Places that didn’t flood in Sandy did get the power back in a week or so, and crews from IN and MO were in my town working on it. In areas that had saltwater intrusion into any power infrastructure it likely needs to be rebuilt entirely. Anything electric/metallic, the salt water destroys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still in this path, and have to sift through 40 posts about FL damage, climate ramblings, etc. to see any discussion on future Ian. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Some places preemptively cut the power in FL where surge intrusion was expected, which was probably a very good call if it happened. Another mistake my town made was keeping the power grid on even as the surge was charging in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too will be impacted by its remnants this weekend, but you don't see me asking for information about that here. I go to my subforum.

No one... I mean absolutely no one... should be using social media to make decisions. We have an entire agency devoted to providing that information. This place is for the average person to discuss the weather, it's impacts, and related topics. It so happens that a few mets have nothing better to do with their time and like to join in, too. It gets off topic at times. Cope. No one is forcing you to be here. Imagine complaining about "dirtying" up a thread while.... being guilty of the same. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had the pressure of a Cat 3, huge overall size and the funneling effect of NY Harbor and back bays to channel in the surge. The winds weren’t Cat 3 level but the same energy was just spread over a larger area. The surge was devastating for millions of people. Actual Hurricane Gloria made landfall in my town and was nowhere near as bad, as well as actual borderline TS/Hurricane Irene. Again there’s no magic delineator between “non-tropical” and “tropical” that defines how dangerous a storm is. It’s why so many changes were made to the NHC products after Sandy. My hometown on a barrier island had scores of people that stayed because they heard “Sandy won’t even be a hurricane” when it gets here. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy was about as extreme as you will ever get up this way. Numerous gusts over 90mph for many hours.

Locally we had hours of 50-60 mph gust before the 80-90 mph gusts came in-the former certainly weakened many limbs and trees, the bigger gusts finished them off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true tropical major couldn’t survive up this way. I'm not saying Sandy wasn't a very impactful storm BUT I still believe a CAT 3 or higher in SNE would cause even worse devastation. The original post was about some individuals in the SNE subforum who want/wish for a Cat 3 or higher to hit SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, forgive me, Lord Stanton. While I fear it may be too late for me, I pray that you take mercy on my family for disrupting your personal aggregation of information. GMAFB and get over yourself. Make a folder of links in your browser like the rest of us. Or, better yet, get off AmWx, learn some html, and put your own site together. It isn't difficult. Also, I'd caution against using social media met hurricane commentary from a broadcast met in Bumfuck, Alaska for anything other than entertainment (No offense meant to any mets, here. Just, being a met != being a tropical expert ) 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
