They’re even at the marina today. I’ve been there for 40 years, never seen one there or anywhere in the sound even.

40 years since Massachusetts west of the Cape has had a hurricane..Never thought after Gloria (which was largely a disappointment here) it would be 40+ years for the next strike. And I’m not even saying it had to be a Cat 3 at landfall. Ever a weak 2 or strong 1 would have been fine. Is a 40 year drought like that typical around here?

I thought Gloria was good relatively speaking. Better than Bob. No power for like 5 days or so.

That EPS pattern is not one to get a cane up here. Ridge is too far east over the plains and you need a deeper trough a little bit further west than where the mean is showing it right now. Probably better for florida or the southeast.

Smoke worse today? Can’t even see sun through it. 
Edit: might be some clouds out there.

A strong Cat 1 or greater will be devastating here because of the tree growth we have had since Bob and the fact that most people are not prepared for extended power loss. One thing learned from my time in FL is that a majority of people had some sort of disaster kit, the state offered two tax free weekends where you can stock up on Hurricane related supplies.  We are long over due here and people are not ready.

We haven’t had a hurricane strike but we’ve been pretty active. Irene, Sandy, Fay, Isaias, Henri…not to mention all of the Atlantic Canada strikes including their storm of record (Fiona). It just hasn’t been high end for us, which I do think is unusual given the number of hits.

That no name super nor’easter which might as well have been a cat 2 hurricane, absolutely decimated our area back in oct 2021. I’ve never seen such destruction nor felt as unsettled from a storm as I did that night. Not something I’m keen on experiencing again anytime soon but I’ll take a good slow moving soaker with some steamy and modestly tropical influenced winds to go!

Yeah, honestly, that storm may have done worse damage than Bob and Gloria lol. You’re absolutely right, had to see it to believe it.

Yeah it's always location location location. Irene actually did more damage than any of them in my woods but while it was going on didn't seem like much.
