This may be the first time we had effects from the same named hurricane twice in the same decade.

We had Hurricane Isaias for the first time in 2020. Now it looks like we’ll see the remnants of Isais later Sunday into Monday.

If we can get some measurable rain by Sunday evening, it will mean most weekends since early July had rain.

Thought the name was familar. Any reason why they would repeat an odd name so soon

The names only get retired if they cause significant enough effects. While the first Isaias gave me my strongest wind gusts to 78 mph back in SW Suffolk, it didn’t produce wide enough damage as a weaker hurricane and then tropical storm to have the name retired. Many big majors get retired along with weaker systems which produce historic rainfall.

I remember, not only for the strong southerly wind as it passed to our west but that wind brought the ocean spray so far inland and killed the foliage on many of the south facing side of the trees.

Being in southwest Suffolk I can tell you how serious Isaias was here. We had no power for about 8 days. Trees down everywhere. It was worse than Sandy for us personally

The same by me in Commack. Lots a bunch of trees. Sandy was much worse. But Isaias was very destructive

Luckily, my power was only out for 24 hrs. Took down a bunch of trees. But borderline TS to Cat 1 systems don’t get retired unless they cause historic flooding like Agnes in 1972.

I remember being on the phone and watching a huge tree come down behind my backyard. That was an intense few hours. Luckily up here the heavy rain and intense winds are completely separate in tropical systems.

Same thing here. On the phone and hear a huge crash next door. 3 huge oak trees all went down and only missed their house because 2 of them landed on another tree and held them up.

My neighbors tree fell and took out a pole. PSEG had no poles. An out of state crew replaced it 8 days later. 
 

the tree that fell was hollow and had the largest carpenter ant nest I’ve ever seen. Because of that tree falling during the storm my property was inundated with carpenter ants. Had no choice to get an exterminator they were on the house from that stupid storm
