Define “fixation” on winds; I don’t think anyone is expecting 90 mph sustained or gusts to 100+ but I do think sustained to 45 and gust to 70 are possible to Mt Tolland and given the rainfall in sections of CT the last few months that’s enough to cause some damage.
Even down here not all electric lines aren’t buried but, Florida Power & Light has invested in their network, swapping out most poles to cement including the high tension poles.
I think goal post is CT/RI line to the Cape with more hydro related concerns vs wind. However it won’t take much wind to take down some tree after today.
Interesting to track and easily could go out to sea
