Like here, edge of dry slot gravity waves along with embedded mesos. I watched whole good oaks bend completely over with one gust, thats when I saw a blue flash twice. I was looking out the back with my hand held spot light at the time. The blue flash was a tree branch on the power lines across the street blowing the breaker on the transformer. Cool stuff.
We have had multiple SE big wind events here since Irene. The demise of the oak forest is in full swing. Acres of dead trees.
Seems according to Botany org research says 55 mph is the magic number for foliated trees to snap. All trees no matter the species snap at 90 mph according to Physics today.
Follow the mesos paths, highest gusts and most damage. Radar velocity, vorticity mesoanalysis, highest gusts, most damage. Damage was worst with each east meso traveling along the wind shift line.
My driveway is covered in bark blown off my neighbors dead oaks. That same oak lost its top in the storm and killed our power for 60 hours. Gonna be a long winter.
Coming up on a crucial period for the battered coast. 2 major erosion events already this Oct. Super high tides end the month. Have to keep a close eye on any major event popping up
At a million five a mile good luck, rural roads two miles long with 3 houses , million per house. It’s prohibitive. Repairs to underground’s if failures happen are long expensive and hard to diagnose. It isn’t easy. Maybe in cities and close tightly packed burbs yes but expect to pay through the nose for retrofitting.
You are the strangest person ever on a weather board. My thread, my reputation, lol yea ok. Let me quote someone, I have no reputation to uphold”. Christine was right.
Just goes to show its voodoo yet you see it on every media outlet there is. They never go back and judge it. Nothing gets fact checked in the media weather world
Why even bother clicking on the thread. Interesting to read this thread from after my first post on how dismissive people are at consistent model outputs.
Get a generator, if this happened in winter it would be a major issue. Since Irene I have now lost power 14 times varying from 8 hrs to 6 days. Power just came on here.
3 mesos, first one caused considerable damage in SWCT and Springfield area to VT 2nd SW RI SE Ct to NECT to west of ORH. 3rd the strongest hit from Cape Cod to Maine. I annoted the circulations
