This is what we're left with. Littered with crushed beer cans, weekly flyers, and an old lady's tattered leather glove.

Having a knack for stating the obvious isn't always a bad thing, but Epstein's post was downright bizarre. Other than your property, MOST trees ARE taken down by wind events.
Never feel that way. I root for everyone on this forum to get it, and I hope they do the same for me. We are all individual members of the same team. And what a beautiful team it is.
The only real difference I noticed was more sustained wind in the 20s. But the gusts were unmentionable for the most part. I've had worse without advisories in similar setups.
I had 8 busted spindles on my back deck when I returned from Italy in early July this past year. Not sure when it happened, but it was some point from June20th-July 2nd when I returned. (My weather station went down on June 20th.) I had a pile of 7 steel chairs lying atop one another and a steel table that was moved 30 feet. Never had that happen, and I've had gusts over 60 since I've been here.
Bradley has a decent NW-SE aligned runway for this wind pattern. TF has only that smaller one you don't wanna chance due to the likelihood of a long landing.
Come to CT. We don't need a weather event to lose power on a regular basis. My road literally has poles dating back to the 1920s. They aren't replaced until they come crashing down.
While we're at it, there's also this:
"The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a below normal snowfall for the northern East Coast, and an above normal snowfall for southern areas during the 2024/2025 winter season."
