  1. Wouldn't rooftop stations give us inaccurate readings due to elevation?
  2. Different types of root systems on sycamores than oaks would be my guess on why the sycamores survived. Oaks I know have a lateral root system that are not deep. You cut one of those main lateral roots, and you have weakened that entire side. Add in soaking rains, softening the soil, the winds, and you get trees falling like they did in the picture.
  3. What the heck happened to the entire first floor of that second picture.
  4. I bet the roots of that tree were cut on the sidewalk side, because it was lifting the sidewalk up, then the sidewalk repaired. I am saying this because we do not see the sidewalk lifted up by the tree falling. When I was a kid we had the problem where the town cut the roots on the curb side. Hurricane Belle blew thru, and the tree fell away from the street as a result of the weakened root structure.
  5. Bunch of rumbles of thunder, and now the skies have absolutely opened up.
  6. We have had some nice rumbles of thunder by me in NJ.
  7. Skies are starting to darken by me. Mets have postponed their game for tonight, so I guess they are expecting enough rain to come thru Flushing Queens this evening. I would not mind a good thunderstorm.
  8. Looks like Barry will be on shore around 1am Monday.
  9. Is there any link to this news? I want to be able to share it around. Thanks.
  10. I would love to get a weekend pattern where both Saturday, and Sunday are warm, sunny.
  11. Did any models predict these mesoscale storms?
  12. Will we get an old fashioned heat wave with 90+ temps that lasts at least 5 days?
  13. How much of a sea breeze will there be in places like Long Branch NJ on Monday?
  14. Thankfully they are conscious, and alert. Taken to hospital as a precaution.
  15. Skies grew dark here in Riverdale, NJ, but the storm missed us. Not even a few drops of rain, or a flash of lightning, rumble of thunder.
  16. Where does LGA have its weather station now? Those tarmacs can definitely skew any temperatures upwards.
  17. I wonder if we will get an old fashioned heat wave, 5+ days of 90+ temps, coming up this weekend in to next week.
  18. The heat index predicted for Sun - Tues are very dangerous. Take care of yourselves those days everyone.
  19. Not directly related to what is discussed here, but still important, given the weather predictions coming up. If not appropriate to post here, I apologize in advance.
  20. Those temperature swings are insane. I am surprised no cattle or humans were killed or seriously injured by a heat burst that raised the temp 40 degrees in 5 minutes. I cannot think of any way that a heat burst like that could be predicted.
  21. Any chances of a pattern change coming up, so we can get a nice weekend for a change? I am craving sitting by the community pool, getting my vitamin D from the sun.
