  1. I was outside of my house that night listening to it roar overhead. I have never heard anything like that before or since.
  2. It’s amazing how short people’s memories are. Numerous wind gusts to hurricane force across LI including 90 mph at Islip. Just about Every road and train tunnel to Manhattan flooded out. 53 people dead in NY. $40 billion + in damages. Massive damage along the NJ shore. With regards to its status at landfall I think that had to do with politics. Insurance companies had to pay more due to it being classified as other than a hurricane (my opinion).
  3. No full moon out here. The moisture from Henri has circled all the way around from CT, SE NY, and northern NJ and found it’s way to eastern PA. It’s been pouring out here tonight after a drizzly day. 2.01” on the day so far.
  4. The attached photo is of the ferry dock at Cherry Grove on Fire Island. The dock is typically at least 3’ above the mean water level. In this shot it’s almost even with the dock. It looks like the storm surge warnings verified.
  5. Pressure now down at SE light to 989 mb.
  6. I am sorry- I was referring to the location of the station as being on Block Island and using BID as an acronym. My bad.
  7. No - they are from a station on WU at Southeast Light at Mohegan Bluffs. It’s a Davis Vantage Vue mounted on a pole on a roof top.
  8. Pressure at BID down to 992 mb. Recent wind gust to 68 mph.
  9. BID just gusted to 66 mph.
  10. You have to go out to eastern Suffolk to find strong winds. I found a station out in Baiting Hollow at Reeves Beach on WU overlooking the Sound with a recent gust to 49 mph.
  11. Following two WU stations on BID as the NW eyewall of Henri approaches. Highest gusts are 54 and 56 mph.
  12. Following two WU stations on BID as the NW eyewall of Henri approaches. Highest gusts so far are 54 and 56 mph.
  13. I checked the Davis site for stations in midtown. Multiple reports of 1.5 to 2” with one report of over 3”.
  14. I looked at the Davis site for stations in midtown. Multiple reports of 1.5” to 2” so far. One report of over 3” posted.
  15. That was related to the sting jet that set up to the south and west of the center.
  16. The NAM led the way east a few runs ago. Now the 06z NAM says I don’t think so. This track has been closely related to the intensity of the storm. In the 5am advisory the NHC noted that the shear is finally beginning to relax. I am guessing that the NAM is seeing that and the resulting greater intensity potential and hence the move back west. If the storm does intensify today there could be some potentially threatening model runs for LI and the remainder of the region. In any case the strongest winds with this event will be felt along the south shore and the east end particularly along the barrier beaches. At 5am the NHC discontinued the hurricane watch for most of SE MA including Cape Cod. They reiterate that conditions will be favorable for strengthening for the next 12-18 hours. Hurricane conditions are expected to begin late tonight or Sunday for parts of LI and CT. The next recon is due into the storm at 1200 UTC.
  17. Not entirely correct. Wind will be more of a factor on eastern LI. All coastal areas will be be at some degree of risk from storm surge impacts. NWS is expecting up to a 2’ foot storm surge along the south shore of Nassau to 3’ out in the Hamptons. This is why they have issued a storm surge watch.
  18. It was at 915 mb at 45 hours while east of OC. Winds with that type of pressure would make this a Cat 5. Good thing it’s fantasy.
  19. Wow. I am thinking we may be looking at a 100 mph hurricane east of the Virginia coast during the day on Saturday. Full moon aligns with high tide Sunday morning along the coast. I hope for the sake of the Metro area that if it hooks to the north and west it does so towards New England.
