    This is mostly straight line wind damage. The large area of strong wind reports and radar presentation would strongly support that. I do believe that after Upton does their damage survey that there will be a spot or two where winds will have been determined to reach close to 100 mph.

    Big stuff went down out there on the Island tonight. The lack of posts on this thread in the past half hour speaks for itself as most are offline now.

    A gust to 65 mph was measured in the vicinity of the Sayville Ferry dock (Weather Underground).

    Have some wind reports to share from Fire Island from tonight’s event: Fire Island Light 46 mph Fair Harbor 46 mph Atlantique 40 mph Point of Woods 40 mph Cherry Grove 40 mph Fire Island Pines 35 mph These gusts all occurred around 10 pm. It is amazing that these stations are still up and reporting after this event.

    The cell that popped near Allentown a short while ago dropped a quick 0.96” here. No strong winds or CTG lightning with it however.

    I have a station mounted at my brother’s house at Cherry Grove. It gusted to 26 mph at 8pm. It’s mounted slightly below the roof line so it does not get the full exposure to the wind. Based upon how it is set up I would estimate actual winds gusted to 40 mph there at that time.

    Shelf cloud from earlier with the second round of storms.

    Lots of lightning just to my SW as the next batch of storms approaches.

    I think the storms over Allentown will head to the city First round of storms were good rain producers - rec'd 0.67" with that round which is reforming in western and NW NJ. Lightning was minimal here but saw a nice shelf cloud as it arrived with a wind gust to 20 mph. Skies darkening here as the second round gets going near Allentown and heads our way.

    I think it weakens. But that is a ton of rain over PA. Hopefully we don't get into that because it would be flash flooding. It's only moving around 20 mph. Plenty of rain out here today with on and off convection. Nice shelf cloud with the latest feature that moved through about 7:15pm. 1.10” on the day. NWS has a FFW for my area.

    I mounted mine on a shed. I grounded it with an 8’ 1/2” copper grounding rod purchased from HD and connected it with #6 coated stranded copper wire.

    Correction - the picture I posted earlier was taken at the Patchogue Marina. This storm put down pea sized hail over at Fire Island Pines. You don’t hear too many reports of hail on Fire Island.

    I am not disagreeing with you on the WU wind meters. That is why I compared it to a Weatherflow. I also have a Davis but I can tell you that the Weatherflow uses a technology that better measures wind speed. We had a severe storm here on Saturday. The Ambient measured 23 mph. The Weatherflow measured 32 mph. These instruments are about 4 feet apart.

    There is a WU station in East Northport that recorded a wind gust to 35 Mph as the storm approached just before 3pm. It is an Ambient station. I have an Ambient and a Weatherflow close to each other here and knowing the enhanced capability of the Weatherflow to measure gusts I would argue 50 - 60 mph. My brother lives in East Northport between Clay Pitts and 5th. In any case his street looks like a war zone with tree damage at least as bad as what you received.

    This was taken at the Patchogue Marina.

    I swear it was close to putting down a waterspout but I wasn't far enough east to stay drive so I went back to my car This is another view of the approach of that cell that you posted earlier.
  17. Tatamy
    Nice hail cores currently with storms near Trenton, NJ and Pottstown, PA.
  18. Tatamy
    Plenty of lightning with these storms. Over 700 strikes in the past three hours on my Weatherflow detector.
  19. Tatamy
    After the event that I had here last Sunday night I would have no problem if this ends up being a non event.
  20. Tatamy
    20z HRRR has a quick moving cluster of storms that would cross parts of the area around 10pm.
  21. Tatamy
    Squall line is stretching it. Ten lightning strikes on my Weatherflow in the past hour.
  22. Tatamy
    Minimal lightning activity so far with the cell just west of Allentown PA.
  23. Tatamy
    Lots of rain and loud booming thunder with these storms so far.
  24. Tatamy
    Real nice lightning storm in progress here right now. It’s all CTC however.
  25. Tatamy
    Received 0.72” with the overnight storms. Highest wind gust 29 mph at 3 am.
