Holy shit in East Greenwich.

Assuming an 18" bar, a chain travelling 90 ft/s, and a human reaction time of 200ms, ~430 cutters would make contact with your body before you were able to react. I imagine that would be significantly higher if you were drinking.

What are you running for saws?

WPC 7 day QPF. Fairly robust

Looks like around 2” so far in East Greenwich.

Saw the fuse pop on the power line outside my office. Loud blast when it tripped. Power out in East Greenwich.

Spring cankerworms did a serious number on the oak trees on my property. I was surprised that many of the leaves grew back. Hopefully the cankerworms don't come back because I'm not sure how many years of that abuse they can handle. Especially after the gypsy moths from a few years back.

2.13" in East Greenwich

0.62" in the gauge in East Greenwich. My dad down in Westerly had 1.49" as of about 20 minutes ago.

5 years in NC and I can tell you the heat and humidity are relentless. The same way people feel about getting depressed when the sun sets early, cold, etc, up here is how I was starting to feel about summer down there. 4 months or so of pain.

Vs. by Mission of Burma is one of my favorite albums of all time.

0.91" overnight in East Greenwich

Looking over the bathymetric data for that area, it's crazy shallow so large diurnal swings with high maxima don't seem too crazy to me. Like Dendrite pointed out, we only have recorded data for about 4 years so who knows if its common or uncommon. Unfortunately the NDBC owned stations don't have temperature sensors which is a bummer since they would likely have datasets stretching much further back.
