Blue Hill had a sustained wind of 121mph and a gust of 186mph during the 1938 hurricane.
-
The strongest wind recorded in NYC was from hurricane Hazel as it passed hundreds of miles to the west, 113mph.
-
Beautiful 70 degrees today. Chillier weather for the near future, even Sunday now looks like only the 50s
-
Occasional light rain and drizzle here all day, since midnight .08 inch of rain.
-
Has become overcast and cold, 42 degrees with an east wind
-
In the 40s all day, now 43. Didn't feel to cold as the sun is fairly strong this time of year.
-
Looks like up and down temps thru early next week.
-
32 here

Snow and sleet reported in Commack.

Very chilly rain here

.77 inch of rain yesterday ay

Yeah that is what I thought but Upton indicated those temps may be lower
-
Upton talking about a low developing off Delmarva tomorrow night and moving near benchmark. Potential for rain and snow mix. Seems like a long shot at this point but we shall see.

Just had 39mph wind gust here as front went thru
-
The track Sandy took was so unusual but about as bad a track as we could get in our area. That constant strong easterly and southeasterly wind just kept pushing water into Long Island Sound, Ct , Long Island and Jersey shore. NY harbor was in the perfect location to receive all that ocean water.

Yes plenty of rain in Gloria and lots of downed trees in my area. It was worse in eastern Nassau and out across Suffolk. I think the disorganized center went close to the Nassau Suffolk line
-
Gloria was definitely a weakened storm but there was plenty of wind damage, many streets impassable with downed trees and wires. I would say winds in Gloria and Sandy were similar on Long Island. Gloria was not nearly as bad as Sandy in New Jersey or NYC. The tide flooding in Sandy much worse.
-
The incredible thing is, Gloria is the last time a hurricane made landfall on Long Island, some 40 years ago
-
Yes the hype for Gloria was intense.
-
1938 hurricane gave Blue Hill Observatory south of Boston a wind gust of 186mph and sustained winds of 121mph. Blue Hill is elevated at 635ft.

36 mph at my house.
