Sustained winds of 75mph?

Come on Ant.

Gusts that high maybe. But that's not a hurricane. That's a strong tropical storm.

The models have this storm gaining strength as it heads north. Like I said, I think we will see winds between 60-70 with gusts over 80.

Yeah. Gonna be awsome. Even 50mph sustained winds with gusts to 65-70 is awsome.

i dont think people realize how strong a 70 mph gust is. your house will be shaking and trees snapping. i dont need a 90mph gust to blow out a window. not fun.

I bet no NYC reporting station sees a hurricane force gust. Max gusts will be in the 60-70 mph range.

I'll take that bet. You have several official reporting stations that sit right on the water (airports). This thing could have 50mph sustained winds and you would likely see gusts at or above hurricane force.

when was the last time this happened in Manhattan?...1960?..1954?...This storm should rival the strongest storms NYC has seen in the last 100 years or so...

At this magnitude, probably back then. Storm surge with the direct nyc track will be intense, thats for sure. I want to see that sight.
