I definitely think there were pockets of severe criteria, but on the whole I doubt it was widespread. You'd have to actually see the all the damage to get a better idea. So many compromised trees and branches will succumb to 45-55 mph winds. I saw some stuff down here on what was 40mph or so. 50-55mph on foliage is exponentially worse than 50-55mph with no leaves.

Do you feel a slight jolt?" LOL. Anyways, that's why you don't shower in tstms. I remember one time in 8th grade I was getting ready for school and when I woke up to take a shower it was raining out...it was the spring...I ALWAYS get nervous taking a shower, even if it's raining. I took my shower and nothing happened...a little bit later I was brushing my teeth, there was a window right next to the sink...I pull away from the sink and all of a sudden there was this vivid flash right next to the window and even before the flash was gone there was a HUGE crash...that scared the hell out of me...it was the only flash of lightning/thunder that day. It had to hit right next to the house...hell it may have it the house but the house was grounded. Lightning does freak me out..but I still love it.

We had a gust to 59 knots in June 2008 here and I saw what the damage looked like...it does a lot of damage, but its usually pretty localized. This event didn't have winds that strong except maybe in isolated pockets, but it was very large coverage of the 40-55mph stuff. So there will be damage reports from most towns even if its mostly sub-severe winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of 2008 I like to use Russell, MA as a "threshold" for high end winds...they had the 70-75 mph microburst and there was a GREAT deal of damage with that. 40-50 mph winds will cause damage...just nothing too large scale...once you get above 55-60 mph...that's when damage become a bit more widespread, which is why the wind criteria for severe is 58 mph.

I left work and drove the 33 miles backroads through Ledyard, N Stoinington, Voluntown, Sterling, to home in Moosup. Found the most extraordinary results, not one limb, tree down, most amazingly after a Tropical storm there were no leaves litter on any road. Miracle. Then I checked, most of the outages from CLP were from lightning strikes, tripped breakers not wind downed trees. Some towns got hit good with wind but for a tropical storm, Meh. LOL..yeah you checked with CLP...OK Keep getting excited about flooding which affects noone but a couple hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, glad you brought it up... I remember saving these images from Skywarn Ray from the Russell event... I also spoke to Glenn Field at Taunton asking him about doing a survey, but they were too busy, it was too far, and not worth it to go to Russell. Don't blame him... But it was a very good "severe" proxy. Trees snapped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really the same as straight line wind damage on those events, except that it might cause the direction of the damage to fan out in a brief area. Or perhaps a gustnado.

Wow, did not remember that, cool info. CLP down to 111K, had to stay at work until storm was over. No fun driving all the way back so I stayed, posted pics of the gust front. Excellent storm. No power issues at work which is a great thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
