CapturedNature Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Do you know what kind of winds we had from Donna inland? like at BDL or HFD? I couldn't find any specific obs but the preliminary report mentions 100mph in eastern CT. It's mentioned on page 2 in the links below: http://www.nhc.noaa....loc/pshbos1.gif http://www.nhc.noaa....loc/pshbos2.gif http://www.nhc.noaa....loc/pshbos3.gif <== This is her storm track. hth.

New England Storm Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I know...you almost can't help but gawk at those videos. I probably would be sucked into the funnel. That whole storm was out of this world, I could not even think how it would feel to stare that monster down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well the drought is gaining attention, but Arkansas gets virtually every type of natural disaster there is, except earthquake. California Hundreds of inches of snow, major life-changing earthquakes, flooding, forest/wild fires, and of course Hollywood might be the ugliest natural disaster ever. Oh wait, nothing is natural in Hollywood. Still a disaster though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'll go with the Midwest. Where else can you hit -30 or lower in the winter and 110+ in the summer with a high risk of large hail and tornadoes? Plus I've never seen another place with simultaneous tornado and blizzard warnings like Bismarck in spring '09. We don't have extreme heat or cold here, or much chance at 'canes and severe weather, so I'd say the worst we have to offer up is an ice storm. New England's pretty tame overall, and those that invest in natural disasters and cat bonds would agree based purely on risk metrics. Being on the open Ocean front during a superstorm like 93 was nothing but tame. The combination of surf, wind and snow is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Why is it that in SNE weather lore no one ever talks about Edna? It's always 1938, Carol, Donna, and the Blizzard of '78. I did earlier. I think it's KBOS highest wind gust...101mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free_man Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just looks like a great tropical pattern for the US in the extended; almost seems like a lock that at least FL-NC somewhere gets a big hit before the season is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England's pretty tame overall, and those that invest in natural disasters and cat bonds would agree based purely on risk metrics. Having recently moved from New England, I think it might be that NE has the most weather, the most frequently. Sure, the extremes of temp, wind, rain, etc are more likely in places away from the coast, but there is something to talk about more often than not there. It's just more interesting, more often! I'd also like to know the proportion of mets at, say, the NWS nationally who grew up in NE. Betcha it's fairly high. And I have to agree with the Arkansas thing. I work with a guy there, and our phone conferences are always punctuated with "...and then I went down to the basement while working on this proposal, 'cause the sirens went off, again...."

Looks like low 80s this weekend, beach beach beach, coeds will be back in town too, eye candy carnival Pool has thin ice signs posted (pool thermo is saying 72F which is probably 5+ degrees too warm) Very comfortable, a mild and muggy 76.4/59 attm. We might hit the beach next week if things work out. WaWa's beginner slope is getting a new high speed quad, which hopefully will reduce some of the lines at other lifts. Not that I care since I ski lots of mid-week nights when it is empty. Labor Day ski sale coming soon. You should head up there. Or better yet, the October ski swap!

CT Rain Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 BDL http://www.wundergro...eq_statename=NA ORH http://www.wundergro...eq_statename=NA I wonder what the record gusts are for BDL and BDR? I have no idea where to even find that. Two storms people forget about are Doria and Belle. Both tropical storms but they were a whole lot more legit in terms of wind in CT than Bertha or Floyd. Belle had a sustained 58mph wind at BDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Most of the area was in the mid 80s...where is Joe getting the spin of upper 80s, besides an inflated car thermometer? I think he's still stuck in SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well the drought is gaining attention, but Arkansas gets virtually every type of natural disaster there is, except earthquake. Ah, check that Kevin. The New Madrid fault system lies precariously close by.. In the 1800s there were two 8.X quakes within days of one another that struck close enough to seriously do a tremendous amount of damage should that repeat.

Oh I know....that's a potential disaster....I was just focusing on their current disasters that range from floods, crippling icestorms, ocnl blizzards, flooding, tornadoes...you name it.
