Not really. There's still a continuing increase in land effects. That is continuing to encourage a weakening trend. I know people have quoted Danny but that wasn't even a TS before it got to the area. Big difference between that and a big hurricane.

The system could have a pressure in the 950's and be a tropical storm in terms of wind definition at this latitude. Sometimes the whole "74 mph criteria" makes it difficult because the label changes...a storm is a storm no matter how you brand it. We should just call em Cyclones like they do down under. :guitar:

Do you think that is underdone?

I don't know what to think. It's already over 3 feet though, normally it's running like 1 ft. I wouldn't be surprised to see 19 ft. out of it.

Please, my good man, take as many pictures and videos as you can at as many locations as you can.

That was the story with Gloria, category three pressure with category one winds; regardless some places on Long Island had no power for weeks.

That is kind of what I thought. Does anyone know if any of the major four stations simulcast on radio (in case the power goes out). I think WPVI used to.

10 is using B101. I would imagine CBS will use 1060 on 94.1 at some point.
