snowNH Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Meant 4th largest tropical outage. Floyd, Bertha, and the rest didn't make the list. Still 200k in 1971 would probably be doubled today. http://www.cl-p.com/...rmresponse.aspx This is for all of Northeast Utilities. http://www.nu.com/media/stormkit/compare.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just about half the strength...lol What is the site people are using to generate tracks of all storms from a point? http://www.csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes it's a bit cumbersome at times but way better than the old version.

CT Rain Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's a business, and there are a lot of wealthy viewers who live in New England who buy expensive products and you want them to tune in. This is exaclty why TWC has referenced the East Coast of Florida so much up until this evening despite all evidence to the contrary...because there are a lot more wealthy viewers in Fort Lauderdale than there are in Wilmington, NC. MSNBC specifically targets the I95 corridor from DC to Boston...they don't care much about Fly Over Country. Oh I understand that. No one told Bryan Norcross to say "this may be the biggest hurricane in decades in the northeast" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 yeah must have been. it made landfall in the carolinas as a rather mediocre TS too. nothing amazing. that's interesting though - where did you get those numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarveyLeonardFan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Oh I understand that. No one told Bryan Norcross to say "this may be the biggest hurricane in decades in the northeast" though. Norcross was probably telling Williams' producers what they wanted to hear. It got him on tv...instead of speaking to 400 thousand on TWC, he was seen by 8 million on Nightly. Unlike most people on this board I still like TWC, but I thought it was absolutely appalling that they rode the western outlier all day because it was the only model that kept the south florida population center in the game. Scooter's right...if this thing produces hurricane conditions north of Cape Hatteras this thing will be covered like no other weather event in history because there are a lot more eyeballs and a lot more wealthy people who live along I 95 as opposed to I10 along the Gulf. Just imagine a Donna like track in this competitive media environment we're living on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just read Floyd dropped 15-20 inches of rain in NC... This is correct. Eastern NC got hit by 3 that year, as I recall. There was another one about a week or so before, I think. They were flooded for weeks after Floyd! It was terrible. Not much in SC where I was at the time. Heard all about the flooding up in SNE down at CHS were I was. My hubby (the hurricane nut of the house) was rather PO'd about that. --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I learned of the media hype from this college kid's status update on FB...I don't even bother with the news or much TV for that matter......he made an update something to the effect of "so I guess me may get raped by a hurricane this wknd".....and when I commented, he went on to state that his mother relayed to him that ch 7 was flipping out. lol yeah-- what made me stop bothering with the news was in the mid 90s, when we had the back to back twin failings of the 1995 tropical season and the 1996 horrendous mess that was Edouard. That was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
