HurricaneJosh Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Fred put up some excellent images of the 4 foot flooding in Bellmore: Cool pics! They look very similar to what we witnessed in Island Park as the center passed nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 What part of Huntington? I spent today in downtown Huntington and all was hunky-dory. That having been said, I didn't actually go down to the Harbor. I think it was the lowest elevations in town. I was surprised to see it too-- I didn't think of Huntington as a town that gets surge flooding haha. I'm looking it up now, on the newscast they just labeled it "Huntington" lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eardnV8Pl1k http://www.nbcnewyork.com/weather/video/Hurricane_Irene_Flood_Huntington_New_York-128551438.html?rr=td Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Seems like there was a 10-11 foot surge on parts of the CT coast? I haven't seen an official report on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, sorry, I got carried away there I'm disappointed like you are though, I wish it was an 85-90 mph hurricane, along the lines of 1821 and 1893. Now, THAT would have been historic! Gloria on that track and at astronomical high tide, as stated before, would have been devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsnowx53 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hey Josh, where in Island Park were you? I tried driving down to Long Beach somewhere between 8 and 8:30am on Sunday morning, but couldn't make it because of the flooded roadways, so we stopped at the Peter's Clam Bar parking lot--right near the intersection of Long Beach Road and Austin Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott747 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Texas Tech data is out. StickNet probes did a good job. Lowest pressure was measured at the 0109A probe just N of your location at Open Ground Farms - 951.6 http://www.atmo.ttu.edu/TTUHRT/Irene.htm http://www.atmo.ttu.edu/TTUHRT/TTU_Irene_Deployment_Summary.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed this post. It seems like we were in generally the same area-- so we probably just missed each other. We stopped by Pete's as well.

They really did a good deployment-- covered the landfall area pretty well. I'm a bit disappointed the highest sustained winds were 56 kt (near Beaufort) and 58 kt (on Hatteras Island)-- but two things about that: 1) the instruments were well below 10 m, so you have to correct for that, and 2) I think they would have sampled higher winds if they'd been close to my area (Marshallberg/Harker's Island) or a little NE of there (toward Atlantic and Cedar Island). Here's the HRD wind swath-- which shows that winds of ~70 kt raked my location: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 thanks for all the effort in doing this Josh. Looking forward to seeing your post analysis. Here is the NWS Raleigh preliminary wind gusts: By the way-- thanks, Sean, for posting this awesome map earlier. I really appreciate it. Folks, this is the peak-gust map, created by the NWS at Raleigh, using official surface obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hey, folks-- I finally got around to cutting and editing the footage from my Irene chase. A few comments: * Severe backside. The main thing you'll notice is that the cyclone's backside was much stronger than the front: the wind really shrieked after the lull-- in a way that it definitely didn't do on the front side. We were quite surprised by it. * Large core. The cyclone's core and eye were quite large: the calm started around 7 am, and the wind didn't start picking up again until around 9 am-- and, amazingly, the peak backside winds occurred around 11 am-- a good two hours later! (You'll see all this in the footage.) This large, loose structure explains why this 952-mb 'cane was only sustaining winds of 75 kt. * Two cameras. My camera died from water exposure just before the eye, so I shot the eye and backside using my friend's ancient still-shot camera-- and you'll notice the change in quality. But I figured lower-res video was better than none at all! * Bonus NYC footage! At the end, I tacked on some footage from our second chase, in Brooklyn, NY, the following day. I caught some decent wave action on Belt Parkway. Overall... It's not the most dramatic stuff I've ever shot-- but, hey, it captures the experience. (Hopefully I'll get somethin' spicier in Jova. ) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydbuster Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Nice vid Josh...note the increase in surge as the second half of Irene came in. Of course, had Irene been a major hurricane it would've been totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypatia Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nice work... I really like your footage and your editing is superb! I think you give just the right amount of verbal commentary... too many chasers talk/yell WAYYY too much instead of just letting the wind "speak" for itself.
