Hurricane Irene - Discussion Part III


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

what was norcross looking at it when he was talking about the eye being more ragged? The thing that was on IR in the last few hours was only a small piece of the eye...it's 25 nm wide. The newest IR looks more like the whole eye is attempting to pop out. It's the best its looked in some time...this thing probably wasn't a major for most of the day today with the double wind maxima. The NHC held it for persistence and probably public safety also.

Well guys, we asked for it. Skims NC, bounces NNE, heavy heavy chainsaw action for us. Timing is everything for the RI coast, surge Cat is one Cat above wind, that's 5-8 feet above high tide with 20 footers, gonna be some barrier beach areas destroyed if this comes in at high tide in center LI at a right angle.

Best guess for sustained winds here in the high terrain? We are totally waterlogged and I would think with additional heavy rain it wouldn't take much to start tipping trees. What a pain.

I'm resolved to losing power within the first hour of anything sustained over 50mph. Knowing this area I'll guess the number of days without power will increase with every 10mph increment over that. lol.
