Westerly Emergency Management sent out their first 'Reverse 911' message at 6pm this evening urging all residents to prepare for high winds and heavy rains - also to secure all loose objects. They stated that further messages would be forth coming and advised residents to check the Westerly Police website at www.westerlypolice.org for up to date information.

Just drove back from dinner in Narragansett along Rte. 1 - countless boats on trailers along Rte. 1 heading out of town and coming up from the roads south of Rte. 1.

I'm about 1 mile from the beach in SE Westerly and am high enough that I am not in a mandatory evacuation zone. Winds are light out of the South and I can clearly hear the ocean tonight.

Anyone want to talk about inland wind? I think that some people picture a tight core where near the center is strongest wind, Charley a good example was like a giant weak tornado with winds confined very close to the center. Like the first image from the SACRUS tracking thread

From what I gather about a northern system like this is that

1. the windfield will expand, the strongest winds may be far from the center

2. nobody $x miles or more inland is likely exceed hurricane force sustained, but much of the coast, even far removed from the center will

Is Matt Noyes about right?
