Absolute Humidity Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 this has to be the slowest mid - atlantic/northeast tropical system.. anyone have any info on what belle was like? Belle was my most memorable cane, was just 8 yrs old and still remember the metal shed smashing to bits with big treelimbs crashing up and down the street. I remember my father outside in shorts, no shirt, tying rope to a tree (very dumb) thinking that would actually do something, maybe it did, that tree survived, but many others did not.

I think that I have no clue whether it is A TS or Cane right now, but I think it's funny that some non-mets are coming in here saying that they "know" it is.
