earthlight Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The feeder band offshore that has a firehose look to it is likely going to be very ugly once it starts to work it's way into Northeast NJ, NYC, and Long Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Serious question: How is power going out for people when there's barely any wind out there? Even the rain hasn't been bad at all unless you're in NJ. There is not a leaf moving here in NE Queens. Flooded substations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The news coverage of this system on the evening news has been absolutely atrocious..filled with commercials and almost zero coverage of the tornado warnings. There are the occasional good beach interviews that are live but otherwise they are playing old interviews from this afternoon and not covering the live developments. ABC 7 has some impressive coverage so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 NJ and parts of the MA have a history of having insane gusts on the backside of these out of the NW. LI for some reason and New England it does not seem to occur quite as often or as severe. May have something to do with a downslope factor for the locations more inland, not too sure. It does seem to be that way, getting windy here too, the coolest and longest duration of strong winds in the past 5 years had to be the remnants of Ernesto in 2006 because it came off as a complete surprise, the winds were howling the whole day and night and well into the next day, we had a few gusts in the 60s and several 40s and 50s gusts.

The strongest winds here in Queens with Gloria,Floyd were on the backside of the storm and I suspect that will be the case with Irene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Serious question: How is power going out for people when there's barely any wind out there? Even the rain hasn't been bad at all unless you're in NJ. There is not a leaf moving here in NE Queens. The degree of outages currently on LI and in NYC region is typical with heavy rain events like this and winds 25-30 kts...the reason it seems bad is everyone is checking up on the numbers when normally we probably never look at that....in about 6 hours we'll start reaching bad outage levels.

FPizz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think I've seen heavy rain for about 25 minutes total today. I'm not complaining though, my house has 2 basements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I moved inland from Long Beach to South Farmingdale. At this evenings high tide the waves were already pushing up to boardwalk on the beach. All the stores were boarded or taped up with many having sand bags near the entrances. The police sent out a recording that no one will be permitted on the streets once the wind gusts exceeded 50 mph. I didn't want to risk the possibility of saltwater damage to my car.

Stormlover74 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Haven't watched the NY coverage that much yet. Directv has been feeding the VA news stations and now DC. Seeing alot of the footage and winds from NC up to Ocean City The news coverage of this system on the evening news has been absolutely atrocious..filled with commercials and almost zero coverage of the tornado warnings. There are the occasional good beach interviews that are live but otherwise they are playing old interviews from this afternoon and not covering the live developments.

From the main board thread: What's really troublesome is how AC & Cape May are half-way to low tide..yet their tides have barely dropped. Flood stage at AC is 6 feet....and 6.7 feet at Cape May Alarming = Yes NY Harbor is starting to flood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
