60mph gust reported at Central Park!

0358 AM NON-TSTM WND GST CENTRAL PARK 40.80N 73.96W 08/28/2011 M60 MPH NEW YORK NY ASOS ASOS

Nice pickup; 60 mph in the park is tough to come by! Looks like Manhattan is now getting into the stronger winds that had been confined to the south and east earlier.

Not to be a downer here but if this is impressing a lot of you that much you must not have been around for Gloria. Honestly a little depressed with this overall. Yeah some strong bands but based on some of the posts I see here the last hour or so you'd think a CAT3 was moving ashore. Mods please don't delete this as it's not a trolling post but an honest observation. Been at work in Westbury watching over a 40K square foot Federal facility and see nothing of the "Chaos" that seems to be going on around me Lol. Am I missing something ?

these things come in spurts sometimes....I can remember feeling the same way....Dec 92 coastal into 1993 superstorm...crazy times up there

Ohhh we were just talking about that earlier, when we were discussing how much the beaches could be eroded and it reminded me of those powerful early 90s storms. It all started in 1991 with Bob and then the Perfect Storm two months later and then Dec 92 and Mar 93.... crazy times!

I personally agree...I'm not observing any chaos in Westchester County, though of course no one expects a TC to be as dangerous inland. But considering the media hype and the supermarket lines/traffic today, you'd think something worse than a windy rainstorm was occurring. Given the discussions, I was certain we were going to lose power in this storm, and we haven't even had a single flicker of the lights which occurs in modest thunderstorms. The 8/18 t-storm was much more impressive here with 3.5" of rain in less than 2 hours; this time, most of the rain has trained over the Catskills/Poconos, or slid to the south across Central NJ, which to be fair has been pummeled.

damn good luck man...keep the reports coming for as long as you can...PSEG sent a telephone notice to customers down here that restoring power to residences could take up to two weeks...probably just covering their arses....
