yl715 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We're not even close to hurricane force sustained here-I have to say that windwise, the 3/13/10 noreaster was worse for us. We may have had some gusts to 60-65, but the story here is sthe storm surge, by a mile. Our power isn't even out. Your still in Long Beach?

Cfa Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I knew I wasn't crazy, they just said on ABC7 that the center is over Queens & Nassau. Wherever it is I hope it officially maintains it's Cat 1 strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister is on Foster Avenue in Sayville, Her VP2 never showed anything higher than 68 and change and never sustained 76. Just check surrounding stations to verify.

For most of the area, this was an awesome storm, regardless of the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
