Stormpc Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just had gust to 47 with the arrival of this latest squall. 2.38 so far. Impressive rainfall. Looks like a lot of us will end up with 6-8, 95 corridor and east. West of that, much less. Interested to see if the emergence of the eye over water will generate an increase of the winds at the core, especially since the pressure is still around 950mb. You would think it would, but probably not given the colder water and latitude gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think it would, but probably not given the colder water and latitude gain. if the core regenerates, I would think the winds further out (like our neck of the woods) might subside some due to the bundling of energy, but that's more hope on my part than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreAce33 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Reporting in from SBY. Lost power for about an hour. Heavy rain at the moment, though winds are a bit calmer. Probably 30 or so sustained, gusts to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC_WX Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm not saying its going to. How long did it take them to restore it? Maybe 50% in the first 48 hours, another 40% in the next week, and the final 10% or so up to 3-4 weeks. Where I lived at the time in Chesterfield was out 5 solid days; where I built my house in Powhatan in 2005 was out over 3 weeks. In many places the infrastructure was so badly damaged it had to be rebuilt from scratch rather than repaired. That takes some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 why dont the se va guys ever post in these general threads? OMG a guy from Cape May posted about a legitimate weather threat and you'd thought he was to be lined up and executed the way he was spoken to. Why this forum treats people - outside of the posting clique - like they are all 4th class humans is beyond me. I posted something a year ago (on american but there is no difference) about a winter storm and I was treated as though I had nothing more than a 1st grade education. I have a Ph.D. from Berkeley in Economics (and the person that insulted me is VERY well known here). It's amazing how poorly people are treated here...and it's such a shame because this could become a powerhouse if it were to welcome new people, treat those well and capture the enthusiasm of those new to the meteorological world. No wonder everyone in our country treats each other so poorly...if you can't even treat a newbie on a weather blog with love and respect (people yesterday were talking about CHIK FIL A for Christ sake) than enjoy your party of a few. If you treat people like an inhuman bastard, shame on you. I only lurk because occasionally - occasionally - there is incredibly insightful perspective (usually from Wes) about weather.

You obviously have weather knowledge but this whole meteorology as a contact sport needs to stop. 90% of the posts here are garbage...from personal jibes to inconsequential observations about nothing relevant.

I don't see what is so hard for you to understand. It is like you want completely incorrect weather information to be allowed to be posted - and on top of that in the wrong forum.
