CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Are you still on the left coast? Will you be joining the sleepless Dads club in May? only 9 months away. In SFO now, and it's freezing. Had a great time so far. Yosemite was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hazel made landfall in NC and stayed inland. NYC gusted to 113. I have vivid memories of that storm....very little rain but more wind in the NYC area vs the other big 2 that year (1954). Probably a product of a ridiculous LLJ right there.

HarveyLeonardFan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 These things barely have rain on the east side of it. I barely had a drop from Gloria. Are you old enough to remember Gloria? I remember being 8 and asking my third grade teacher if we could watch the news on a black and white television the wednesday before the hurricane. I had a trace of rain at the onset, and that was it. And it was quite bright during the height of the winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would really matter unless you wanted rain and wind. Whether it is near the Hamptons or JFK...I think wind impacts would be similar.

ORH_wxman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Anyways, I'm out. Long day tomorrow. Should be very interesting to see how these winds play out. They look extremely impressive on the modeled data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Exactly. I like that combo too, but I'll sacrifice 40kt gusts for 50-60+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I like that combo too, but I'll sacrifice 40kt gusts for 50-60+. Not I, since I'll likely underperform in the wind dept., anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Quick question, I'm staying at a beach house along Duxbury beach, do you think I'm better off here, or going down to Onset/New Bedford area to see the most wind/ waves action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How do you know that Read just below the video at the same link: Updated: Saturday, 27 Aug 2011, 11:09 PM EDT Published : Saturday, 27 Aug 2011, 10:13 PM EDT MYFOXNY.COM - A local news reporter from Washington, D.C. ended up getting covered in what is probably the remnants of raw sewage as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md. WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him. Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That "organic material" was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm. "It doesn't taste great," he said. He said it had a sandy consistency and added, "I can tell you first-hand, it doesn't smell great." The foam is often a toxic mix of pollution and cyanobacteria.
