Baroclinic Zone Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Your reports from 1/2005 were unreal. That was perhaps your lifetime winter event. I looked back at the1/2005 winds from TAN and today has exceeded them by like 10-15mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Paul you think mixing with the llj gives us some big gusts later? I think we can get some solid gusts...last look which was last night was thinking between 35-55 mph but will look at latest stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 So far we've lucked out. Lights flickering a bit though, but still holding on. Same here. Lots of flickering and some short outages, but so far nothing prolonged. Still getting some heavy gusts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 I looked back at the1/2005 winds from TAN and today has exceeded them by like 10-15mph. Looks like I've managed to receive close to 1" of rain today on the E side of the storm. Yesterdays was reported a little less, although I think the ASOS underestimated the amounts that fell.

cheetah440 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 w/ water yes but wind has been minimal. I'm not sure it's gusted much over 20 mph here. more in the hilltowns of course.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Apparently you were unconscious while I was having a page long orgasm about an hour ago. Quote one complaint from me today.... Not many really read, though, Ray. The comprehension, or even "will" to comprehend more than just seem retarded. Sometimes I seriously pray that the lowest common denominator on this site does not reflect society et al (digression). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 According to the mayor, 3 homes were washed into Long Island Sound at the end of Fairfield Beach Rd, I will get down there tomorrow and take pics to add to all the surge pics I posted in the damage thread, what a day. 12,000 homes without power in Fairfield thats more than 50% of the residents.

weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Chris, Looks like we could see some gusts later this afternoon in the 35-45 mph range with isolated gusts close to 50 mph possible. Further east across eastern MA looks like they could see gusts of 45-55 mph with isolated gusts up to 60-65 mph possible. Looks like wind threat last through the late afternoon/early evening before finally tapering off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamrivers Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Can think of a few areas in Westfield that must be getting dangerous. Agreed... live shot on WWLP shows it within banks but running very fast - I would be especially worried about Route 20/other areas between the city center and the West Springfield line as that is a prone flooding area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
