snowman21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Almost no one in the eastern half of Conn. has power. Many towns with 100% outages. CL&P has 1.2 million customers, and 600k+ are currently blacked out according to its real-time status page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 rain and sustained 30mph with gusts between 35-45mph for the past 3 hours here on the other side of VT in the city....winds seem to be increasing every hour and perhaps we can make a run at 50-60 yet much to my surprise that would be. interested to see south shore st laurent and up by quebec city on the rive sud, i imagine these places may surpass 65-70?? lots of rain..not a nice day.

40/70 Benchmark Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wasn't the biggie that it could have been. but neat storm nonetheless...and very destructive for coastal sw CT.

Pictures coming out of my hometowns of Guilford and Branford look really bad. Places flooded for the first time since 1938. Wind damage was serious even though the winds were short of Gloria. Wet soil and long duration made the outages worse. By the time we're done we'll probably be near 800k w/o power.. by far a new record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 615,024 Thanks! hmmm seems like UI actually improved...? Last check they had 143,000 but now it's down to 106,000. Not sure if this is correct at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 And it was a tropical storm. Imagine what a cat 3 would do....... I know...just the thought is absolutely scary.

DomNH Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Seems like we're about done here. Very cool storm as we rarely ever see sustained winds, even if they were only 25mph for a time. Gusts were not as high as I had hoped, but there were still some impressive ones nonetheless. Leaves and branches scatter the streets and some trees reported down in ASH too, which is rare as well. Hell of a lot better than faux severe threats, swampazz torches, or winter discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the woods, I'm not fond of potential tree damage. It looks like the heavy branch loss this past winter cleared away anything that might have dropped now.
