18,000 without power now on the island, not a great number, was expecting higher to be honest. Towns around me got nailed, only some of my town lost power though.

For all you firemen out there, why does the fire whistle go off when a bad storm starts? To warn the town? I mean i know that afterwards there were trees down, etc, but ****, it made me think there was a tornado at one point when it was out of hand

This is going to be rich.

Probably going to somehow manage to dodge all of the severe cells in NNJ.

That's nothing new around here... there was that other day this year when we also dodged all of the severe cells when a line fell apart and new activity failed to blow up significantly. Hopefully Rockland county gets something, I'm thinking about doing a little chasing up there this evening.

I had a nice storm today, sorry you missed it. There are others coming in now too. May want to hold onto your standard bust call till after all the storms move out.

LOL 90% of Fairfield county saw nothing-look at the storm total map for precip...

no worries, look at the radar, its all coming together, and the sun came out again, still plenty of instability in the airmass

That could grow in size as well when it reaches the boundary. The small cell in Rockland hit the same boundary and quickly grew in size.

Yeah, that complex of storms over rockland headed towards weschester def. pulsed up over the last few scans.

A lot of sun out ahead of them.

Not with the FD, but have had friends that volunteered. Usually a general alarm, could be a fire alarm in a bldg went off, if you hear the siren go off for an 8 count. In Nassau county, if a structure fire is going (signal 10) and they need more man power, they'll sound it again, after the initial siren went off, & call for mutual aid as well. Siren goes off once if a chauffeur is requested for the rescure truck or ambulance or if an ambulance call comes into the FD (signal 9a).
