This is not a severe weather outlook bust. Sorry.

Most people in our sub forum did not see anything close to severe level storms. New England the same. No one is doubting its verification farther west.

Huge bust in the NYC METRO...come on, one tree down on long island? two maybe i think. A Whopping 2500 lost power on the island!!!

Cannot believe how that sucked died out. The clouds were cool, but man seeing that thing to the west was wild, then it was a joke. I dont care if some places verified, we had a monster headed towards us that completely fizzled. We have had 3 or 4 storms worse this summer.

Just leaving Astoria this morning for work, I saw 3 large tree branches down blocking 3 side streets. 1 was on top of a car and did damage.

I guess LGA's 50+ mph winds were in Astoria as well.

A 50 mph wind gust is not severe. But looks like JFK and LGA both had some decent winds, out here we MAYBE gusted to 30/35. Had some decent rains though, but overall was a non-event.

You mentioned tree damage. I didn't say anything about severe. Just pointing out that I saw several large tree branches down and 1 crushed a car in Astoria.

That's all.

Nothing exciting here. Just a typical thunderstorm.

Point taken. Guy was stuck by falling debri under a church when lightning hit and died in bk. Some people still dont take lightning seriously, at their own peril. A woman was struck last week in Kew Gardens while walking down the street.

In my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on the lightning risks, and less so on the hail, heavy rains, possible breezy conditions. Around here, lightning is the biggest threat.

Yesterday was a complete bust in the NYC metro BUT it could have easily turned out to be a disaster with millions of people without power - lives lost - buildings destroyed - these situations are next to impossible to accurately predict for any one location -only the potential is there to easily warn people was better to warn people - I am sure many folks were relieved when the storm passsed through and they had no damage to their property and they were not injured - I know I was........

So what you're saying is, it wasn't a severe weather outlook bust.

Just because your local area didn't get storms doesn't mean the outlook busted.

And it didn't.

Have to diagree with you. Wasnt even a regular summer thunderstorm. Barely had any lightning and it didnt rain hard at all. An utter joke compared to what it was.

I saw more lightning in the batch of rain that came though an hour later or so.

Disagree? That's what happened in my area. I saw heavy rain with frequent lightning and thunder. The line weakened as it was heading east.

Limbs and branches can come down also in a garden variety thunderstorm...when the METRO area has less than 25k power outages, the storms were not that bad. Half of those reports are from buoys or sites on the ocean/sound.

Nobody said some areas didnt see severe, the majority were north and it was widely scattered. Defintely NOT moderate risk type damage

This.

Just look at the power outages. Almost none.

this is not the case of a few people didnt see winds, boohoo, almost body lost power, period. That tells you widespread severe winds DID NOT happen.

I mean i get it guys, you want to say there was bad weather, but this was definitely a bust for OUR AREA. Why so hesitant to call it a bust?

I had more trees down within 3 square blocks in 2010 than that whole report you linked.

And if you followed my posts in the banter thread, I was one of the only people that desperately wanted this thing to bust. I hate severe weather, because severe weather means winds and that means trees and power lines down. I love trees and my electricity as well.

Weenie or not a few scattered trees down over a geographic area as large as Upton's warning area is a joke. It's ok to say it busted in our area. There's nothing wrong with saying it.

I mean only 2500 people without power on the whole island says it all. They get more than that from run of the mill noreasters.

It was a bust for the immediate area but not for everyone. I think a lot of people in our area were expecting damaging winds and torrential downpours with loud thunder and vivid lightning. Also hail.

Dude, what is so difficult to understand? Just because the NYC Area didn't see widespread severe winds doesn't mean the SPC Outlook busted. Which is what this thread is about.

That's fine. That still doesn't mean the Moderate Risk outlook from SPC busted.

I don't think anyone thinks the general severe outlook busted. This thread was made in this sub forum for a reason: to determine the biggest bust for OUR area, not an outlook that encompasses 1/4 of the US.

yea except for the fact that SPC included NYC in the moderate risk...how is that so hard for you to understand? Yes other areas got slammed, nobody denies that. But, NYC was placed in the mod risk, etc and it did not verfiy.

For OUR area, it was a bust. Are we commenting on Central NYS or nyc metro. im pretty sure this is a nyc metro thread. in the nyc metro it was a bust. period. dont need a meteorological degree to figure that out.
