Follow up...

There's a multi-day organic farmers conference ongoing with a whole bunch of tents set up. Probably like a mini Woodstock out there. They wanted people to take cover at the height of it and were having trouble getting the message out so they blew the siren.

I'd think if sirens went off, no one would know what they were for. A ltitle different than when they go off at my company headquarters in IA when everyone just quickly heads for the designated shelters.

This is like The Trials on the sports forum saying "congrats on the division" after a meaningless sox win

They went off on June 1st when the TOR was issued for the earlier cell and Amherst was specified. Despite the false alarm the events of that day obviously left an impression of folks locally. Plus after VA Tech they've done a number of drills with the siren simulating a violent event on campus. So people are pretty much aware of what to do. But it's a college so it's especially hard to predict behavior. Heck in Oklahoma a tornado siren causes a stampede to the observation deck rather than duck and cover.

As the bands interact with land is when we'd see something..if we do..That's what happened on LI..Brief spin ups and touchdowns

Actually no. The rotation was strongest while the thing was in the Atlantic and again over the Great South Bay.

OKX radar attenuating as the band skirts NE? Radarman? Just a question.

S band doesn't attenuate too badly. Of course anything will attenuate if's pouring on the radome and the beam is propagating the long way through a squall line or something, but in this case I don't think it's a big factor. BOX looks fairly similar and isn't looking through the stronger echoes in SW CT.
