CT Rain Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Winds over 70 in Glastonbury I don't know if I buy that report to be honest. It's possible but I haven't seen much to back it up. Power outages are quite minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My dads driving and we are on the mass pike headed towards 84. Pretty much stopped completely. Think we'll be fine on the pike near Charlton/Sturbridge? I think we wil be here for a while as we are barely moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Can you get to the rest area there? Got a camera/Davis? We are pretty close to the rest stop, going 20 now instead of stopped. Maybe we should pull in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW WITHIN THE SYS INTERACTING WITH FRICTIONAL EFFECTS OF TOPOGRAPHY NETS BRIEF ISOLATED SPIN UPS. Yeah a few of us mentioned that earlier. I thought the "feeder bands" had more tornado potential than the comma head in the MCV. I think the MCV helped energize the LLJ and you had some pockets of strong southerly/easterly winds that caused damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
