Still think it can get west. That ULL over the southeast will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Still think it can get west. That ULL over the southeast will help It's a small prob. Maybe if it stays a mess for a few more days....but It may be a tease like Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 For those who are more 500mb savvy, check it out. A few players trying to help out, but the inhibiting factor is the longitude of the storm...at least for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 This is one of the most entertaining runs in a while..lol. That coastal low develops after truncation and completely floods out PA...only to give us a multi day nor'easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Broken out into sunny skies here! Just beautiful...........this summer will not be denied. Great to see Leslie staying weaker, means closer down the road, gotta love the westerlies and naked swirls. Hopefully it can strengthen and landfall around Sandy Hook as a Cat 3, that would give my area the optimal surge and destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I would not worry about Leslie right now. I'd be utterly shocked if it was more than a swell producer for the outer Cape/Islands. That trough coming in though behind it OTOH could produce a nice coastal or high PWAT flood thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its generally only from wind damage that's covered in TCs...or in some cases, fresh water flooding if you have flood insurance...but I know surge is a whole different ballgame.

No thanks on all accounts, want a good Hurricane experience, chase one in the south. I was at coastal carolina university. mom lived in pawleys island in heritage. Even to this day you can see the damage in Francis Marion State park in between Pawleys and Charleston. All pines down there as you know, palmetto in the swamp and at the beach. Snap snap snap all snapped halfway up like match sticks. Pawleys got nailed, several small twisters including surge decimated that area and forged a new gut. Houses were pushed all the way back into the marsh almost back to hwy 17. Georgetown and especially Mcclellanville were just abused. The historic homes in Georgetown faired best, sturdy construction, the surge into Mccellanville was a complete disaster. Fishing boats across hwy 17 one stayed in the median for years and years . Coastal was fine as its ten miles inland in Conway, but I saw surge damage clear past Callabash into sunset beach areas. The concave shape of the coast in those areas really magnified the surge. I was in gusts exceeding 80, nice to be a teenager, with no cares or worries in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pay federal mandated flood insurance, dont pay we lose the mortgage. Freshwater only? I read your posts from last year bro, you were very worried about losing everything you and your wife worked for, insurance does not pay for that. Why in gods name would anybody wish for their hardwork to be washed away. I totally understand the weather nerd stuff but c'mon man, ask any homeowner weenie who has had catastrophic damage how much they look forward to it happening again. I am not buying for a minute your wish for catastrophic surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its generally only from wind damage that's covered in TCs...or in some cases, fresh water flooding if you have flood insurance...but I know surge is a whole different ballgame. People who live in a storm surge flood zone need flood insurance that covers storm surge or else they're not going to get a mortgage. Almost everyone in CT that lost their home or business (>100 structures) had flood insurance. Even with insurance it's not going to pay for a complete rebuild especially when you're mandated to build your house "up" (on stilts) or with other flood mitigation measures.

CoastalWx Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Insurance companies have hurt people on the Cape as they designated it an unofficial disaster waiting to happen and don't realize that most of the Cape will not be swept away in surge.
