Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I was wondering when we'd start seeing the where are the wind posts. LOL..Like clockwork Oh it's blowing just part for the course right now. Bumps from 20 knots gusting to about 40 now to sustained 40 gusting to 55 by 2, 40 gusting to 60 by 6. Wild.

CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 At Starbucks - just heard a worker there say - this is going to be like any other storm...just all hype. Well for the SNE coast, we see winds 60-70mph quite a bit all things considered. However this storm will probably be the upper echelon for nor'easters here..especially Cape Cod. And unlike the interior which sucks for winds, this will bring strong winds all through the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 2600 without power in RI already... and thats with gusts maxing to 40 so far... gonna be a long day.. will be shocked if we still have power by the end of the day here. Are you one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLaverty Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Are you one of them? Still have power.... for now. Lost it for over a week for Irene and 3 days for the OCtober snowstorm... I'd say theres about a 10% chance we don't lose power here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some whispy breezes here. Wish I were home probably gusting close to 40 now tring to talk the wife into going back with this snj/nd track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have been looping the vis 1km sat. Since daylight it looks to me Sandy is veering very sharply left. Trajectory looks to be Cape May NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Will the lack of any real rains with this system prevent mixing down of the core of the winds? Nobody is forecasting that so I take it the answer is no...but was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well the stronger winds seem to be just getting to the Cape and Islands now. So it looks like the next few hours might be the last that we see of each other for a while. Looking for the 5 pm time frame to be the time of most wind damage as the winds just above our heads are very strong. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Believe it or not someone from our team made it into Logan this morning. Heading out to pick them up. Winds picking up in gusts and I already have a branch hanging off of a wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is forecasting that so I take it the answer is no...but was just curious. I think we will see a band of rain move up after 1-2pm. This will probably help some. Afterwards, I think we may see these long, but narrow linear bands of heavier showers rotate up through the night. Any of these bands could bring strong winds.

MainePhotog Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hearing now that the Bounty is gone. Her crew in lifeboats but not rescued yet. Very sad news as we have a local connection to her. Was built here in 1962. I toured the HMS Bounty when it was docked at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine awhile back. Impressive ship. Hope the crew are rescued soon.

needbiggerboat Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 HMS Bounty situation is plain and simply gross negligence It was a replica tall sailing ship...IMO a lock for Darwin award nomination, and a strong contender for the eventual winner. Where they went down is bad enough in regular conditions...mind boggling they were there in the midst of Sandy. But, sailboats can't move quick on demand.

ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 NO-doesnt really matter about the track-when the winds shift to the SE all that water comes rushing in. Yep, its been an uphill battle to convince people of the myth that if this tracks 25 miles south, its going to end up being much less impact...really, there will be no difference. This isn't a hurricane when it hits, its a Nor' Easter of hurricane strength. The strongest winds might be recorded well away from the center and certainly the windfield being the size that it is creates a monster fetch over the water....just pouring it into LI sound.

Damage In Tolland Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 How strong was Hazel when it made LF? NYC had gusts to 101mph I believe with a weaker system and came into the Carolinas well south of where Sandy will..Chew on that for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
