TalcottWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 All Ryan said was that he was tweaking winds down a bit, not saying storm cancel. Why don't people understand? BTW, true cane squalls. Epic conditions on the expressway. Center is plowing west on radar. Might be at or about Cape May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch2014 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Getting absolutely raked by squalls here in Concord, I'd say sustained winds around 30kts, with gusts 45-50kts... This is corroborated by the 48kt gust at BED and a 42kt gust at a local WXbug station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic conditions on the expressway. I know...they were only lowered by 5-10 mph...not that much of a difference when talking these sort of speeds.

Shaun Curry Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just had a gust reading 56 MPH on my weather station. I'm down in a ditch so my guess is that probably is low for what it really was. By way of example, my highest gust during Irene was only 35 MPH. BTW, I just renewed my "DONATOR" status. For all who haven't donated, this is a great time to do so for the value you are getting from the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metagraphica Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hearing from friends who have evacuated to hotels. Sadly, some will disregard future evacuation orders. Drove from Waterford over the bridge through downtown Niantic @ 1:30ish. Water was up on the road next to the bay right before the boat yards. This was with low tide being at 3pm or so. High tide this evening is going to be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any link to see the power outages? Maybe a map representation? I feel like I'm on borrowed time here...large (leafed) oaks are just bending too much for comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 CL&P outages nearly doubled in the last two hours. Gusts ramping up a bit here. Have had a couple now probably around 50 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Minutes after sending a video of lackluster conditions to sultginxy we just had 3 monsterous gusts I would estimate 50 pmh+ Better winds look to be on the way. AIT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedsnow Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I would have left them alone that just makes people think that the storm is no big deal I know...they were only lowered by 5-10 mph...not that much of a difference when talking these sort of speeds.

wxmanmitch Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Definitely some upslope enhancement occurring over the Berkshires and Catskills as indicated in areas shaded red. A driving sheet rain is present here. As I expected, topography playing a significant role in precipitation processes out here. So far winds aren't too bad. Max gusts probably in the 35-40 MPH range.

N. OF PIKE Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Tropical models really did a good job. NHC fail on not have hurricane warnings, epic fail. and the justification i was reading from some of their apologists , was the greatest example of people not "getting it" that i can ever recall. scary actually that a organization that prides itself on warning the public, thinks text book definitions are greater than accepting the reality of the way people prepare , and what warning they take seriously, not to mention there models that show this coming ashore as non tropical appear to be a fail, making the egg on their faces drip a bit more, and as long as their is defense to their thinkng it will happen again. some one can delete this but it's true and sad. weather x it should be clear were talking about delmarva, and new jersey ,epic fail, but yes that sure did nail the track. absolutely crushed the track euro at 216 hours was an epic model win and the upteen tracks it show'd w a bend back to mid atlantic was unreal at that range.
