Ginx snewx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 7.8 ft surge in Stamford. Water beginning to rise. Low tide at 6 p.m. yep NL too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I dunno...perhaps its getting more pulse-like. But the strongest of the LLJ was progged for about 5-6pm. We'll see if it pulses back up. It's come way down from the peak here. It was the worst I've seen for 30-45 minutes. If that had kept up or had gotten 10-15mph worse. Yikes. But right now it's a run of the mill noreaster (for the time being). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I saw a wind gust report out of Newport's official reporting station of 59 and I agree with it. I'm skeptical of all these 70 plus gusts. The worst of the gusts diminished about an hour ago. I'd say this event was more substantial than Irene. Far more branches down, bigger branches and some uprooted trees. But certainly nothing historic. The storm surge was disappointing. Big waves at the beaches but no major overwash at the beaches. I'll buy that. Good post. Max wind in Taunton today, 47MPH. Historic it wasn't, for this area anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tstorm723 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 In Westerly RI. numerous trees down... Virtually every yard and street has trees either uprooted or split. Damage worse than Irene and the March 2010 nor'easter. Power is out in most of the town. Highest winds and damage around 3pm. Winds taken on more of a southerly component in the last 30 mins. Truly a significant event down here... Will report beach conditions once allowed back into the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerz_nailz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am amazed that the power is still on here in North Coventry, I guess that the tree trimming over the last few weeks is a big help. No real damage here, just a few limbs/branches down here and there and the wind seems a bit lighter than about 1/2 hour ago. Same here up behind high school/ town hall area.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 KBOX VAD also seems to confirm LLJ may have maxed on South Coast. Our max winds seemed to occur just as it was making landfall? faded soon after. These are still damaging winds if they move inland...we just don't have the bigger trees like you guys do. Up to 275k customers without power on Long Island so figure 500-600k between Boston and LI alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoob40 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Peak gust here was 43. Not sure we top that between now and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 yep NL too Eastern sound is in trouble. Worst since Carol no question. Looks like ~9 feet storm tide in New London... Carol was 9.6ft. Astro tide in New London is 2.6ft... current surge 6 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But same here it's down from earlier. What was the max there? I'm thinking low 60s here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackwaves Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A lot of breaks in the overcast here. I can't wait to see the post mortem on this storm. Highest gust at my house was 57mph. It looked like it went extra tropical for a minute then contracted back to tropical, sparing us the really good winds. Like a breezy summer evening now. Bummer.

OceanStWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Dude have you seen the south coast? The worst tide was always progged to be this evening for the south coast. If forecasts are correct Narragansett Bay will go at least 4 feet above the water level at this morning's tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty shocked ACK hasn't gusted to at least 60 knots. The highest was 52 knots i think at the ASOS thus far? Kind of weird...BOS was gusting higher than that.
