rygar Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 And frankly, the winds at night can be terrifying compared to the day. Obvious, but I needed to get that off my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does look that way. There is a huge central area of clearing surrounded by a much larger ring of precip. Such a bizarre transformation from hurricane into nor-eastercane. Really, really interesting from an academic perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A shingle just blew off my roof. It was from the edge of the roof, but still...never seen that before. I'm scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euripides Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Went outside for a few minutes to get video (more for the sound of the wind). Raced back in with a huge gust. Saw lightning but then realized it was most likely a transformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Holy hell, just walked to the end of 50th St (past 1 ave). Easily gusts approaching 70mph. It was hard to stand. The east river looks to be about 6-10" from overtopping the concrete barrier in this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightknights Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm in Nutley and have personally seen about 15-20 transformers blow in the last hour. Another one just went as I was typing I heard the sizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine going through the eyewall of a cat 4/5 hurricane. This is nothing compared to that. People down south would call this a weak storm. I know it isn't for us, but to them this would not be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
