Dosh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sandy Hook tide already coming back in. Currently 8.3 feet above MLLW, 7 feet above normal tide levels. This is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridingtime Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any idea what is making this thing get on shore faster than initially thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 December 1992 type stuff showing up outside IMBY right now. It is incredibly impressive. The gusts are just flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I guess we may not lose power. Very windy, very strong gusts, some rain, glad I don't live right on the coast, will be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any idea what is making this thing get on shore faster than initially thought? Its likely the strong steering on the south side of the blocking high coupled with the strong phasing with the trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I still don't feel like the gusts are mixing down efficiently here in Westchester. We have 110kt 850mb winds approaching the area and yet I don't think we're seeing winds over 50mph here. There are times when the wind almost completely shuts down, and then kicks back up momentarily. It's not a sustained hurricane roar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Would you happen to have a link for the Battery Park surge? low tide was 2 feet above the previous, and with an additional 2-4 foot surge, we could see levels around 11-12 feet above MLLW which follow forecasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridingtime Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Its likely the strong steering on the south side of the blocking high coupled with the strong phasing with the trough.

SnowGoose69 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any chance the faster speed will minimize the damage from the storm surge? No, it may be worse, we could see winds in the Metro switch SE now early which may pile alot of water, especially places like Freeport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm At Sea Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I will be the first to say it: this storm has definitely under-produced at my location here in Middlesex County, NJ. Gusts have approached 60MPH, but there has been very little damage. I just drove 15 miles through the area and only found small branches in the road and 1 small tree down. No power lines down. Clearly, when this storm is reviewed, the most significant aspect will have been the storm surge combined with the astro. tides. Of course, my lights just flickered as I was writing this. AGAIN, I am speaking only of my area in terms of the wind and rain. Obviously, this has been devastating south and east of here. I still don't feel like the gusts are mixing down efficiently here in Westchester. We have 110kt 850mb winds approaching the area and yet I don't think we're seeing winds over 50mph here.

I can tell you in my area, it is not under-performing I know many people who have already lost power and we're getting strong gusts now. We still have plenty of time before the strongest forecast winds mix down/come ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
