NorthNJwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Peak gusts so far on my stations: Oakland, NJ: 33 mph LBI, NJ: 48 mph (10-min sustained up to 30; 2-min sustained higher) Links to those stations are in my sig. I'm in Oakland, where winds have ramped up considerably over the past 30-35 minutes. Hoping to keep power down at LBI as long as possible so my data keeps coming online!

SnowGoose69 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 LIPA definitely learned their lesson from last time, they are actually working right now through these winds, outages down from 11,500 to 8,000 in the last 20 minutes. I gotta figure they will stop working for at least a period during the landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much gustier here just 20 minutes or so to your East on the Palisades cliffs. I think we hit 45 already perhaps 50 or more because the 45 that was reported at Frog Hollow (closest reporting station working right now, as Fort Lee isn't always available on wunderground) is just east of Teaneck which lacks the elevation I have. The three Tenafly stations seem outdated right now as they only are reporting 19mph gusts which is ludicrously off base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a totally different world from here in terms of exposure. I'm in the deep Ramapo Valley on the edge of the Highlands - much different terrain-wise from the rest of Bergen County, and my winds are usually comparable those of 12N and FWN (both in Sussex County), and nothing like those at TEB. My LBI station's exposure, on the other hand, is a totally different story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPizz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A few slightly strong gusts in Piscataway. Maybe 30mph tops. Some light rain. So far .30" of rain. Leaves blew nicely off the lawn. Might be the best part about the storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace0927 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Is there going to be any substantial rain, other than what falls in squalls up this way? Looks like everything is south and west of LI....not much out in the atlantic either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like everything is south and west of LI....not much out in the atlantic either... I think we will see one solid band some time between 18-22Z that last 1-2 hours, the RAP and HRRR both support this...otherwise I think it may be very showery.

Sundog Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Anyone seeing any trees down yet? A very large branch broke and is now hanging precariously about 20 feet above the ground about 100 feet from me. Of course it's a Norway Maple. Typical.

Looks like S and SW of that area will gets buckets of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldalex Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 without any science background and just using logic, I would have to say that the lack of rain would lessen the flooding potential in a lot of areas... For inland areas, there still will be plenty of rain. As others have said, the rain is coming, just look at the radar to the south. The biggest flooding issue is connected to the storm surge which is in no way affected by the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonli18t Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 without any science background and just using logic, I would have to say that the lack of rain would lessen the flooding potential in a lot of areas... rain is irrelevant to surge flooding. if you mean urban flooding, sure, but that was never the big issue here on the island at all. inland you may have a point, but inland areas should also see more rain than we do, especially south. so who knows. this is about the winds and surge for LI and has always been about those two things.

Sundog Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Crazy how my winds can go from maybe 10 to 15mph and then boom a gust pushing 50 comes out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I just had a power dip about 10 mins ago, had to wait for my computer to reboot. Ugh, I don't want the power to go out this early in the storm. Winds are gusting near 60 already. This is going to be a really bad storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
