Isotherm Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Its not "bs". Its just what happens when you try to measure wind in a sheltered site. My parents only gusted to 43 mph, thanks to the little forest nearby. By comparison, Trenton Airport gusted to 68. Just curious, what's the height of your anemometer? I've got mine on a pole up at about 25' AGL as that's the best I could do w/o going to the roof. I also had a peak gust of 43mph, but my house is located NE of the station and there's a thin forest 50ft to the east with some very tall red oaks. NE and E are the worst directions for me in terms of recording high winds, unfortunately that's the wind direction we see with nor'easters/storms, so my biggest gusts have been coming with T-storms or NW flow CAA events.

Boch23 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Anyone know what the Dix Hill area of Long Island looks like. We are suppose to have a hockey game up there this weekend but I feel its a trip that won't be happening for a while for a number of reasons.

Dsnowx53 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Looked like the ASOS took some kind of hit around the time of the max wind. From the daily summary the max wind was just after 8PM, but the next hourly has a dollar sign and no "pk wnd" remark, so something happened around that time (not surprisingly). As far as OKX missing it, I think (don't quote me on this) that they have a program which pulls out the gust reports from the METARs, so since it wasn't in the METAR it got missed. That makes sense. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunt/uncle live in Dix Hills and actually never lost power.......but they are in the minority. Gas (lack of) is a growing concern across LI too now. Getting worse by the day according to family.

LovintheWhiteFluff Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi everyone. Sad to report that the national guard is not letting me or anyone else in our development in Beach Haven West to get in to look at our houses. I'm sure it will need to be completely rebuilt given the fact I'm one lagoon off the bay. Power to my office which is in another town was turned on last night. I'm in total shock of everything that has happened. I'm just happy all my family and friends are safe. Thank you all for your kind thoughts concerning everyone affected by this storm.

Analog96 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think the skepticism is borned from a history of questionable readings at Central Park. What Ray is saying is the anenometer is functioning perfectly. The location is what is BS, not the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister says she saw people getting in fist fights today waiting for gas and there are no cops around some station to even "keep the peace". Sounds like it's getting real ugly.

dan11295 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 From what I am hearing, Staten Island had most of the deaths in NYC. Was this just because surge may have been highest here? Or just less people evac from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Was able to see the total devastation on tv today for the first time, thoughts and prayers out to all of you your family and friends. NYC and the entire area is tough as nails, they made it through 9/11 without flinching and you will all be back and stronger than ever. I really hope the weather cooperates over the next two weeks.

bluewave Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Power is slowly being restored to parts of Nassau County. I was lucky to get my lights back Tuesday evening here in Western Nassau. My friends in Farmingdale just got their power back about 4 hours ago. Long Beach has the toughest conditions right now here in Nassau. I visited some friends there yesterday and they were without water, sewer, or electric. The national guard was distributing food and water there today. Many of the residences experienced damaging flooding and loss of their breaker boxes, hot water heaters, and boilers. There are cars ruined by salt water all over the city pushed around by the tidal surge and are now stuck in the sand. Many of the parking garages on the lower levels of the condos and apartments suffered losses of all the cars parked in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not good Yup, I know one cop who lives in Babylon and he's starting to get worried. Not a good sign at all. He also said aid hasn't even gotten to certain Suffolk Co. communities hard hit by Sandy along the immediate south shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derecho! Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I haven't seen any news whatsoever about the NJ communities on the South side of Raritan Bay. I had been thinking yesterday and the day before about how little news there was of Staten Island - we saw how that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I am back in Staten Island over my aunt's house. I went home today because I thought I had power. I didn't get power back yet. Going on 72 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I am back in Staten Island over my aunt's house. I went home today because I thought I had power. I didn't get power back yet. Going on 72 hours. Me neither, no power yet. Anyone who says power is coming back on slowly is dreaming. This morning 77% of nassau was in the dark, now its 75%, at this rate power wont be back until December. And again, the mayor is to blame for those deaths, downplaying the storm and nto calling for evacuations when everyone else knew it was a serious threat. Why nobody is calling for his resignation is perplexing...i mean im angry, why isnt anyone else doing anything about this clown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Last night I spoke with people in the POCONOS who drove over 60 miles from NJ and still waited in 20 minute lines in the poconos for gas. It's horrible. My cousin in Belmar is making a gas run TO TRENTON tomorrow with the containers for generators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
