If I'm not mistaken Bob tracked slightly farther east but I don't believe significantly so. I gusted up to 100 with a half inch of rain or less in Bob, and barely 75-80 in Gloria with a trace of rain. There hasn't been anything comparable in SE New England tropics wise since Bob. WBZ 4 Boston Met Bruce Schwoegler was forecasting wind gusts to 200 MPH in advance of Gloria. Expand Heh, Schwoegler once forecast 20-30" of snow for me and I got 0".

Expand He did take it too far, but it would have been nice to see the other posts moved here (minus the argument stuff of course.) Perhaps we should have two banter threads, one for inane joking around silly stuff and the other one for people who want to reminisce about past storms. There are some very useful lessons to learn from past storms and their behavior. Because of having been through Gloria and a few other similar storms, I'll never expect a major hurricane to hit this region and will be extremely suspicious of any model that shows such a hit.

psv88 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's crazy that all homes in the Caribbean aren't made out of block. How is it possible that people live in wooden houses with tin roofs in 2017? It's mind boggling. I understand the economic factor, but it's still astounding that these people are just sitting ducks. Florida has done a great job since Andrew. My father returned home today to his house in Naples and other than a destroyed lanai and minor cosmetic roof damage, his house was fine. All of his trees were down, but the house itself fared fine. If irma hit my wood frame house on LI I'm not sure what would happen. I assume the walls would hold up, but I can't see the roof staying on in 140 mph wind gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't get much severe weather (tornadoes could do as much damage as a major hurricane, just over a smaller area), we don't get droughts, we don't get direct hits from major hurricanes.

That entire time period is chock full of forecast busts (mostly on the winter side though, both positive and negative busts- positive busts Jan 1978, PD1, negative busts- Feb 1989, Dec 1989, March 2001, Jan 2008, etc., as you can see the negative list is far longer lol) Also no internet back then, so we had to rely on what local meteorologists were telling us and no model watching (which is half the fun.)

Expand Yep- there's an eye and it's about 45 miles wide, so it expanded after its interaction with PR and re-emergence back out over the water. I didn't know that any of this was in dispute lol. It's still a major (or rather back up to Cat 3 after going down to Cat 2) but definitely not what it once was. The hurricane has expanded in size though, so conservation of momentum has been maintained, but don't know if it'll matter much since the path of the storm has now been adjusted to the east so sustained hurricane force winds may not be felt in any inhabited areas (not even the Bahamas or DR.)
