But the huge winds over a wide area that many were predicting did not materialize. The cape largely underperformed btw.

I know...they're a fortune. Would be cool to have them and be completely off the electric grid. A couple years they'll be more reasonable. I priced out a simple backup system using lead acid batteries some years ago and it ends up costing a fortune before you account for maintenance even. In context those powerwalls are a great deal. If you have the panels already it would be very tempting. My dream system for my location is a whole home backup system running on Natural Gas. I don't think it will ever happen as packup power is one of those things that always gets deferred for me and my current setup is OK. I used the small 800w quiet inverter generator I got for the first time last night and was really happy with that. The UPS system I use for my PC + Monitor actually works with it, so during an outage I can fire that up and plug the ups into it so at least my one computer station can run continuously. We have a 5000W gas generator too, but it hasn't seen much use yet. For a longer outage I should conceivably be able to use it for fridge/water/furnace.

The further you go from the usual wind belts, the more memorable it was generally speaking...winds performed decently where they usually do not. It was pretty much an Irene ir Sandy where I am...which isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Planning on borrowing a bunch of ice packs from work and putting all/most of freezer food into coolers. They say online that if refrig has been w/out power for >4hrs, most of the perishables are to be thrown out. It's been 12hrs now, so I assume a lot of wasted food to throw out.

Is there a threadex available anywhere online that has highest gusts for each station? That's always been a variable that is annoyingly hard to find.

Ginx snewx Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 7 detours, generator humming. Incredible night of wind. Obviously no stations nearby but that TAN gust shortly after mine from that gravity wave of 67 pretty much matched up what I guessed. Yes PF I have been in 67 before.

Know any neighbors with large chest freezers? We have one and if the power's out for a while, our neighbor's start knocking on the door. During the ice storm, I stored 2 or 2 neighbor's frozen food. If you end up with a homeowner's claim, the lost food can be added into that. All I can say is that I'm glad we had our roof redone this fall! It really needed it and instead of just picking up lots of branches, I'm sure I would have been finding shingles on the lawn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Luckily it was more of a nor'easter around here but a decent one. Judging from the damage up north, can you imagine if a 1938 happened again given what has transpired with mainly 40-60 mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely noticed areas tha looked like nothing happen, and then around my house which had some good trees and tree limbs down.

My drive from Holliston to Quincy was pretty lackluster for damage except a very small pocket near Dover which had a lot more larger branches down...there definitely must have been some gravity waves or convective elements which created the inconsistency in damage. It's probably also the only way to explain TAN gusting higher than MQE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 All the damage was east in SECT or north of me into high country. Even at work along the water in Norwalk, nothing to take pics of. Drove around during lunch about 10 miles each way and not much besides small limbs down. I was expecting more down this way.

I didn't drive around much and probably not as bad as TAN, but definitely messy in spots around the neighborhood. If I go a few blocks over, I didn't even see a branch down. Of course it is down the hill, but interesting. Probably typical of 50-60 stuff I would guess or a few ticks higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
