State of Emergency was declared by the Maine Governor at 3 pm today, Was one of the lucky ones as we got power back at 3 pm after losing it for 10 hrs, Fire house less then a 1/4 mile FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoalaBeer Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I saw someone mention Methuen earlier. We got hit hard especially west side of town it seems. Not expecting power back until at least tomorrow. Saw a few telephone poles snapped. These huge pines broke off 10-20 feet above the ground. Strongest winds I can remember here in a long time.

mreaves Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 My boss lives in Hinesburg, VT. He was just told that the expected date for power to be restored to his house is November 3rd. Local news is in Stowe. 60% of the town is without power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Remember when folks from other areas were shocked how long it took to get power back in CT after the October snow bomb? This storm will show those folks why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm will show those folks why In that one, we had all those areas in MA on one side of the border that had power back and literally just across the line in CT it was all dark. I remember a lot of posters who lived near the MA/CT border were making a big deal of it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's almost a split down the middle of CT with a majority of the power outages east of the Connecticut River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma blizzard Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 honestly wasn't that bad for winds imby .. but just noticed that ~50 ft tree got snapped in half and landed maybe 30-40 ft from my backyard. Fully leaved which prob made a it a lot easier, but still super impressive for my pit of a location when it comes to wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This is just a couple shots(not mine) of what was quite common around the area. 1st shot is just down the street from my house. They did not clear this until mid afternoon apparently. 2nd is an uprooted tree. Saw a lot of those as well as tress that snapped along the main truck. Roads were closed all over.

The ice storm in '08 and wind event in '10 were memorable for me for hearing the tree damage so loudly and clearly in the pitch dark. Those were a bit frightening. Last night had none of that. For those who experienced that kind of thing or had to evacuate from flooding with this storm I imagine it will be memorable for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone agreed, myself included, that there would be some people hit hard...but for the majority, it would be forgettable....Scott, Will, I...and most all agreed on that beforehand. Seems to me that is what happened. If you want to define "forgettable" by whether or not you lost power....ok, the one million are the ones that got hit hard. But the majority are the balance of NE. I said before hand that because there would be outages, that some would use that as justification even if it underperformed, and that has happened, too.

They had to put a pole up at the bottom of Cross Mill for Thanksgiving 2014 and they did it all within 24hrs. I don’t think I’ve gone 2+ days without power since 1994.

Totally met my expectations with lots of gusts 55 to 80 with 50 sustained on the beaches .I have no idea what you expected but 4 to 5 inches of rain, mega gusts, flash flooding, million plus now without power. No one but you who is into weather will forget this in a week. Strongest non tropical since the Perfect storm. If this were a week later we would have heard of devastating ocean flooding but that was the only negative I see. Period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
