It's probably also the only way to explain TAN gusting higher than MQE. Captured, much like a tropical banding feature rise fall couplets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Exactly but not worth arguing. Some folks just don't get it. Ask my daughter if it was "memorable" as her roof was torn off and she faces a cold week without power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The presence of social media helps etch events like this in people's heads so they'll remember it for years to come but IMO this event will certainly be memorable...even for people who weren't directly impacted and that's b/c people will probably know someone who was or they see/hear about it on the news/social media. I mean just look back at some events...the BDL tornado in 1979...how many people did that directly impact? Not many but I've talked to people who didn't even live in Windsor Locks but remember that day...same thing with the Hamden tornado and the 2011 tornado. It is tough though to find such an event that really meets this one. It's tough to knock over 1 million w/o power and not have it be a memorable event.

Hazey Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Man storm + Sallie trees = hard times for you folks. Had gusts to 100km/h (62mph) here. Pretty meh. Some leaves and pine needles down from what I can see. No power disruptions in my local area although there were a few pockets. We have hardy tree growth I guess...lol.

Hoth Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 No sign of power restoration here. Will need a transformer replaced. I've got 30lbs of ice in my fridge and all my meat/cheese etc in a cooler. Got a fire going, a Guinness in hand and reading by candlelight. Take it in stride and chill like its 1899.

CT Valley Snowman Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Damage was scattered in nature around here. I ran across mainly a few branches and limbs as opposed to whole trees but there was reports of a few trees down here and there, I saw one down on 91 Northbound side in the woods and my wife reported some problems with wires down on South Rd this morning but overall nothing widespread. My best estimate for a highest gust here was maybe 45-50 mph range around 1 AM. I believe BDL was gusting to 45 mph at that time but I am about 6 to 7 miles east of them so I can imagine perhaps being a few mph higher. Not bad for such a low valley location but like I said yesterday I had a hard time believing we were going to verify HWW gusts here. Very cool storm regionwide. NNE reports are particularly impressive. Looks like our family's summer cabin town of MT. Vernon Maine is almost 100 percent without power.

Not thatanomalous....what increased the impact was tge foliage and wet ground. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
