SouthBuffaloSteve Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Going to be a noisy night that’s for sure. BUF already gusting to 53mph last hour and winds aren’t forecasted to peak for another 5 hours. Got caught off guard taking the kids out trick or treating earlier tonight those winds just blew up out of no where. Was thinking it would be a build up behind the front when it passed at 7 but it was like a wall. Had to book it back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Canadian side by Dunnville in Haldimand County if you guys know the area. Worst lake conditions I've ever seen here. Minor damage is already occurring all along the lakefront. (trees down, fences ripped out by the waves, ect..) luckily no major damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 A portion of my $8000 vinyl fence fell apart due to the wind. I had it installed in late August. I think it was due to me hiring a con artist contractor (friend of a friend) to do the work more then the strength of the winds. We are going to small claims court against him. A life lesson earned the hard way, always do your research before doing anything on your home. Home advisor, BBB, facebook reviews, etc...A $4,000 mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Well it didnt over perform, and it didnt bust. Pretty much did exactly what was forecast. Currently over 130 separate outages (~10,000 people) in the Rochester area so thats somewhat noteworthy. A fun little wind event for an enthusiast such as myself. I'll give it a 7 out of 10. Im sad to see it go though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one of the posts which was rotted almost entirely through replaced over the summer - glad we did because the addition was shaking in the wind last night.

Nothing particularly special. It was early in the year with leaves still on trees and saturated unfrozen ground That makes a big difference with re: damage and outages. The sieche was solid and i believe highest in a while (10 ft 6") but some of that is due to the very high antecedent lake levels (running 4 ft over low water datum).

OSUmetstud Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Strongest winds were on the canadian side as the low took a while to get going. Kingston to 107 km/h (66 mph) and Montreal to 105 km/h (65 mph) is not too shabby. Im still a bit suspicious of port colburne obs. I know its on the pier but the ob of 102g130 km/h is super intense and seemingly out of whack compared to other sites and the synoptics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 That was definitely one of the more damaging wind storms we have seen in a while. Trees and power lines down on almost every street here. The lake shore flooding down in Hamburg looked pretty wild. The seiche got so high it even backed the Buffalo River up into the first ward and several homes had to be evacuated. Lots of large trees into homes surprised no one was hurt or killed.Also saw that two sections of the inner harbor break wall were washed away. Just crazy.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
