It became extra tropical and phased right around NYC metro, hence also began tracking due north...That’s also why the wind impact broadened for our sub forum despite it tracking much further west.

jm1220 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 1 hour ago, jbenedet said: Not weird... The pressure gradient was much more representative of a tropical system at that latitude. MTP is almost 90 miles east of FRG and never really got into the action, that plus pressure gradient and proximity to the center. Still so strange to me how windy it was where I am but with less than 0.25” rain. I’m about 5 miles north of FRG and my neighborhood was completely trashed. I could only imagine what would’ve been if it struck NC at 110-115mph instead of 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 BID did gust to 51kts though. MTP just got skipped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 700K plus were out yikes We have 100s of crews working across CT to restore power after Tropical Storm Isaias caused widespread, historic damage to the electric system. As of 10 a.m., crews have restored power to more than 100,000 customers since the storm began and ~617,000 remain without power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wonder what kind of damage Hazel did in NY, NJ and CT. There was a 100mph + gust at battery park. I can't find any descriptions of the damage without digging up archived local newspapers from the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
