SnowBrosForever Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Gusts to 24 out here. .01 rainfall. Unimpressive as expected. Dark & stormy but *way* too warm for a fire in the fireplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was smart and called Verizon this morning figuring this would happen and changed temporary to a daily unlimited data so using phone as hotspot. 25% of the NH Coop does not have power and backside winds are just arriving. Lots of gusts into the 30's but peak wind so far 42mph This is not going to be a quick power outage. Tried to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early April event was taking off my roof. But this was good. At least locally. Was convective so some areas did well and others no. Last October was way worse. We moved our kids from their bedrooms. Sounds like PYM county did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 2 hour burst of 40-50mph gusts with some limbs down..but I feel like this happens several times a year so meh. I mean, I'll take it but nothing too impressive. March 1st 2018 and the storm earlier this spring were gustier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don’t want to lose power. Gusts to 40mph seems to be where we start to lose power from the damn white pines on Cady Hill. A bit over 1.5” of rain, will probably be close to the modeled 2” of rainfall most models showed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the additional .75” of rain that we didn’t need, it’s been pretty much a nonevent in Greenfield. Getting a little bit gusty right now though. Patches of blue sky breaking out. maybe 0.2 inches here, not enough 2 hours ago, ineedsnow said: Springfield? Yeah, downtown across the park from Tower Square, both windows faced southwest. Here is the conference room window, on the floor: We also lost a window in a cubicle that was occupied earlier in the day. I had encouraged staff in the office to work from home in the afternoon, I was about to go home and we had a power surge that knocked out the server so I was dealing with getting it rebooted so everyone could keep working remotely, and all hell broke loose, well maybe not all hell, but two windows anyway.

CT Valley Snowman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just took a very nasty ride from Enfield through Longmeadow MA to my parents house on the border on the border with Springfield. Multiple detours , numerous trees and branches down, several trees hanging over wires, a couple wires on fire, debris falling on the car definitely adrenaline-pumping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanks45 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just got the automated call from the town, 75% of Newtown is without power....reading the Facebook page it seems like every other road is closed due to trees and powerlines down, quite reminiscent of the May Tornado a few years back. I was not up here for Sandy or Irene, so I can not compare to this one. This was the best duration windstorm I have ever experienced. The sustained winds of the July (2013?) Mid Atlantic derecho were more impressive as was the overall experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC-CT Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Took a ride through town...decent amount of big branches and some smaller trees down. Nothing uprooted thanks to the drought. But decent event, better than a typical high wind warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 What a journey home. Tons of trees down in Branford/North Branford. I usually always take back roads from Branford to North Branford to Wallingford and catch 91 there so I avoid 95. Debated on not doing that tonight in case roads were closed or power lines were down. anyways, I said screw it and did it. As I was driving I couldn’t believe the trees down/debris. I get to probably about a mile from the highway (of a 12-mile journey) and boom...tree across middle of road. So I had to turn around. Luckily, the detour wasn’t much...ended up turning down a side street I’ve always wondered where it led. Was basically just a tad longer loop to the highway. driving along 91 there were some downed trees along the highway. Getting into Windsor Locks...I was impressed by the 1.5 mile drive from highway to my house with the amount of trees/limbs down. Even a huge section without power. Saw a tree down upon entering the driveway to the complex and then this was in my neighbors yard 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Maybe because it was localized, but it got close to last year. House shook and that’s when damage happened. Sounded worse to my SE. The heavy rain and wind won’t be forgotten. That was awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Seeing all the posts about the worst being in Mass still, giving me up here in Maine some hope, lots of power flickering, UPSes keep clicking to battery then back to line, but nothing major yet.
