BrianW Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Is there a way to see past radar loops on radarscope? I lost cell and wifi right when it came over. Upton did good a good job getting out the tornado warning. Everyone I talked their phones blew up with the warning well before it hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianW Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Just heard they are sending in the National Guard. The entire grid is down in Branford. So many roads are impassable from trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 My girlfriend lives in Branford. She says trees blocking roads everywhere, and a tree came down in front of her on the way home from work. Took her 3 hrs for a 20 min trip. This was somewhere on Rt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else heard anything? That's called Thursday on the parkway. That highway is a death trap from falling trees, curves and hills, 100 ft exit ramps, and on ramps with stop signs at the end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s tons of yellows and browns in the woods and driving all around . Looks like a fur foliage season again. Let’s hope Saturday performs.

Yeah I would never go on it unless I was desperate to bypass 95 and the post rd. If there's even the slightest bit of inclement weather trees come crashing down. The interesting part of that is when it was built there weren't all those trees around. I've seen pictures of what it looked like when it first opened and it didn't look like a highway jammed through a forest as it does today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very scenic drive, but definitely was not designed with modern day driving in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTFarmer Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have a place on Leete's Island in Guilford and that was more damage than Sandy or Irene. A fine plastering of vegetive matter on windows and screens. Lot of extremely well-weathered and very strong trees down. My dingy tied to my dock was flipped-over, had to recover it while the tide was high and some daylight left (save the 5hp motor!). Weird observation- at about 6pm (an hour after the main storm) the water in Leete's Island Bay was surging in/out every 10-15 minutes about 12 inches (not exaggerating). Happened three distinct times, then subsequently faded. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super-curious if this is water pushed from the storm(s) and it was sloshing around Long Island Sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
