that must've been wild too we had the Long Island Cat 3 that year.

The 30s had big extremes and also were big la nina years.

Wow the winds are getting really strong again and my windows are rattling

Tornado Warning alert came through while the rotation was almost right on top of me, it went just to the north of me by maybe 1000 feet or so.

Fay was like 55 mph gusts, Isaiah was close to 80 mph.  This was probably a little stronger than Fay but less than Isaiah.

 

It definitely was worse than fay, biggest gust in fay i recorded here was 43 mph, meanwhile I had a 51 mph gust as the squall passed through. Isaias was definitely way worse than either though (I recorded a 69 mph gust in Isaias, which is the highest I've recorded since I first got my weather station for my 16th birthday)

The flag in on my house got pretty beat up, and a wreath flew off the front door, but that's about it

our biggest wind events always seem to happen in the fall.  The aforementioned one in Nov 1989 and Labor Day 1998 are examples (although that was late summer.)  Anyone remember the event we had years ago when the Staten Island Ferry crashed into the pier during a big wind event and 15 people died?  I remember the ferry captain was held liable for that.  What year was that and how strong were the winds?

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that ferry crash was weather related....pilot error . The captains doctor had his license suspended due to the findings.... The doctor happened to be our family doctor also.

Anyone else seeing this?

 

 

[LibertyBell]

That looks a lot faster than 60 mph.....

 

[Rtd208]

Picked up 0.42" of rain when the line came thru earlier this evening.

Five day rainfall total 1.32"

[Nibor]

Still getting some decent gusts.

[LibertyBell]

Winds are high up here too, 10K power outages so far

Lots of trees and power lines down

83 mph gust showing up on North Shore.

Matinecock Pt    N/A     55 N/A N/A W46G83    

 

The 83 mph gust at Matinecock Point was from a WeatherFlow station and was slightly elevated (45 feet or 13.7 m versus standard 10 m anemometer height).  It converts to around 80 mph at standard height.  The station is called Bayville by WeatherFlow, but is actually located at the northern end of Glen Cove, slightly west of Bayville.

Another elevated WeatherFlow station (71 feet or 21.6 m, on top of a lighthouse) in Eatons Neck reported a 80 mph gust, which converts to around 74 mph at standard height.

A Weather Underground station in nearby Centre Island reported a 67 mph gust. 

Per the WeatherFlow stations, gusts on the immediate South Shore were a little lower than on the immediate North Shore.  Highest gust I saw from WeatherFlow stations on the South Shore was 60 mph in Oak Beach near the eastern end of Jones Beach Island.
