When New England hasn't seen a land-falling Hurricane in many posters here lifetime, I'd say it's noteworthy. I wasn't alive for Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pure NE landfall is more of a slow-down prior to landfall. But it's a little too early to know for sure on these interactions. That is key...if you want a truly devastating landfall, hope for west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 33 minutes ago, Snugharbor said: Is this trending westward "nudge" an indication Henri isn't going to intensify a hell of a lot -- and/or the trough that's to the west is stronger than indicated? Or both? What's the reason for the continual "movement" that way. Or is some of it related to the storm itself just being further to the west at the moment than anticipated. The power outtages suck but we're used to it. It's more the coastal high tide/full moon coinciding that is the concern for us. Not sure if this will embed correctly, but see the trend of the steering currents. The orientation of the eastern US trough is more supportive of a northward pull, rather than the more “typical” sling to the NNE/NE: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 16 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: I feel comfortable saying this won't be nearly as destructive as Sandy was. It's so much smaller. That is not the same as saying it won't be destructive somewhere....it probably will, but likely a much smaller area and probably less intense. edit: I did already say earlier that the "left hook" aspect could be similar....which will need to be watched carefully for localized big storm surge somewhere. Okay ...you're talking about something else: impact specifics ... I was just referring to the meteorological shit. Heh... Yeah, I wouldn't care to debate the other popsicle headache discussion. It's subjective to experience making that non-influential, but objectively, there's not likely to be any empirical comparison UNLESS this thing Cat 4's outta nowhere and expands radii and all that... who knows.
