Tolland, Windham, NL? Not so much. Let’s sit back and watch things play out as the storm actually moves in later today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 BID is back online. Almost reaching TS verification. Sustained winds 27 knots at the top of the hour. Gusting to 48 knots. 998.1mb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The hype is out of control. Non stop coverage for what will essentially be a rainstorm in Most of CT lolololol I think it was warranted to some degree. Was probably worth emphasizing that Henri’s wind impacts were not likely to be as widespread as Sandy…but had this thing peaked at a Cat 2 yesterday and stayed in the further west course…it could’ve been bad across CT. It just irks me that no one wants to be the first station to backdown from the hype. You don’t even have to completely poo poo it as this point. But it’s pretty obvious at this point the wind threat here in CT much less a concern than it was. Still worth highlighting the flash flood potential.

SnoSki14 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Imagine being mad because a major hurricane didn't blow your house away. Also the media hypes these things all the time, that's nothing new. The problem will be that next time there is a real threat people will ignore it. When Irene was less than feared for many a lot of people downplayed Sandy a year later which was a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldub23 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Yall should be happy. Like us in VA you normally just get decaying remnants of a storm after its been over land. At least this one is a direct hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non stop coverage for what will essentially be a rainstorm in Most of CT lolololol I sort of get it from what Ryan said… CT has seen some ridiculous power outages for what models had as rather mundane storms. Hearing the amount of days some posters have been without power in recent years… It would be easier to lean towards hype. Judging by what everyone around here says they are expecting to lose power if there are 40mph gusts, ha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have JB posting irresponsible garbage like he did but it becomes the front line of forecasting that isn’t good. The NWS was pretty conservative and in point this whole time.

That’s exactly it no one wants to be the first to pull the plug. I remember March 2001 in NYC the local channels still had reporters in Times Square for an inch of slush. Tough call but at some point you say it’s not happening as we thought and pull the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
