Typhoon Tip Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 14 minutes ago, Ed, snow and hurricane fan said: You watch typhoon chasing videos from Taiwan or the Japanese islands, power often does not go out and building suffer little damage. If a typhoon is going to hit every 2 or 3 years, the millions of dollars per mile to bury power cables makes sense. For a once every 25 year tropical cyclone event in New England, it is harder to justify. That was the thinking behind not improving the Texas power grid after weaknesses became obvious in a fairly mild cold snap in 2011, the big February freeze was a once every 3 or 4 decade event. I assume the wind turbines will be winterized as they are elsewhere in America, and natural gas storage will increase, since cold weather increases the demand for gas for both home heating and power generation. But areas where extreme events are rare, someone makes a risk/reward calculation. In February, the risk turned out to be greater than the reward of money saved. What about a grid challenging winter storm at a mean return rate of 5 threats a winter or whatever it is... I realize your point and agree, but I'm just mentioning that snark because it's not a tough counter-argument to ferret out along 40 N and the same bs maintenance lapsing has taken place up here - oh, not as bad, perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have really been gone too many years if you think that is correct . You lived in this area. I challenge you to remember what actually verifies in this area on strong SSE flow .

Typhoon Tip Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Anyway ... ... again, just because this may not end up category 2, doesn't make it ignore-able. Not that anyone is... straw man. We'll have to see how the system maintains over the shelf waters there- but TS winds are dramatic enough. And as we've noted, the ground being fairly hydro loaded and easterly /or SE wind gusts tend to be a vulnerable wind direction for foliage even before that. SO, that climo with wet gound... Plus, we probably are going have a tor watch issued across the region at some point. So, it's a fun day man - let it unfold Hey is anyone else getting the NGRID texts on their phones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
