TalcottWx Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 1 minute ago, wx_observer said: And whomever decided that a tropical system with sustained winds of 39+ was worthy of a warning to begin with… The initial scale was developed by Herbert Saffir, a structural engineer, who in 1969 went on commission for the United Nations to study low-cost housing in hurricane-prone areas.[7] While conducting the study, Saffir realized there was no simple scale for describing the likely effects of a hurricane. Mirroring the utility of the Richter magnitude scale for describing earthquakes, he devised a 1–5 scale based on wind speed that showed expected damage to structures. Saffir gave the scale to the NHC, and Simpson added the effects of storm surge and flooding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't information that anyone can use...Especially the day before a storm. People who are prepared with generators were prepared well before (with the exception of a few last minute generator sales at Lowes.). Eversource is preparing regardless of the pretty colors. All that map does is add additional stress to those who don't have alternative power sources. Last evening TWC was mentioning dangerous storm surge in Boston.....only if this happens... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've outsmarted all of the media and meteorologists tracking the storm Dude. You seem to be assigning me thoughts and feelings I don't have. This has been very well forecast imo. I was aware of a threat and prepared. It doesn't need to be on the upper end of a range of possibilities for that preparation to make sense. Indeed, a tree could still fall on my house, though I tend to doubt it. I don't think I know anything much, not am I second guessing anyone. I can however look at radar, as well as a weather station, and a window. I'm not rip and reading qpf, but I'm also simply not seeing where crazy wind intensity is going to come from, here, right here, the only place I made a comment about. I'm not talking about busts. I'm not whining, I'm not talking about anywhere else. I said I'd briefly pass through the edge of the small core of the storm as it deteriorated, and thereafter there will be little rain. Thats a statement of fact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I credit ours for remaining more civil? But that is probably owing to the fact that there isn't as much foot traffic in a "New England Tropical" anything, for obvious reasons.
