Good to see my estimate of the storm impact is gaining traction now among the meteorology community. 

Any comparison to Sandy is irresponsible. Sandy was fueled by an enormous high speed jet interaction with a side Cat 2 hurricane that slowly built up a massive wall of water. No comparison

I am one of the most skilled tropical forecasters on this board.  I was ringing alarm bells about hurricane conditions in SNE and RFQ impacts well before anyone else on this board.  You have to give credit where it is due.

I shouldn't be five posted just because I have skill in forecasting these events. 

 

Link to your skill scores?

I would much rather lose power for a week then have flooding problems. Losing power is merely just an inconvenience. Flooding...well that can be just devastating 

no that is not true. Losing power over a long period of time can be way more than an inconvenience for most. possible to lose all frozen and refrigerated foods, people on wells have no water, etc.

Yeah... they're being unkind in the bun Tsunamis but ...  if you are really on the Jersey shore, I would not assess "storm impact gaining traction" for your location.

In fact, if it approaches CT from the SSE, you may end up in strikingly beautiful lighter winds pushing 79/75 tropical balm, while the heaviest rain is up the coast toward NYC.   

Trauma of Sandy may guide more so than present 'clearer' impression of threat assessing, but ..as there are no certainties in the weather-related risk game, it can't hurt to be prepared.  And one should always monitor, either way.

you can lose your entire home and pretty much everything you own, not to mention life, from flooding. Food can be replaced. You can adapt to losing power...hard to adapt to your house being flooded out.

There is some uncertainty in the exact position of Henri given the 
recent aircraft fixes and the tilt of the vortex, but the initial 
motion appears to be northwestward at 6 kt.  A trough over the 
central Appalachians is expected to cut off tonight, and the 
combination of that feature and a building ridge to the 
east/northeast of Henri should cause the storm to turn northward 
tonight and accelerate in that direction on Saturday. Some of the 
models show a slight bend to the west around the time Henri is 
forecast to make landfall on Sunday, and there remains a fair amount 
spread in the guidance in where the center of Henri will come 
ashore.  The latest GFS and ECMWF ensemble members span a region 
from near New York City to Cape Cod for the landfall point.  Based 
on the latest consensus aids and initial position, the official 
track forecast is nudged to the west of the previous one and shows 
landfall occurring by late Sunday.  After day 3, Henri is forecast 
to eject northeastward across the Gulf of Maine.

The ongoing northerly shear is expected to decrease later today, and 
the global models show a favorable upper-level wind pattern 
developing over the storm later today through the weekend.  These 
more conducive atmospheric conditions combined with the warm Gulf 
Stream waters should allow Henri to strengthen to a hurricane 
tonight or early Saturday with additional intensification expected 
into Saturday night.  By early Sunday, however, Henri is forecast to 
cross the north wall of the Gulf Stream, and that should end its 
opportunity for strengthening. Although steady to rapid weakening is 
forecast while Henri moves over cooler waters south of New England, 
it will likely still be at or very near hurricane intensity when it 
reaches the coast. Post-tropical transition is forecast to occur in 
3 to 4 days, and the new forecast shows Henri dissipated by day 5, 
in agreement with most of the global models.

By the time you have a guarantee it will be too late.  IMO, the real questions to ask yourself are: what is your crop worth, how much of your crop could potentially be saved by doing this, and how much up the shitter you are if you lose it all.  

All good considerations. We are currently purchasing stakes and preparing for the worst.

No guarantees but if you give some edibles I can predict your winds tomorrow at noon for Sunday lol.  You probably gust to 50 though. Very close to the ocean. But if you are behind the hills by the golf course less but down by the turf fields more.

Lol! We unfortunately don't produce those types of edibles. We are in a well protected area by the golf courses and usually have minimal wind relative to the area, but our ground is very soft with all of the rain we've had and the soil is not holding the plants as well as we'd like.

Gravity waves are fun, but the center still isn't the center, or close to it, thankfully.  All that stuff is southeast.

Certainly true that it's not yet aligned. But the center is under the edge of the convection  and even though convective bursts don't last forever, it should help the system align. Shear is definitely lessened
