As someone who managed a utility company staging area post Hurricane Michael, it's better to overestimate power loss and have reserves ready to go than be short. 

Yup. Thank you. So many do not understand this. 

Underestimating can cost a tremendous increase in the length of outages

I can’t decipher much of a synoptic level trend, but I do wonder how intensity affects this thing. Keep an eye on that today for any last minute effects on the track. 

Maybe a subtle trend for the ridge to be slightly stronger at the end? Could just be noise too:

My sister-in-law works at Eversource. Trust me, they are preparing big time. I also heard the communications in CT aren’t the greatest and were exposed during Isaias.

They get fined per household that’s out after 3 days. And it’s significant . There’s an ES branch a few minutes from here . I see a boatload of out of state trucks filing in

I mean that fine is silly after a certain point. What if a 38 comes? It’s not Eversource that is an issue. I get it for a TS, but eventually we will be knocked into the Stone Age and I wouldn’t blame grid companies.

Plain and simple....Not enough underground infrastructure and/ or trees removed around the lines. People from other parts of the world, including rural zones laugh at our toothpick, above ground power grid.

My 3 friends who work for Eversource will be looking forward to days of overtime incoming.
