It may be funny to you but not so funny to Otis and his four cousins. It's going to take anywhere from 8 to 21 days to restore service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see this as one of those boy-who-cried-wolf situations like the '78 blizzard. A prior hyped event that fails to materioalize makes everyone complacent when the next one comes along. Of course, the only thing more rare than a hurricane in NE is two hurricanes in NE. I don’t think a state of emergency was declared. They basically said use caution.

I think we all knew that western turn was gonna happen after landfall… it’s been fun watching this storm zigzag itself through various atmospheric elements… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen worse afternoon thunderstorms produce more wind and rain. Thunderstorm?

radarman Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'll believe the cry-wolf effect is still a thing as I breeze through the checkout line someday with a blizzard or a cane bearing down on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tavwtby Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 so far, .70" of rain here, highest gust was 18, less than 10 sustained... and to think how insane the news made everyone yesterday rushing the stores around here, thinking the sky was falling. even my dad, knowing I've been following and studying weather for the better part of the last 4 decades, still watching the news and parking his car away from a 200 year old tree... unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much up on the hill here either for wind. It’s now or never for gusts....really between now and 3-4pm. We’re seeing temps/dews rise a bit into the low 70s so that may try to help the good 925 winds mix down, but the clock is ticking. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar velocities are decent down here but aside from a few decent gusts, it's really not blowing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerz_nailz Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Strongest gusts the last 20 mins or so. Top half of a skinny 40’ tree snapped off and a few 10-20’ branches down around the yard. Power went out for 5 minutes but back on for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitinsvilleWX Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I even stacked my lounge chairs up on the pool deck, took the umbrella out of its stand, moved the deck box under cover, and got 15 gallons of gas for the Ginny. Not to mention I got to drag the generator back down to the shed. Gonna need a hellava lot of snow this winter to burn that much gas in the Ariens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherWilly Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Sun has been shining in westerly. They aren't in the eye like the police chief just said, that passed more than 90 minutes ago. Just the storm isn't too impressive at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
