I might be missing a couple others, maybe March 2018? And those trees are going to be sitting in people's yards for quite some time. Almost impossible to schedule tree companies even before the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, less outages on Aquidneck Island. Most of the outages started at around 5:30 or so, must have been some big gusts... 77 at URI. Lots of roads closed and trees down per friends from Hopkinton to Wakefield RI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair I haven’t seen much of Plymouth county this go around. Yeah, now that I recall..March 2018 was the storm where a giant pine came about 5 ft away from taking me out while on the toilet. That one some wild winds, and I'm guessing there was more of an inversion to deal with? .so quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Torch Tiger said: That makes sense, outside of microbursts, Bobs max wind gusts on the upper cape away from the coast weren't terribly high...like 65-80mph. Otis didn't crack 80 iirc. Also, it was a dry storm. Not everywhere. The 6.41" I had in Gardiner, Maine is the greatest calendar-day rain I've measured since beginning to observe in 1962. Bob is also the only TC of my experience in which the backside winds G60+) were as strong as frontside, though 95% of the rain came before the switch. (Greatest in 24 hr came August 1971 in NNJ from Doria [5.10" during the wee hours] plus the PRE [3.80'] the day before.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Pretty cool radar… similar in look to upslope. I’m assuming it’s speed convergence as the fast flow off the water slows due to land friction and you get lift/precip along the South Shore in consistently same spots, with the best echos mirroring the coastline orientation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
