"We're gonna need a bigger plow..." Massive, persistent singal now emerges discretely in the models, 20th-23rd

[Lava Rock]

Just went from 18k to 30k on the last power outage update.

On the way to 380k

just had another flicker and a 45mph gust, nuts out there, trees around the house really worry me in situations like this

Hilltops FTW so far, not much here in the valley yet. However enough to impair some of the decrepit power grid. The tree trimming effort around here is so useless. If there's trees 30 feet above a line, trimming the lower branches really doesn't help anything. But people violently complain when they try to remove trees

That must be super intense down there! Who's the lucky one stuck outside?

yeah I've been complaining about that for years, and people who complain about them trimming around power lines, if they do try to trim, have no stance when they loose power because of it

power went off for a minute heard the transformer humming, branch musta been hitting it, sky lite green

Same here...power is now out and have saw the light from the transformer a few times as well. Strongest wind I can remember. 

[moneypitmike]

While In the big scheme of things I think this will be pretty meh, my hood does tend to lose power so I won't be surprised if I go dark at some point.

Nothing like the light and sound of a transformer blowing.  

[TalcottWx]

We're going to be over 65k shortages in a few minutes.

How much snow did you end up with last night? I drove from Manchester CT back to Westfield MA about 7pm and the roads were slick when I got past Suffield!

[fz583]

My power is out, heard the fire alarm chirping from a dead sleep, thought it was the C02 going off, didn't realize the power was out and almost went through the wall like the Kool-Aid man. Great way to wake up. 

[weatherwiz]

57K without power in CT. Me FTL 

[TalcottWx]

[TalcottWx]

There is some kind of embedded line rolling through here. Can see it on radar and velocity.

Sill not much here in Sims. There was a quick intense gust about 4:30 when a thunderstorm moved through. Probably what caused the outages here

[Baroclinic Zone]

35-45mph here.  No issues with power as of yet.

[Damage In Tolland]

These are violent gusts now. Super impressive 

[Baroclinic Zone]

1.16" in the bucket thus far and a peak gust of 30mph on the station.

3/4  maybe a inch?  route 2 was a mess

[WxWatcher007]

So much for not posting. Ripping wind with a max gust of 30 mph at the wx station. Winds have died down recently.

An absolutely MASSIVE power flash took power for a few minutes and another huge surge brought it back. Incredible.

Now that it's getting light, you can start posting pictures of the damage.

[WinterWolf]

30 mph is ripping? Lol.
