Modfan2 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Power back late last evening; after being through TS storms here and Hurricanes in FL I chuckle at the those who wish to see a Hurricane here. A strong CAT 1 or higher would be devastating and most would be without power for 1 to two weeks or greater. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if part of the power restoration issue is, as many people mentioned here, this looked to be a normal wind event vs the high impact one it became? As such, utilities didn't call in outside crews before hand to have them ready to go and are now playing catch-up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I definitely didn’t pay attention to modeling on this , primarily because there was no snow up in ski country . I definitely wish I would have watched the fetch and modeled winds over such an expansive area. There was a run or two from a few days out I took a screen shot of the insane S fetch distance between the modeled low and the high to east of east coast and I was like “wow that is an insane fetch “ . I probably would have tried to chase the surf damage in RI . Huge over achiever all the way up the east coast regarding surge and wave action. That seems to happen often enough with non pure tropical entity systems - under prepared. Doesn’t get the hype of a tropical season entity but when the fetch is a monster the damage over delivers . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think it was a combination of 8” of rain in a week and high winds brought down some big trees; restoration process is moving right along with most fixed within 2-3 days; usually the day after is to survey and get restoration crews in place. People tend to have unrealistic goals of when things should be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genny still running, and it may keep on into the weekend. Some of the worst tree damage I've seen is within 2 miles of our place, including 3 large and 2 medium trees dumped on our 0.4-mile gravel road, 3 fir, one basswood, one a sizable fork from a pine. Most I've run the chainsaw in years. A huge white ash (2 ft diam, 80 ft tall) along Starks Road (Rt 134) tipped from the side toward the river and across 134, stretching the phone cord to the ground and snapping both hot wires. We had winds probably gusting to 50+ from 10A to 2P on Monday in moderate/heavy RA, and the sustained blasts plus increasingly soggy ground led to the blowdowns. The only real cold came shortly after the 12" dump early this month, so essentially no frost in the ground. Total here was 4.21" here, while Farmington sites were 5+ and Temple's 6.01" is the highest I've seen. 2 inches or so mud on parking lots - Irving, McD, Walgreens this AM - looks like 3-4 ft of water at peak. Routte 2 was flooded in several places in New Sharon and Farmington; weeds caught in the bushes/fences show about 3 ft on that highway at peak. Some peak flow top-5s for the Kennebec drainage (K'bec records 1979 on, other 2 from the 1920s): Kennebec (N.

Lava Rock Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Not sure I trust CMP website. ETA on power is Friday, 10pm. Odd because there are roads not far from us that also list the same date, yet had power on this morning. Gonna suck hard if it's 2 more days. I saw where most of the trees were on lines and they have been removed as of this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I was wrong about highest winds being in/around Portland. Still can’t figure out why.
