If this damage was done by a named system it would probably be easier It will be in the hundreds of millions or even billions of losses in infrastructure and winter tourism.

In my county we had one club that had to rebuild 13 bridges and replace 8 culverts. I'm afraid to think what may be out there today. That really sucks for you guys, those VT hills picking up speed and funnelling water is no joke. Here is the brand new bridge in Strong Maine they built gone again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base areas that pond water that rushes down the slopes must be a sight to see after 4”plus ran down the mountain , combined with the high dews and snow Melting fog that all had for a substantial time . Man made holds on better but it wasn’t marginal 35 conditions . They torched in fog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t care if it’s a bit exposed. It’s not like it’s got 2k+ feet of prominence. Stack like half a dozen tall trees on top of each other to get there. Yeah it’s been awhile since they gusted that high. I think I saw 1996? I feel like I recall a few extreme gusts there in the early 90s (maybe Mar 93 too?). But I’m not necessarily surprised since you had 90-100kt slamming the coast at H92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthCoastMA Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 How high above a roof does an anemometer need to be to get more accurate readings? Mines about 6ft above the highest point on my roof, away from the chimney..but it still seems like turbulence is causing some issues. Only record a 34mph gust yesterday, when it reality we were in the 60's (or at least 50s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what a reasonable conversion factor would be between 1-sec and 3-sec. Maybe 85%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drstuess Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Have you seen any storm surge numbers for yesterday . I figured some south facing coasts saw a decent rise east of center .Pvd hit ~9 ft, or about 5 feet above the predicted high tide. 1938 was 12.67 feet above sea level.

I'm not sure, I have power here in the mill and i was home yesterday and they told me it just flickered a few times, I would say the majority do not have a generator as i have spoken with two of our accounts today that are working under flashlights or candles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's high but their amazing gust was 186mph during the Hurricane of 1938. During that hurricane they also had 121mph sustained. According to Wikapedia that is the strongest hurricane surface wind ever recorded in the United States 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hardware chain up there is one of my clients and they fly off the shelves every storm... Usually they try to get extra units in the days leading up to an event. But the number of folks without still very much out weighs the number that do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
