Way too far out to even worry about at this point. Getting one 2 years in a row would be ridiculous statistically.

I believe you're thinking of 1954?

Hurricane Carol August 31, 1954 made landfall in NY then Hurricane Edna September 11, 1954 made landfall in MA.

Carol was 19.2 Billion in damage in todays dollar. Edna was 3.2 Billion in Damage.

The only October Hurricane I can find was October 10, 1894 Category 1 hurricane in Connecticut
Landfall in Patchogue, NY & Clinton, CT... 85 m.p.h. sustained winds at NY landfall....978mb pressure at NY landfall

omg. Thats right. how can I forget them. Gees. Thanks. So 2 years in a row we had back to back Hurricanes.

Anything is possible with weather, we just been living in quiet times, thats all. GFS is coming out now... Still on Friday's timeframe has Hurricane Sandy sitting off Florida's coast. Trough moving east. Looks like it wants to phase already.

GFS18z at hour 96 Saturday. Hurricane Sandy now off the coast of South Carolina and looks like its phasing.

Sunday Morning a 960mb Low still in the Atlantic Parallel to North Carolina... Next few frames will tell us what it wants to do with it.

Frequent (yearly) big storms that cause major power outages in many towns might just convince me to stay here in Stratford, where we always seem to keep power. Knock on wood.

Latest 18zGFS is OTS again. Cloudy skies and drizzle in CT. It stands alone in this solution

From NWS Upton:

FORECAST COMPLEXITIES ARISE EARLY NEXT WEEK...SPECIFICALLY WITH THE
HANDLING OF THE POST-TROPICAL PHASE OF TROPICAL STORM SANDY EARLY
NEXT WEEK. NHC FORECASTS SANDY TO MOVE NEARLY DUE NORTH TOWARD THE
BAHAMAS THROUGH FRI MORNING AND THEN NORTHEAST THEREAFTER...BECOMING
A POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE UPON REACHING 31N 70.5W BY SUNDAY MORNING.
ITS INTERACTION WITH A DEVELOPING OMEGA BLOCK CONSISTING OF A
BLOCKING UPPER HIGH OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC...AN OCEAN STORM OVER
THE CENTRAL NORTH ATLANTIC...AND A DIGGING...NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER
TROUGH FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE OHIO VALLEY...IS CRITICAL IN
DETERMINING THE FUTURE EVOLUTION OF THIS STORM. THERE COULD STILL BE
A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STORM TO UNDERCUT THE BLOCK AND HEAD
EAST INTO THE OPEN ATLANTIC PER THE OPERATIONAL GFS...SOME GFS
ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND THE GLOBAL GEM...BUT AT THE SAME TIME A GROWING
NUMBER OF GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE SIDING WITH THE MORE CONSISTENT
ECMWF SOLUTION OF TAKING THE STORM NORTHWARD ALONG 70W
THEREAFTER...AND MAKING A NW TURN BACK TOWARD THE EAST COAST BY
MON-TUE AS THE STORM PHASES WITH AND/OR UNDERGOES FUJIWARA
INTERACTION WITH THE DIGGING UPPER TROUGH...AND AS THE DOWNSTREAM
BLOCKING HIGH OFFERS LITTLE CHANCE OF AN OUT-TO-SEA PATH. WHERE AND
WHEN ANY SUCH NW TURN OF THE STORM WOULD TAKE PLACE...AND AT WHAT
INTENSITY...ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN...AS THE ECMWF COULD BE TOO PHASED/
AMPLIFIED AND TOO FAR WEST...AND AS THE NW-BENDING GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS DISAGREE ON THE POINT OF ANY NW RECURVATURE...OCCURRING
ANYWHERE FROM 55W TO 70W. FORECAST DETAILS NECESSARILY REMAIN
SKETCHY AT THIS POINT. WINDY CONDS...HEAVY RAIN AND SOME COASTAL
FLOODING COULD EVENTUALLY BECOME LIKELY...WITH A WORST CASE
SCENARIO OF FLOODING RAINS...DAMAGING WINDS...AND SIGNIFICANT
COASTAL FLOODING...FOR PARTS OF THE AREA. STAY TUNED.
