[quote=7 Wishes;20520885]The 50s had Hazel (1954, 113 mph gust in NYC, fastest non-tornado wind speed ever recorded there) and both Connie and Diane in 1955 flooding up the Northeast!

…and don’t forget of course the strongest off them all in the 1950’s - Hurricane Carol (Aug 31, 1954).

To this day, Carol of 1954 is the most intense tropical cyclone to ever strike Connecticut/Rhode Island since 1938. In fact, in the last 150 years…only the 1869 Hurricane and the 1938 Hurricane produced stronger winds and higher storm surges than Carol in Connecticut:

Forgot about Carol, I knew there were quite a few of them then (well before I was born, but I'm into weather history).

Model Update on Possible Hurricane

Since we're mid range now,(6-9days) other models are coming into play. The original is taking it into the Gulf so it would jst be a Tropical rain event for us.

2 other models have it on Florida East side but stops there because it's not in model range. That path would affect us.

Stay tuned.

[Cambium]

Heads up on storms today... SPC has 15% hail risk...Storms firing up in PA and West NY right now...

Might be a messy commute today

[Cambium]

Latest Model Has it hitting Florida as a Cat2 then moving up the coast as a Cat 1. Has it sitting next to NJ and Long Island as a 978mb Low.

Brings 12 inches of rain in 24 hrs and 60mph wind gusts to CT.

Time stamp is on the bottom of each frame. 27th for Florida. 29th for us.

Interesting, we're definitely long overdue for a hurricane. hopefully it misses or the impact is low. So many near-misses last year.

I remember watching Earl just recurve out and miss us. That could have been bad.

Here's some interesting photos I came across of 1938 Hurricane. Ariel view of Hartford. 1938 Hurricane Photographs, Connecticut State Library



And
1985---Gloria ............ Such a track gathered the attention of many people, and led to the evacuation of 380,000 people along the coast from North Carolina to Connecticut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Gloria

Gloria was a quite different track...Irene here would have to have a perfect run to get anywhere close to CT except as an inland rain...sorry man , I say this is a NO WAY... Florida has to watch but this storm is gonna get PUMMELED by the Hispaniola mountains...

You have to backup your claims. What makes you think "No Way"? Give us a science approach to this claim. Just like if you said "it will" hit us...what makes you say this? otherwise its called "wishcasting" and thats a big No No in the weather world. Notice I just mention model projections. Thats all we can do at this point...

Yes you can always add your "thoughts" but when you say "this is a No way" you are trying to create a fact that hasnt happened.

So is that your thought or do you have backup for that "no way" senario?
