Oh trees I got......Here is a 200+ year old 6 foot diameter Oak tree that took out my power for a good part of last week. The tree crews say they need to get one of those "west of the Mississippi" chain saws to start cutting this one up. This is a thick tree. Could make some beautiful cabinets out of it. Trees and power lines were down all over the place. Still lots of folks with their power out. Mostly large old oak , maple and walnut. All good hardwood. Time to start working on the winter woodpile

Status: offline 		Yup, a few black walnut trees are down. The biggest issue is when I go out for a run there are all those big round walnut fruits laying all over the place. Great way to roll an ankle. I have noticed the tree removal trucks know what the good stuff is and pile the rest next to the road. I’ve got mostly evergreens including a giant Norwegian spruce . Those seem to bend before they break so I didn’t lose any trees on my property. Really early in hurricane season though

Back 60 years ago I don't recall anything on the news about hurricanes going as far north as New York. That seemed to start about twenty years ago - or maybe that is just TV news shows getting more extensive airing?

I remember a big hurricane hitting New Jersey in 85. It might have fizzled, but the lead up was non stop doom and gloom.

Status: offline 		Our property is covered by black walnut trees. We had to take quite a few down when we put in the pool and poolhouse. A bunch is still in the woodpile. But we finally found a guy to mill a bunch of it. Great looking wood. We finished a bunch of the basement with it, built some. tables, etc. Kind of cool to tell people the wood they are looking at in the house came from the property.

Have never lost a black walnut to a storm. They tend not to carry a lot of foliage so do not catch the wind/rain/snow. Lose the random branch, but those just stacked by the firepit.

One downside to the black walnuts is nothing but grass will grow near them. Something in the walnuts leaches a toxin that pretty much kills everything else. And yes, walking or running over a walnut is likely to leave you at least in pain, if not something worse.

Status: offline 		How a hurricane mostly wiped out a New York city island in 1893:

quote:

Hog Island was the name of two islands near Long Island, New York until the 1890s. One is the present day Barnum Island, which includes the villages of Island Park and Harbor Isle in Nassau County. The other was a mile-long (1600 m) barrier island that existed to the south of Rockaway Beach in Queens before being mostly destroyed by the 1893 New York hurricane and completely lost to erosion and storm damage by 1902.
.
.
.
A winter storm in early 1893 severely damaged the island.[3][4] In late August 1893, several hurricanes were simultaneously active in the Atlantic Ocean. On August 22, 1893 strong waves covered Hog Island and reduced its size but left it generally intact, though accounts conflict on the level of damage.[3][5]

The following evening, overnight, a devastating hurricane made landfall in New York City, lasting from about 8:00 PM Wednesday to 8:00 AM on Thursday.[6] 30 foot (9m) waves were reported at Coney Island as far as 200 yards (180 m) inland, destroying the elevated railroad there, and the East River crested the sea wall in the Astoria district; waist-high water was reported in the streets of the City of Brooklyn.)[7]
.
.
.
The city of New York has averaged a major hurricane approximately every 70 to 80 years throughout its history. It was predicted in 2005 that if the city were to be directly hit by another hurricane of the intensity of the one in 1893, which destroyed Hog Island, the damage was likely to be enormous.[10] In 2012, the effects of Hurricane Sandy in New York were very destructive but was not a worst-case scenario, especially in terms of wind. A landfalling Category 3 or higher would prove to be far more destructive.

There was a big one that hit the Northeast in the 1930's that the states could not handle the recovery. There were houses floating out to sea. That is when the highly quick and efficient US Federal Government got involved . . .

No, we got 'em. Not too often, same now.

Earliest I can remember one was when I lived in Brooklyn, dad had to go out and help a neighbor in the middle of the storm. I was no more than 6 or 7. We move out to LI when I was 8.

Yeah, but Gloria broke up when it made landfall. Went to move some debris to a safer place during the eye, which passed right over us, and the second part of the storm just fizzled. Longest storm for power loss for me, 4.5 days.

Was stationed at Ft. Devens at the time. Don't think I saw my car for a week. They actually closed the base for four days.

Slammed RI pretty though.

Status: offline 		My Dad was still working construction at the time but he also plowed. He was clearing a parking lot and literally scooped up a VW bug and dropped it in a dump truck. He was driving a payloader, not a 'normal' plow. He had been at it for something like 36 hours so I give him a pass on the mistake.

Due to winds and drifting we had about 8 feet of snow in front of the entrance to the house. rather that trying to clear it all I dug a tunnel. Kinda cool in hindsight.

But it was the first time I aw AF cargo planes in my life. They flew in vitals to Logan for weeks and flew right over the house.

Status: offline 		Are there plans to put electrical and other wires underground in the States in older neighborhoods? That's one thing they've done well over time here. First it was "city gas," meaning LPG piped to your home, in the 90s, then they started ripping up city streets (which would be considered alleys in the U.S.) and putting electrical and internet cables underground. I think they are pretty far along in that project as you don't see too many concrete telephone poles around town any more.

In the last 15 years I've experienced three power outages for no more than thirty minutes each. One was about a month ago and I think it had something to do with some digging near my apartment complex. Based on lights I could see, it was very localized.

Cheers,
CB
