Hurricane Jose incoming

[joe0813]

Like the title says.... Looks like hurricane jose is on its way here. 90mph gusts from what I heard last on the news. hope everyone has a plan just incase the power goes out. I know down here in Halifax we lose power so we went out last night and bought a troy bilt 7000w generator

They are predicting 20 mph with gusts of 40 here. I've sailed in that BUT I just started the generator here and it fired up on the second pull. That means Warwick ri won't lose power...

just watched the weather.... looks like it lost some steam for here too

I have a generator but I really don't wanna use it

 

[joe0813]

just heard from a co-worker 80mph winds for the south shore?? think hes exaggerating a bit

Thought category 1 was like 40 mph

Minimum speed for a hurricane is 74mph. Below that is a tropical storm or depression.

Just went on weather channel and they're saying Nantucket will get hit with a tropical storm of 70 mph

Sustained winds determine the categories. But the gusts are inevitably higher.

this storm stinks.... boring storm . not that I want damage but a nice thunderstorm or rain storm is always a fun time here and there

Maybe Maria will be more exciting!
