    Oh. I didn't realize you were downloading all their raw data and doing your own analysis. Based on the "expertise," you have on display, I didn't think you'd even know how to do that. Perhaps you just aren't communicating well. Perhaps you and my husband can compare notes. He has a very cool setup in Tableau that automatically downloads the fresh raw data from NOAA so he can create his own graphics. Which platform do you use for the analysis?

    You realize it's all public record, right? If you have at least a layman's understanding you can do basic weather forecasting yourself, case in point most storm chasers not being meteorologists by training.

    Uh.... by acknowledging my husband analyzes the raw data himself, one should be able to extrapolate that I know it's available to the public. Should I have added that he's part of "the public?" I thought it would be obvious.

    Which method do you use to analyze the raw data?

    Which database engine do you use? Visualization engine? Which data points do you think are most relevant? Which models do you give more/less credence to? What types of graphics do you generate from your personal analysis? I'm genuinely curious. Being a data nerd myself, I find what my husband can create is fascinating. Some of it has been incorporated into NOAA's stuff.

    I like to see what others are doing.

    5oo miles? lol Another 80 miles and it'd have dropped it's eye wall on WPB. About 30 miles by the time it got to my area.

    It is back to Cat-3 as many predicted, and looks like the Carolinas are going to hit at least partially.

    Excellent.... this could turn the attention of the New York documentary and reality film production community
    north east toward Nova Scotia and New Brunswick!

    This could well result in us Nova Scotians becoming Hollywood North-east!!!!?????

    Our diabolical, dastardly, despicable and devious plan continues forward much like the proverbial BORG!!!!!!!

    Proposed reality film series based on keeping M.P. Sean Fraser


    ......
    "If average ocean levels rose by eight to ten cms (3 or 4 inches) could high tide...

    ... rise by one meter in the Isthmus of Chignecto in Nova Scotia, Canada?
    This question is logical because the geography of Canada's Bay of Fundy produces the world's highest tides. In my part of Nova Scotia in Guysborough County there is very little funnelling of tidal waters......... so high tide is only about one to one point five meters above low tide.

    In the eastern area of the Bay of Fundy high tide levels are up by ten to fifteen meters."

    Not too insane! When I was young we lost a fully grown tree in front of our Brooklyn home during a hurricane. It tore up the sidewalk. The surprising thing is that all the trees in the area fell along side the streets and Avenues. None of them fell on houses. In another hurricane our summer home lost 2 blue spruces and two maple trees, yet the house was in the Ramapo Mountains and 35 miles away from NYC and the Atlantic.

    Then there was the 'Long Island Express' hurricane of 1938, which travelled at a speed ranging from 47 to 70 miles per hours. They didn't have the equipment to track storms at the time, and when it was spotted in Virginia, they assumed it would go out to the Atlantic. It didn't! Instead it reeked havoc on Long Island and Connecticut.

    At 3:30 PM on September 21, 1938, a 16-foot storm surge crashed onto the shore of Long Island. Waves ranging from 30 to 50 feet swept houses and families right out to sea. Other people grabbed onto telephone poles to try to hang on in 180+mph winds while millions of tons of seawater pounded the coast. The storm shook the earth hard enough that it registered on a seismograph thousands of miles away in Alaska.

    But he has shown he can draw one although admittedly a two year old probably could have done better.

    Brooklynd is well within Hurricane range. Sandy being a great example. But Nova Scotia is insanely north for a hurricane. Storms typically go extra tropical by the time they get north of NYC.

    And are we going to say anything about this still being a tropical storm in Greenland? No? Okay.
