I'm sure some of you have probably trout fished the Deerfield and recognize this place:

WBZ News just interviewed a woman from National Grid, she reported that some people will be without power for up to a week ...  ... granted there are about 300,000 without power in MA, and she said 100,000 without power in RI and NH each |

Barrington still has no power and it could be a few days, a few people i know in Bristol and Barrington had their houses completely crushed by trees. So not that big a Joke.

Out here... Earl was much worse last year. No rain at all here. < 1/4" total. Wind to 45 and those were only gusts. Last year we had some real wind over 60 sustained.
I figured I spend $1000 and one full day to prepare for this non-event. I wonder if my insurance co will re-imburse me for my trouble. 
I will not listen to the weather experts again. I will make my own forecast. 5 days ago a cat 2 hurricane with winds 125mph was going to pass over BI and up thru RI/MA...today a 50 mph "storm" went well west of NYC and did little to nothing here. Grateful yes, overhyped...for sure. |

It was overhyped but it caused plenty of damage here. Just looked over the videos. I have one where I am walking from the tree with the split to the other, next video sucked because I was running from the area, next video shows the tree at about 40 degrees and shows it falling the rest of the way down. I can't figure how to post it yet.......

Well, it was a lucky break that the flood tide did not coincide with
the storms peak time. The poles would be gonzo.
Its still really cranking, and the surf is giant, so I am wondering what will happen with the next one.

 small craft ? yup, got it.

It will take me about an hour tomorrow to wash all the leaves and debris out of my boat, but 2nd the sentiment: we were lucky! |

I have an update for you. High tide in Buzzards Bay is in about a half hour, and at low tide this afternoon, the water was ABOVE the mean high water mark in almost every part of the Upper Cape along the bay. And the wind is still a sustained 40 SW with gusts well over 60. Trees are down all over Bourne and Falmouth, some roads impassible due to downed trees.
I have no tolerance for bomb throwers spouting politics right now. |

Nah, it wasn't you. I happened to be in Bourne and Falmouth today, and if someone is claiming that it never gusted to more than 45 on the Vineyard today, then I'm raising this:
Because it's STILL gusting more than 45 in freaking Buzzards Bay.
At 4:30 PM there were measured gusts to 66 at Hyannis airport. |

Yep. Water was supposedly going over the bridge of flowers. Unbelievable.
Further downstream they're worried about the Stillwater Bridge, which takes Interstate 91 over the Deerfield. 91 has been closed since around 3pm yesterday between exits 24 & 26. The normal detour of Rtes 5&10 was also closed, just reopened this AM. What a cluster that must've been.
And the covered bridge on Eunice Williams drive in Greenfield(the "pumping station" as it's commonly known) was knocked off it's supports but somehow didn't wash away. This bridge in Bartonsville VT wasn't so lucky: http://t.co/oCixrjk |
