Opps, that decimal point is in the wrong place. hehe
BTW, Baltimore must stay intact. I enjoy seeing their football team lose to the Steelers.
Can you just stop being such a dick about your misinformation?

You got me. I hacked every single one of the hundreds of Weather Underground anemometers and got every single one of them to report below hurricane wind speeds for the entire day.
You folks are completely nuts.
Right. 2 things:
1) As of right now, 2:41am ET, the storm center is still 115 miles SE of Baltimore. I don’t think we’ll be expecting hurricane-force winds anywhere near Baltimore this trip. NOAA doesn’t think so either, since they recently reported that the bulk of the hurricane-force winds are out to sea on the east side of the hurricane, where you typically see the strongest winds in a northward-traveling Atlantic hurricane. Or maybe they’re using atmospheric physics as a cover for their conspiracy….
2) 8 mph may have been the reported wind speed at the time. Weather Underground’s data shows wind speeds there hovering in the mid-to-upper 20s for most of the past 16 hours. Way to pick a convenient moment with the 8 mph screen shot.

But I know nothing anyone can say will convince you of anything but their own insanity and/or your own victimhood, so I’ll call it a night. Have fun with posting and sparring.
You, Sir, are a hysterical idiot. A head-in-the-sand Moron looking for tiny fragments of data to support a lie, which if you had active brain cells, should compel you would realize is ludicrus. (Do you understand that word?)
Ummm, John B., do you know what you are doing? Why did you link to a Max Wind Gust table? And beyond that, the highest gust on the table was 73. Two readings were tied at a low of 36. What are you trying to accomplish? Or maybe you linked to that as a joke.
But if you didn’t do it as a joke then you don’t know what you are doing.
@ John B even your data shows that this isn’t even a hurricane. Why is it still being called a hurricane?
John’s data is not from an area the hurricane has even hit, so why would you take that data and construe it to mean a storm hundreds of miles away is not a hurricane?
@rpo – are you blind? Virginia is listed.

@ rpo
Maryland is listed too. What hurricane are you looking at?
What is being recorded in locations where the storm has passed is just a normal storm in these parts! At some locations what they reported would not even qualify as a storm just a bit of rain!
Here is a loop.
http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/northeast_loop.php
These poor reporters. The wind isn’t blowing much, their hats are staying on just fine, and there just isn’t any disaster to report on so they’re showing fallen trees and walking through 6 inch puddles to fill air time.
The ABC weather guy is calling it a TS too with winds at 39 MPH.
OK, Would someone please explain why the ground stations report one thing (weather underground and windalert.com) while NOAA keeps reporting another?
Right now at 5:30 am eastern time, I see wind alert with a top speed of 49 mph and NOAA says 75 mph sustained max speed. WHY is there so much difference?
That is the question.
Central Park, 6 am
14 MPH winds
Perfect weather for looters.
Some people on another thread were talking about the ground stations being too low (hell, they are at ground level, right?) to “count” in measuring wind speed. The official definition requires the measurement be taken at 33 feet off the ground. Do they really fly jet planes that low in a storm? How can you measure wind speed if the jet is flying fast? Does the speed of the jet not make a difference?
This storm has made it all confusing. I used to just believe whatever NOAA said.
Joseph, I have a job that requires me to be up to date on weather, and let me tell you, the NOAA doesn’t know what will be happening in 4 hours.
They extrapolate the information using their secret recipe with a touch of secret sauce!
They seem to be making wild A$$ guesses! Maybe even pulling numbers out of a hat! Or osme other anatomical location!
I hope you are just joking because if you are serious that calls into question all historical data.
I was hit by Hurricane Dona and by Hurricane Charlie among others; and I had no way to measure the wind speeds myself so I just believed the NOAA bulletins. Were they right or just making stuff up?
I am not Joking! Yes it does call into question all the historic data from NOAA!
The severity of a storm is determined by the damage it leaves behind and not the hype leading up to the event.
The storm, as it passed Virginia and DC was indeed a low Cat 1 hurricane. Prior, it reached a strength of Category 2. This was indeed a hurricane and the claims made here, boosted by the hysterical ravings of Matt Drudge, are either indicative of some kind of perverse denialism or a great example of Poe’s Law in action. Either way, kudos for portraying the denialists as utter lunatics.
