'Noreaster Noel whipped past New England Saturday, bringing coastal flooding, heavy rains up to four inches, and numerous reports of downed trees and power lines. The top wind gust in the U.S. was 89 mph at Barnstable on Cape Cod. The highest sustained winds were measured on Nantucket Island--56 mph, gusting to 72. The highest wind gusts in Maine were 64 mph measured at Brooklin and Cutler. Acadia National Park had one of the highest rain fall totals, 4.2 inches, and up to three inches of snow was recorded in northwestern Maine. At the storm's peak, 43,000 people lost power in Massachusetts.
Huge waves up to 34 feet high were measured in Halifax Harbor in Nova Scotia, and waves up to 46 feet high were measured at the Georgian Bank buoy midway between Cape Cod and Nova Scotia. Top winds in Nova Scotia were 50 mph, gusting to 62 mph, measured at Brier Island between 4am and 6am this morning. The 'Noreaster is over the Gulf of St. Lawrence this morning, with a central pressure of 970 mb and sustained winds near 50 mph. The storm knocked out power to over 150,000 people in Nova Scotia.

Near-tropical depression hits Nicaragua and Honduras
A region of disturbed weather that was the southern portion of Hurricane Noel's rainy regime acquired a spin of its own, almost became a tropical depression, and has now moved inland near the Nicaragua/Honduras border. This disturbance (91L) is generating rains of up to three inches every six hours (Figure 1). Total rain rain amounts of 5-10 are possible in Nicaragua and Honduras along the path of 91L, which could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
I'll have an update Monday morning.

No big hits this year but ended the season at a 19 year low for sand. Caught in the gradent between highs up north & 'canes down south, with a handfull of invests/depressions come through.
The remnants of hurricane Noel passed just east of us this afternoon. Narragansett Bay experienced sustained winds over 40 mph with gusts over 60 mph. Most sailors got their boats to safe harbor, but some were not so fortunate. Five boats broke free of their moorings in Dutch Harbor. Four of them ended up on the rocks.

Winding down from work, catching up on maps etc. Feelin pretty darned good. How bout yourself? Did you survive "post-tropical" Noel unscathed?
Got a few sprinkles yesterday morning

So yes I think we got thru okay
Check your barometer. Sometimes if my sinus allergies are kicking just right I can tell to the second when a front moves through.

Has anyone heard from Bonedog since he went storm chasing Noel?
If he's who I think (how many wunderblogers could have been storm chasing in Nova Scotia...
Shen, my understanding is that Bonedog was going to Gloucester, MA, not Nova Scotia. So maybe that was someone else with the camera issue.
Photography is one of my favourite hobbies, though, and I miss the simplicity of all-manual cameras. I sure do like the digital kind now, all the same. I have a Nikon D70, which has manual override, so that's the best of both worlds.
and saw only one sailboat that broke
loose from its moorings
I took a shot of it and posted it with my other shots here
Only really started taking Pix in ernest about a year ago
Not sure what type of ship The Ghost Ship
was but was out fishing on a foggy misty day
and she just popped out of the fog and couldn't resist
Not even sure how I got that Brownish tint
to the shot, but looks funky!
