SKYWARN Newsletter #237

---

Hello to all....

SKYWARN Newsletter #237 is dedicated to the Major Nor'easter of

October 28th-29th, 2006. This major nor'easter resulted in

a moderate coastal flood event across South Coastal Massachusetts

and Rhode Island, wind gusts of around 70 MPH, and rainfall of 2-5"

across the region with two days of powerful winds out of 2 different

directions with winds out of the South on the Saturday of the event

and winds out of the Northwest on the Sunday of the event.

SKYWARN was activated on Saturday October 28th at 10 AM with the

activation lasting until 6 PM. Amateur Radio Operators Carl Aveni,

N1FY, and Jeff Lehmann-N1ZZN staffed the NWS Forecast Office. Numerous

reports of trees and wires down and rainfall reports in the 2-5" range

were reported on Saturday with power outages reported in several

locations. Trees and wires were blown down in pockets across parts

of the North Shore in Beverly, Boxford, Salem, and Rockport. Significant

urban flooding occurred in parts of Salem and Peabody along with

flooding along the expressway in the Exit 9 Adams

Street on the Quincy/Dorchester line. Grant Circle in Gloucester,

Mass. was closed due to the heavy rainfall causing urban flooding.

Reports were received from the 145.47-Danvers Repeater through

North Shore SKYWARN. A measured wind gust to 52 MPH was reported in

Stow, Massachusetts. KX1KTY-Gordon Gravelese assisted with net

control duties during the event.

Across Southeast Massachusetts, numerous reports of trees and wires

down were also received and along South Coastal Massachusetts,

numerous reports of coastal flooding were also received. Reports

were received off the 443.800 Repeater which was linked to the

New England Network along with the 145.49-Fairhaven Repeater as

well as the 146.955-Barnstable, 146.895-Walpole and

147.180-Bridgewater Repeaters. Trees and wires were blown down in

Barnstable, Taunton, Foxboro, Bridgewater, Provincetown, Acushnet and

Fairhaven. There were so many wires down in Acushnet,

the Acushnet EMA was activated to block off the roads that had

downed wires. Coastal flooding was moderate with French Street

closed due to moderate flooding in New Bedford. At the Padanaram

Harbor in South Dartmouth, the Padanaram bridge was closed due to

coastal flooding and boats were piled up on to the rocks and

beaches from the strong winds and wave action as many boat owners

did not pull their boats out of the water. Measured wind gusts were

reported of 57 MPH in Acushnet, 62 MPH in Barnstable and 66 MPH

in Provincetown with a 44 MPH wind gust reported in Dartmouth and a

41 MPH wind gust reported in New Bedford.

In Rhode Island, reports of wind damage and coastal flooding were

also received there. Trees and wires down were reported in West

Greenwich, Scituate, Coventry, Pawtucket, Barrington, and

Smithfield RI with power outages reported. Significant urban

flooding was also reported in Coventry, RI. Moderate coastal

flooding with street closures and water splashing significantly

over sea walls was reported in Narragansett, Portsmouth, Newport

and Bristol, RI. SKYWARN was informally monitoring on the

146.76-Scituate and 147.165-Exeter, RI Repeaters. A measured

wind gust of 62 MPH was reported in North Kingstown, RI with a 54

MPH wind gust reported in Tiverton, RI and a 46 MPH wind gust

reported in Smithfield, RI with several of the damage reports

forwarded by Ralph Nahigian-KE1GL, John Buco-N1EGS and Byron

Piette-K1YCQ. Significant urban flooding also took place in

parts of Rhode Island including in Coventry RI.

From the Southern New England Weather Conference, Jim Palmer-KB1KQW,

and Rob Macedo-KD1CY utilizing the Amateur Radio Station at the

Dexter-Southfield School, monitored the weather conditions during

the conference and assisted WX1BOX with reports from the various

repeaters and affected areas. It was a great way to show the weather

conference participants Amateur Radio at work and updates on the

storm were provided during breaks in the Weather Conference. Special

thanks to the Dexter-Southfield School Amateur Radio Club for the

use of the equipment during the Weather Conference.

SKYWARN was secured at 6 PM Saturday Evening as winds, while still

strong, subsided from High Wind Warning criteria until Sunday Morning

as winds overnight into Sunday Morning would shift to the Northwest.

At the height of day one of the storm nearly 14,000 people were

without power in Massachusetts. A second round of SKYWARN being

active would take place 9 AM-4 PM Sunday.

On Sunday, while skies had cleared and become sunny, winds were

very strong over the region causing additional wind damage across

the area. Numerous reports of wind damage and measured wind gusts

of 58 MPH and greater were received.

SKYWARN was activated at 9 AM with Rob-KD1CY and Dennis Dura-K2DCD,

NWS Philadelphia SKYWARN Coordinator and Assistant State RACES

Radio Officer for New Jersey, who was visiting the area and attended

the Southern New England Weather Conference present. Jim Palmer-KB1KQW

would join Rob and Dennis at the NWS office around 1 PM that

afternoon.
