The position of the jet stream...and angle of landfall...and SIZE will make this different than most nor-easters. There won't be snow except far inland...but the tides will be the real threat. PLUS a large area of high winds for a long duration. Normally, in a nor-easter, these winds are short lived and you don't have leaves on the trees to catch it...and thus take out power. Add flooding...
But...here is the real test...this will do MUCH more $ damage than most nor-easters if not all of them. So...pretty much unheard of. Never seen a setup like this...with a blocking hi to the NE driving the storm west. Also not seen a storm in the Atlantic with a wind field this large.

I always wanted to live on Nantucket. I guess they’re in for a wild ride. :(

My daughter lives 3 blocks from the ocean in southern RI not far from Narraganset. I tried to call her tonight but no answer. How do you think that part of the coast will fare?
