Somewhere between Greenland and here. Probably closer to Greenland.

Nothing is working in Bermuda.

Sustained winds of 45kts now in the western part of Bermuda. AWOS observations here.

And it's not oftern you a TAF like this (wind 75 gusting 95 knots!)

Sustained winds of 53kts, gusting 71kts, at Commissioner's Point now.

Interesting TAF for the Airport, showing the eye passing straight overhead between 00-04UTC, with the wind going from southeast 60 gusting 75kts, to variable 5 kts, to southwesterly 60 gusting 75 kts.

As long as phone and electricity lasts .... :eek:

bogman · 19-09-2010 9:26pm

Possible this is going to cause a rain dump later on during the week

thetonynator · 19-09-2010 9:31pm

Is it ex-Igor yet or still Igor???

Su Campu · 19-09-2010 11:19pm

It's still Igor, though it's becoming very ragged. The latest radar shows it almost completely knackered on its southern side, with the remains of the eye currently around 150kms southwest of the island, moving northwards. This is the worst case scenario, bringing the strongest of the winds to the island, but hopefully it will break up a bit more in the next few hours.

The westernmost station Commissioner's Point now has sustained winds of 63kts - one knot below hurricane force!

gbee · 20-09-2010 1:49pm

IGOR has passed Bermuda and I watched into the small hours as the storm got stronger and stronger, only one webcam remained working on Bermuda as some 80% of the island's power was cut.

Strong winds have lashed the island for 24 hours, it was 40 mile off the coast with winds of 75Miles and higher gusts. It did not strengthen as had been predicted and remained a Cat 1.

But from watching the lives feeds I can't imagine what a Cat 5 would be like, I was terrified, yet I could leave the PC and I got tired of the constant wind.

I echo some reports from storm chasers that about half way through a hurricane, one suddenly wants it to just end. It's 10.am in Bermuda as I write and they still have tropical storm-force winds, and as IGOR is lengthening this will last much of the day.

It's fine here now actually. Winds have eased a lot and power is being restored. There are downed power lines and trees, and flooding in parts, but no major damage and thankfully, no loss of life.

M.T. Cranium · 21-09-2010 6:13pm

Igor has made a brief landfall in southeast Newfoundland, the eye of the storm (still being billed as a cat-1 hurricane) came inland west of Cape Race around 16z and went over St John's about 1630z turning the wind there from a decreasing southerly (only light near the eye) to a strong northerly at the past hour. A little further west in Argentia the wind stayed strong northerly and all parts of southeast Newfoundland have seen heavy, flooding rains of 100-250 mms (4 to 10 inches) in the past 24 hours as Igor collided with a stationary frontal system. The central pressure is 949 mbs. Offshore buoys have seen gusts to near 100 mph and some oil platforms out to the east-south-east of St John's are about to experience cat-2 hurricane winds (they are up fairly high above the sea).

The storm is rapidly transitioning to extra-tropical but actually getting stronger in the process, and may generate some 100 mph wind gusts much like Debbie did in Ireland in 1961. These winds will be howling over the Avalon peninsula all day and also up around Bonavista as the storm tracks n.n.e.

Now it's heading for the south tip of Greenland.

Su Campu · 21-09-2010 10:12pm

The ship Terra Nova reported sustained winds of 67 knots to the east of New foundland this evening. The lads onboard must be feeling in a right state!

Meanwhile Sagona Island (alt. 35m) reported 55 knot winds.

gally74 · 24-09-2010 10:25am

Great surf hitting Ireland from Ivor, double overhead in Sligo / Donegal with off shore winds , true ground swell

M.T. Cranium · 24-09-2010 8:30pm

Just for future reference, the Terra Nova (as per SC's post) and two nearby "ship" reports are from standing oil platforms in the Hibernia Oil Field. One of these always reports higher winds in storms than the other two because it's higher up above sea level. I tend to take 10-15 knots off their readings when considering storm potential as they are almost 50m above sea level.

Igor went on to southern Greenland in its post-tropical state and gave wind gusts as high as 82 knots there on Wednesday. The remnant low is now close to the southeast tip of Baffin Island.
