Were you in the marina yesterday afternoon (Sunday)? After our side was slammed with 63.4 knot winds & torrential rain during a 20 minute squall. I watched on XM Doppler weather as it crossed the sound & head your way. It was very localized & 3 or so miles inland got "a brief shower". At our marina, sails were ripped from masts, bimini tops launched & strataglass enclosures were ripped to shreads. Though I didn't see anything like a tornado, this was the first storm that I truly heard what seemed like a freight train screaming by.
It was very scary to listen to all the "mayday" calls on the vhf.
The weather guessers were right on the money (yeah right) & issued the first warning about five minutes after the worst was over.
