Extratropicane Gideon

Extratropicane Gideon was one of the worst storms of the deadly 2017 Atlantic Extratropicane Season. The storm itself was very deadly indeed.

The storm covered the northeast in a wide swath of hurricane force sustained winds for many many hours. Islip, NY reported the highest wind gust at 126 mph. New York City clocked a wind gust at 109 mph,and Boston clocked a gust at 117 mph. Philadelphia and Atlantic City, NJ, although only on the outer bands of the storm, clicked an unusually high gust at 87 mph.

Gusts weren't the only problem. Heavy rains (and some snows on mountains) flooded the foothills of New York State. Flooding in that area was 100 times worse than river flooding from Hurricane Irene.
