I expect it could have been worse in New England, storm seemed to move further offshore. Weather Bouy on George’s Bank recorded very high wind and sea. 45 feet on the 5th.

I will say over 50 years experience on the waterfront including a weather forecasting correspondence course while in the CG I never heard of a “ Bomb Cyclone” Do they make these names up for TV ratings ?
