[Orangeyes]

My wife works at the hospital. She called and said that a car was struck by a large chunk of metal last night. A nurse from the VA was in it at the time.

I wish it would have wiped out all the bleachers (or replaced them with chairs).

It came through Rochester around 8:45pm and knocked power out for a couple hours in Chili. Don't think the gusts got higher than about 55mph though. We had the candles out like a rock concert!

 

[Jeremy L.]

I'm shocked that my place didn't lose power, but driving home from the city around 11 p.m was awful

 

[stuckinbig11]

At 7:45 last night, it sounded like a freight train was coming in northeast of Brockport. I did not see any damage this morning, however.

I must have slept through this.

Chili...I used to travel the Rochester area for business,. How do you pronounce Chili?

Ch-eye lie? Chi lee? ?? Never could figure that out.

Chie-lie is the way I've always heard it pronounced.

cheye-leye

An even worse pronunciation of a city's name than Skaneateles. Although it's always entertaining to watch people not familiar with the area try and pronounce it. (Skaneateles that is)

Was I right? My brother used to live there and I think that is how it is pronounced.

Sounds like the way Antonio Banderas would pronounce it.

The local town that gets a lot of interpretations, usually national news people or new locals.

Pulaski...either Pulas-sky or Pulas-skee...central NY it's Pulas-sky. Michigan or someplace it's Pulas-skee.

Indeed, it is Chie-Lie. However, I often wonder when driving through Rochester, is Child St. pronounced Chilled St. ?

Close enough I think. I'm not from Rochester, and actually just learned of the pronunciation of it this past summer.

In Russia, it's pronounced Mos-COW. In Idaho, it's pronounced Mos-COE

And in New York it is pronounced CAR-mel. While in Califiornia, it is pronounced Car-MELL

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Wooster, OH is pronounced the same as Worcester, MA.

I live in Pulaski and we are the only ones to my knowledge that pronounce it "Sky"
Here is another one Cairo. Cairo Illinois says "Kay-RO" not "Caye-ro"
And yes, Chili NY is "Chaye-Lye"

The largest gust of wind I ever encountered in an open space, high atop the 16th hole at Camillus 50 yards down the fairway. It was recorded at 75 mph at the airport. My partner a 75 year old featherweight was stood up and pushed backwards.

 

[BlackKnight76]

I was outside last night and while it was windy, I didn't think it was that bad.

I was outside just after 11 & thought the same.

Yes, Ch-eye lie is the way to go. Quite some time ago I stopped correcting people that don't live around here. When talking to someone on the phone from California or wherever, they say "so you live in "chilly"? I just say "yes, I do"...
