Last night, I was about to put out the trash for the trucks today, and it was close to 11 p.m. in Purcellville. The weather winds were gusting like crazy for a bit. Later, I saw a Marine warning posted for the tidal Potomac. It was pretty wild, as I measured a 40mph gust, but my station misses gust maximums, and I am pretty sure we had some close to 50.
Here was that wind surge looked like on my Weather Station. I waited until this morning to put out the trash .
