  1. 4.09 rain crazy day. Kept power!! Flooded woods rivers run thru it.
  2. Pretty epic line winds easy 55 60. Tons of stuff crashing
  3. Damage fence, why we have 2 been there done this, old rotted tree by the back driveway.
  4. Weakening as it approaches thank God as there were 120 mph winds aloft
  5. It's literally named Mansfield Hallow Windham airport dam. You literally walk above looking at the runways.
  6. Well it’s actually wide open land with little obstruction. Always windy on our walks there
  7. Piece of siding 8 foot long blew off at my roof peak. Found out yesterday we lost at some time roof ridge shingles and have a roof leak. Tomorrow will be repair day
  8. Think East of NYC will be highest. Lost power for a bit. Lots of small branches down flying around. Schools closed due to road closures and dangerous bus stop conditions
  9. One of the most eye opening events to me weather wise was finally realizing how high wind speeds can get even just 100 feet off the ground. When I was working at the Mashantucket Musuem we had Davis pros at 30 feet 75 feet and finally at 336 feet atop an observation tower. During a screaming soueaster we read simultaneously 35 mph at 30 feet 52 mph at 75 feet and 104 mph at 330 feet. Shortly after we measured the 104 Blue hill gusted to 101. I believe this was 2002??
  10. My experience is 30 foot anemometer can't show true wind speeds that topple trees. Taller trees are more susceptible to a problem known as “windthrow” than their shorter counterparts. Windthrow refers to the act of strong winds fully uprooting trees. A tall trunk combined with full foliage turns your tree into a lever. Thus, when strong winds hit the upper part of the tree while exerting a considerable force on the lower trunk and roots, it can remove the entire root system off the ground, even if it is a large tree with healthy roots. Trees with Two Trunks Other trees most likely to fall in the wind are those with multiple trunks. A standard tree structure has one dominant trunk. If your tree has more than one dominant lead, it is more likely to suffer storm damage as the trunks offer blow away and towards each other.
