DCWeatherGuy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Highest winds in NW DC now. Hope it lasts more than 10 minutes. Yup. Just heard my first legit wind howl. A noise I haven't heard in person too many times in my life. Just saw a big transformer blow as well. Loud pop noise followed the flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiscaster Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How is DCA sustaining to 41 MPH and gusting to 58? That is higher than OC's winds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 i think we're into the general peak period now.. 58's a tough one to top.. could happen tho. Yeah the center is almost equal to our latitude, which is the same orientation relative to Richmond when they got crushed earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
