DCA has 27 straight hours of max gusts 60-65 sad.png

That's off.. it's overestimating winds even at this hour. Put about a 10-15% damper on those winds and you've got a reasonable estimate (note: those numbers are in kts)

At exactly 8pm I lost power here in Elkton,MD. Came back on within 2 minutes. There was a decent gust right before the power went out but I dont know what the wind speed was.

God help you if your loosing power at this stage.

wow.

that'll make for a very quiet day overhead for me. international flights can get noisy here

im sure they'll have a 24 hr groundstop at DCA too which will make it very quiet for me as well. i'm directly in the takeoff path... damn birds fly overhead at full throttle around 800-1000 feet all damn day.

Notice the frost on the stem? Nothing like ice cold pabst before the mother of all MA storms. Even my dog is jealous.

That's the beer I was weaned on in high school and early college. Now it's one of my least favorites. I do like the glass. Personally, I usually opt for wine.

I think that's part of the allure for me. Some fond memories come to mind every time I have an ice cold pabst.
