KAOS Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Lost a good size branch off of one of my maple trees. Almost took out two sheds. I think there may be some damage. Lights have blinked. I drove up the road a bit and water is starting to build up on the streets. Lot's of small branches/twigs laying about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catoctin wx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Winds picked up and gusting to 35 mph on my PWS. 2.3" so far in the rain gauge. I think the winds are cutting down on the rain rates I'm seeing though since it is basically blowing horizontally at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think there's a "No Wind" dome over my wind gauge... It is really hard for PWSs to get wind right. Remember, ASOS anemometers are at 10m (33ft) and wide open. I have mine on my roof and it has gusted to 33 mph through the trees despite obvious 50+ gusts. Sitting at 470ft with 100'+ trees is a little scary. Just out with the dog and made sure to stay on the more open side of the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I concur. Seeing some of the strongest gusts of the day. Watching the yellows approach from the NE. I give us 10-20 minutes before it's time to duck and cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
