Mrs.J Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Getting very windy now up here. Something hit the back of our house but don't know what. A friend who lives in a neighborhood across the Pike from me just lost their front yard tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some gusts we're getting are really, really ripping. I don't know if it matters that we're at about 325' or not, but some of these gusts are crushing it. My holly is putting up a brave fight. I hope she can hold out. Said it before, models will correct north. it's going to be like Cape May dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 it's going to be like Cape May dude Don Cherry's jacket over his eyes too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Kudos to pepco for the tree work they did after the derecho. Not a flicker after some pretty strong gusts. EDIT: And also mother nature for dropping a few leaves before the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some snow down just west of Harrisonburg like I thought would happen. Gonna make my chase early tomorrow morning. Here's the traffic cams if anyone wants them. Check out the cam west of harrisonburg on Route 250 near 640 http://www.511virginia.org/ Closest snow I have found is on 55 west just at the WV border. Only 15 miles west of Winchester and only at 1500 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Kudos to pepco for the tree work they did after the derecho. Not a flicker after some pretty strong gusts. Guaranteed it's more to do with the fact that most trees have less than half their leaves on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My lights are starting to dance and the real dance isn't even here yet. If this was summer, tree tops would already be gone. We are so fortunate this isn't just a few weeks earlier. My 40-foot maples are all bare and that is helping a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wow the wind has just gone crazy over here in the last 20 min. Had a friend in the neighborhood across from mine lose their front yard tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmac Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Kudos to pepco for the tree work they did after the derecho. Not a flicker after some pretty strong gusts. its probs because the derecho broke every weak branch in the state instead of pepco trimming lolol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
