H2O Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I had 3.12" when I last checked at 6pm. It's odd to hear the never ending roar the winds are making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some of the most powerful gusts of the day ongoing now. I can tell from the way the house shook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bob, I seriously believe that the summer storms removed a bunch of weak, dead, dying limbs, and that may really be helping us this go around. I know we have had some really strong winds over here for about the past 3 hours or so. KOKV has reported 40 sustained and 53 gusts, and I haven't seen hardly any branches come down on my property. After the summer storms, I spent 9 hours cleaning up the debris, and my neighbor and I piled up enough debris that it was the size of a small house, literally. It took on and off burning for nearly 4 days to get rid of it. I think it has made a difference. Of course, the night isn't over yet either. Plus most of the trees have less than half their leaves left on them. I personally think that's got more to do with it than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The winds are crazy. The strongest so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am going to just say it... meh. This is impressive but not that big of a deal around here. I think it was overhyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo2 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Finally, some wind. Gust to maybe upper 30's, but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The winds have been howling down here for hours and hours and we are up to 9" of rain...power flickered once...otherwise the only issues I have had is finding a place for dinner tonight.

CoastalWx Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The winds were dependent on convective rains as there was rather lousy lapse rates overhead. I think BUFKIT topped out winds close to 50kts on 06z runs. Still some time to go to top the winds from now through 05z or so. When you have close to 100kts only a few thousand feet up, it usually doesn't take much to mix down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviman2201 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I had a nice gust around 5 mins ago... maybe 40-45... and my power went all the way out for a second and came back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So much wind in the last five minutes. Strongest of storm for my neighborhood maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have to admit, I am bummed out hearing all these other reports in Frederick of strong wind. I want some. This is unreal. Crazy thing is that most reliable sites around FDK maxing out at 45 mph gusts. If so, then I want no parts of 60+. It is blowing like crazy down here. The rain on the back of the house sounds like bb's hitting. P.J. do you have power up the Pike? We can see the lightned sky to the North which suggests Downtown still has power. power just flickered twice! Rest of neighborhood is now dark.

wxmeddler Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Pressure bottoming out at 965.8mb at the house. WOW! Went up to a hill in York county (~900ft) and got a gust to 50 mph with the Kestrel. Amazing. Just enough to stand up in and lean forward a tiny bit and be pushed back.
