Been in near Hurricane conditions since 530....simply amazing weather.....been outside a few times, it's almost hard to stand up against the wind......have held power this whole time(major kudos to Delmarva Power for that) Winds coming out of the west, estimating sustained 50ish, occasional gusts to 60-70..
