KAOS Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 No power or cable here. Generator fired up. Wind is good but I think we may have overhyped it a bit. Just doesn't seem all that intense yet. This belongs in the banter or obs thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well, I've got a rain snow mix in my forecast, up to an inch. I'd be thrilled. Was heading to Lewisburg or something like that but my middle son is sick. He's better now, no fever since last night but his Mom has to work. Tempted to drive up to Wintergreen with him. Maybe in a while.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't seem all that intense yet. BGE is still do OK by me though my lights keep flickering. We'll find out whether the winds were overdone or not during the next 6 hours. If so, it will be interesting to see what kind of winds verify at 925 over our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riptide Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any reports from Cape May, that place looks to be getting obliterated right about now. The immediate coast was devastated with 4-6 ft of storm surge. I've never lost my power so that gives you an idea of how bad it was. Highest wind gust was around 70 mph.
