weatherwiz Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Seems like gusts may have been higher than just 54 mph no? Not sure what it takes to get small planes like that to flip and such, especially seeing some of the structural damage. I would have thought maybe 60-65 mph gusts?

Grothar Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 It was nice to awaken by a thunderstorm at 3:30 am It has been a couple of months since we had one at night. The wind gusts of 50 mph pretty much stripped the trees of leaves. Still waiting for the excitement to build on the board for late next weeks storm event. Even if it is a miss, it brings together the board members for the holidays on a good starting point. It almost feels as good as when the redskins lost this past weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Pictures from Trenton Airport courtesy of WPVI: http://abclocal.go.c...793967&photo=10 Second time in two years that Trenton Airport was hit square in the jaw by a severe thunderstorm. 0.52", a downed tree two long blocks over and 3-6" of red maple leaves everywhere.

JCT777 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The line of storms came through Spring Mount around 3 AM with downpours and some pretty good wind gusts. Not many leaves left on the trees...today's winds will probably take care of most of what's left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it takes to get small planes like that to flip and such, especially seeing some of the structural damage. I would have thought maybe 60-65 mph gusts? Well, just remember, wind can vary over very small distances, and if I recall correctly, the small plane parking area and hangers are a pretty good distance from the ASOS.

Unlike last time, I wasn't flying down US 101 toward San Francisco when I learned of today's event...getting a call on your cell about a big storm while driving 70 or so in California traffic is hazardous to your health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it takes to get small planes like that to flip and such, especially seeing some of the structural damage. I would have thought maybe 60-65 mph gusts? Small planes can take flight at 50-60MPH...so wind gusts of similar strength could certainly toss them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanweather Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 high hit 63.5° today, but I suspect that before the 3am storms. currently 55.5° We must have missed the storms here in Bucks. I only have 0.16" of rain for the day, and a max gust to 18 mph (although my anemometer has never measured gusts as high as they should be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanormalWx Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Lackluster winds during the day today. 2nd wind advisory this season that didn't meet criteria. Around 2:50am this morning, winds of 55mph and had small hail for about 30 secs when that line came through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Lightning Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 The wind was howling all day here-I woke up at 1am when the storms came on through...and then went back to bed around 3 and woke back up around 6. The wind was gusting up to about 35-40mph and made driving fun around here. Yet, no tree damage or wires down around here as the only issue was a lot of leaves scattered everywhere.

RutgersWx92 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Pretty impressive damage from this morning's storms in Trenton: Seven single-engine planes were damaged at Trenton Mercer Airport in Ewing Township, including two that flipped over. Three sections of roof blew off a hangar after a wind gust of 55 mph. http://www.nj.com/ne...small_airp.html Winds have been pretty gusty here today but nothing extraordinary. I haven't seen any tree damage, just a lot of leaves blowing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wederwarrior Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 That storm was pretty impressive last night, sounded like rain was trying to break my windows... Found my wood stack cover had blown off and bent in two (luckily wood still stacked) Ended up with 1.2" in the bucket Winds are still kickin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, lake effect snow squalls do make it to the Scanton area. This does not happen all the time though when lake effect is occurring, as the well aligned flow has to be strong enough (outside of synoptic scale forcing) to allow the squalls to reach well inland.

Good point, something I was thinking of but wasn't sure. Small planes can take flight at 50-60MPH...so wind gusts of similar strength could certainly toss them around. Thanks...interesting to know, thought it would take a little more but makes sense that can happen, especially if enough wind gets under the Plane to lift it upward.
