Actually the neighborhoods of Kingsbrook and Robin Meadows have been out since early this morning. Businesses over on Crestwood Blvd. are out as well. The light at the intersection of Corporate and New Design is a 4 way stop. Wellington Trace and my neighborhood are holding their own with power.

The Dude Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 3 minutes ago, 87storms said: wind has ratcheted up again lately. driving around you can see branches around. not the worst stuff i've seen (i was near raleigh during fran), but still windier than usual and reminds me of a cold front in october. I was in Chapel Hill for Fran, and that was definitely the most impressive wind event I've experienced. That was even more violent than being in the eye of Hurricane Charley (1986). This is in the same neighborhood as Isabelle for 3rd place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL hopefully not too many 13 minutes ago, Navy96 said: I can confirm it's pretty blustery up our way, but, with the exception of a couple impressive gusts, it hasn't been too bad. Power has been a bit unsteady, but haven't lost it for more than a few seconds at a time. Generator doesn't even have time to kick on. Not much in the way of branches or debris that I can see. Trees on the hilltops are moving a ton. We are on the leeward side of a fairly significant hill (we're at about 800' elevation, the hill continues up to the north to about 900'), so take that into consideration for my observations. hi friend! I shared some of your pics earlier Glad to hear things aren't too bad at home. My weather station is still reporting, so thats good news in terms of power. I imagine the back roads will be debris filled later when I make my way back north. Gusty in Hunt Valley but doesn't seem too bad compared to places south. Thanks for checking in!

dukeblue219 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The wind has really dropped in the last hour here in Silver Spring. Still gusty by "normal" standards but the trees aren't bending over anymore. So far not a lot of power outages in our immediate neighborhood, but it looks like outages are much worse over towards Potomac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was even more violent than being in the eye of Hurricane Charley (1986). This is in the same neighborhood as Isabelle for 3rd place.I was in Raleigh for Fran. Had soaking rains before the strong winds came and trees were just everywhere. Most impressive wind event for me as well.

mattb65 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 My PWS has a max gust of 48 mph so far with gusts routinely in the high 20s to low 30s. It is somewhat sheltered by my house and trees so I wouldn't be surprised if the gusts would be higher if I mounted it on my roof. Very impressive wind event here. Fortunately power is still on and only minor tree limbs down for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 6 minutes ago, nw baltimore wx said: Unless it's a Ryan home. Close. Stanley Martin. They built premium homes with builder-grade 20 year 3 tab shingles. And they probably built that house and laid the shingles in the middle of winter so they didn't adhere right. I'd say 30% of the homes in the neighborhood suffered moderate wind damage today in my neighborhood from this event because of the workmanship and product. Architectural and dimensional shingles laugh at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
