If we have power outages, it is kind of chilly, and I am looking after my 80 year old Dad. He could get sick with no heat. No, I am not concerned about this at all. I am scared out of my ever lovin' mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for sure There will be a lot of flying debris and branches will be falling in some of those big gusts. No sense taking unnecessary chances. This would be like placing your hand in a fire and hoping you wont get burned. Unless you've got a serious death wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my West are a lot of high tension transmission lines that bring supply in over the mountains. While most neighborhoods have buried lines if the power goes out to the substations all over you will loose power. Sandy was insane. We live in a 3 story TH and thought the roof was going to rip off. And I am hoping it will not be as bad as they are projecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Sandy took a large tree down in my front yard and tore a bunch of shingles off of my roof in one area. I still have a lot of cleanup to do from the ice storm a few weeks ago. Hoping there isn’t too much more damage tonight and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabel is the benchmark for wind imby . Lots of siding, shingles, trees , bushes down in the area . Sandy wasn't a big deal in my yard either. I wish I could find the picture of my yard I took the day after. There were some leaves and like a 2' branch on the ground but that was it. I didn't get any gusts over 50mph. I know that for sure but my house sits in a stream valley. I'm pretty sure tomorrow is going to be a better wind producer than Sandy. It's going to roar for sure. I haven't lost power since pepco went all Edward Scissorhands on the trees a few years ago. We'll see how that goes tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ran 200 incidents over 4 days which was about 150% of normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Anyone remember when hurricane Floyed came through the area? I was younger and crazier then. I Jebwalked during the height of the storm. That was one of a handful of times I got scared and had to run lol. Trees were uprooting, tops were breaking out of 90' trees as the low passed over my area. I'm older and wiser these days (kinda).

T. August Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Lost power for 4 days in Sandy. I doubt we top that tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore area gusted much higher i remember . Most was wind related. We had several calls for children trapped in their bedrooms when trees came down on the houses in the night. Chimney fires spiked as well because folks lost lower and needed heat, but the wind was blowing the smoke and embers back into the books of the shingles and gaps in the chimney walls.

WeathermanB Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I was confused on whether to post the wind NAM WRF on the March mid-long range disc or this so i decided to put on both. Impressive maximum wind gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed we don't lose power. I knew the lines were all under ground so I wondered how they would be effected. I went 5 weeks with no power after hurricane Ivan in Pensacola. It. Was. Aweful.

jacindc Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I've never been all that scared of wind events until the derecho hit the back of my house like a freight train. Didn't lose power, didn't have any damage, but that was a nervous 40 minutes or so, given the massive sycamore I have in my postage-stamp backyard. Isabel was tropically gusty IMBY, but not anything that sent me scrambling for cover.Hope this one isn't too damaging.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Did you live in your current location during the , and if so, what were the effects up that way? That derecho remains the "high bar" of wind events in my lifetime, including living here in southeastern Fairfax County for the past 30 years and spending the first 20 years growing up in northcentral PA. Never before nor ever since, in either VA or PA, have I seen mature, 50'-60' trees bend at 45 degrees (or greater!) in the wind at the front edge of that derecho... No, I was further south in Cockeysville. The worst of the derecho was to my south, areas of Towson were hit really hard. No idea what happened in Parkton during it.I can recall two squall lines that have come through here that have caused damage and knocked out power, so hopefully that won’t be the case.

I am a little south of Annapolis. We lost power for 5 days, and had two major trees down in the yard. That was a crazy week.

Eskimo Joe Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 For those of you worrying about power loss duration, PEPCO et al has called in out of state contractors so if we outages they shouldn't last terribly long. This wasn't like the derecho where everyone from Indiana to Virginia was requesting crews and equipment. The scope is smaller, but still plan on outages lasting a day or so.

I was young, but I remember that pretty vividly. Lost power for about a week, and we were forced to go to our grandparent's house about a 3 or 4 hour drive away since our dogs couldn't handle the heat.
