MN Transplant Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Big tree down around the corner. Missed houses, which is good. Sirens around, probably all tree related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Just had one hell of a gust roar through the woods. I'd estimate it was around 60 mph. Pretty wild out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Pretty the same obs out this way. Large tree down on our back road. Sirens in the distance a few minutes ago and no power.I wasn't home for the wind line but my wife said it was pretty intense.

GATECH Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Only LWX can verify a STW without a thunderstorm. Never had anything less than partly cloudy skies, but definitely low end verification severe thunderstorm damage. Large limbs down, power out for about 5 min. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Wow everyone is getting the action to our south and west. There's a weird noise though almost like the wind should be 50 sustained. Perhaps it's just above the trees. Seen that happen in thunderstorms before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Turning into a miserable evening, moderate rain, windy, at the low for the day (55.9 and falling fast, was 72 2 hours ago). On the plus side found a bottle of port that I missed from winter, might need to crack that open, maybe start a fire....Blue is temp. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The big gust that came through about 4:15 was impressive. Lost a large tree limb from a giant poplar in our back yard. Neighbors large pine across Lawyers Road from our driveway was uprooted with entire root ball in the air. The pine raked the power lines on our side of the road as it came down narrowly missing someone driving by on Lawyers. Was a 100+ foot pine about 36" across at the base (lots of potential energy released with the impact when it hit the road). Lawyers Rd was closed for about 2 hours as the neighbors helped me cut it up into chunks my Kubota could drag to the side to open the road again. Biggest problem was all the drivers who were determined to drive by despite the police having closed the road. Some even drove on the sidewalk along Lawyers Road as an attempt to get by.

BlizzardNole Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I've been complaining with some others on the gardening forum about huge maple trees in our yard with billions of spinners loaded in their arsenals. Well the wind has stripped them of the spinners in a day and even swept our deck clean. Free of charge. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure why it wasn't canceled altogether. Here we didn't even have advisory criteria winds. Spent today sharpening chains, can't work in "high wind warning". Cut some ash cookies with the 661, she's wicked sharp now! It's funny this area busts even on weather we really DON'T want. Oh well, sunny with 75F dewpoints here we come. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the wind has stripped them of the spinners in a day and even swept our deck clean. Free of charge.You know what … that’s really an interesting point. Those things can be a pain in the ass and every 10th spinner seems to get caught in the cracks between the wood planks in my deck, making them impervious to the power of my 85 mph electric leaf blower. So I break my back picking those dam things out of the deck cracks by hand because I’m OCD about it. So if this wind storm cleaned the canopies and I can take the summer off dealing with spinners I raise a glass to this wind! . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEPCO numbers look good - they've seemingly gotten a lot better in the last 10 years or so. Used to be 6 hour outages if a person farted. Pepco so much better than10 years ago. I was up at Rt29 and Randolph Rd and it was windy around 6pm but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
