Pretty wild. This might be the worst since March 2018?

Was that the 3 day one?  There were some insane numbers in that one. I think DCA gusted 40+ for over30 consecutive hours?

Yeah HWW have rarely verified in our area with the exception of what two years ago!? 

There have been a few.  It's very localized.  We've been in many severe thunderstorm warnings but neither wind or hail verify at our location.  But someone does.

March 02, 2018 was a rare event and it was quite widespread not only in coverage but duration. 

Aside from tropical, last time we had really widespread gusts 70+ would have been 12/28/1988!
