It wouldn't be a windstorm without garbage blowing around

The last wind event we had I was driving up a hill and a big gust rolled over what looked like a 96 gallon bin at the end of a driveway.  It had to have been filled to the brim with those foam peanuts because they got picked up and for a second it looked like a mini blizzard, snow globe style!  A guy across the road was grabbing his bin and just shook his head.

We definitely heard a tree fall around 2055 or so.  It was roaring and I checked and can't see but I'm in no hurry to walk around 100' trees to look for it!  Widowmaker danger in full force tonight!

Was in the kitchen cooking dinner listening to the vicious winds outside when I felt a small vibration in the ground accompanied by a thud like something had fallen. I went into my back and sure enough part of the fence has fallen.

I lost a section of pool fence in 2008 due to wind.  Posts were rotted enough to snap off, bam!  About 40' of fence on the ground.

Yikes. Luckily for me it was only a 15-20 foot section of fence lost.

The strength of the wind gusts tonight probably tied March 2018 intensity-wise... legit.

White knuckle driving home from Columbia. Was on 70 crossing the Patapsco and was blown sideways into the lane next to me, thankfully no one was there. Phew. 

It was pretty interesting driving my Jeep up 270 from Olney a little while ago. Right into the wind. My balcony furniture hasn’t blown to the side yet, so not sure how to rate this event. The one a couple weeks was probably worse up here…at least so far.

I white knuckled it home from Bethesda around the same time, 10-ish. Very glad no one was there when you got blown sideways. Scary at times! Worst moment for me was having to suddenly dodge a mattress (?) mangled mattress/thing (?) on 95. Likewise, thankfully I had room. Getting through the stretches of elevated highway around Balt/Ft. McH tunnel also was no bueno. The way down 4-5 pm was pretty chill but did drive through narrow line with lightning in it.

Drove by te

 

Drove by the damage along Newton Road and 404 this afternoon on the way home from Bethany.  Quite a few homes severly damaged, and the interesting thing is that they are spaced so far apart. Saw a lot of roof damage as well.  Tons of trees down.  2 or 3 of the large farm pivot sprinklers were twisted and flipped as well.

I got an OBS for you. This ain’t spring! Balls cold!! But I don’t care. I’m 4 Czech beers deep at 1 pm. Fuck it. :lol:
 

ETA:  The winds are the killer. Obviously only 39–we can’t even snow here. That April sun angle though…

Down below freezing (31.5) this morning, I see lots of under 32's out there, hope people didn't get the 'spring bug' and plant a bunch of stuff. WAY down in the teens at Canaan this morning. 

Got down to 33 and I'm glad that's as low as it went...we might actually have a full (and non-freeze-burned) set of blossoms on our pink dogwood this season, for the first time in many years.
