Straight line winds from 60 to 80 MPH with sunny skies.
Strange stuff.

No danger here. I've cut every tree that could be a threat to the house. I got a couple of monster pine trees out back that might come down if this keeps up but nothing is in the path of them.

It'll be a good day to take the truck and chainsaw and go in search of firewood. I'm quite sure there's trees down all over the place.

With all of the dead ash trees just asking to be blown down, carrying a chainsaw might be a good idea.

The same storm system came through here today with the same wind speeds. I looked out once to see how my new shed was holding up, and the wind was blowing water and spray up and over the roof peak.

Watch out for widow-makers if you’re scrounging firewood in a wind storm. We get a lot of winds here and up north and if I’m in the woods when the winds come I get the hell out of there….it’s a good time to go to the beach and watch the surf.

They're advising people in the area to avoid the interstates,..multiple tractor trailers overturned by the wind.
It's becoming a fairly significant event.

Been light to moderate rain all day w 25 to 30 avg wind, with some over 40mph. Snow now, lost power for a little bit, seen flashes outside. Proly konk out soon, be 4 or 5 hours without (seems the norm).
