I think we can all agree that the hype and gloom/doom everywhere is a problem. Find some common ground on an issue/debate, and work from there. If we do not quantify a problem/issue properly, then how are we supposed to handle/address it properly? Resources and $$ are finite/limited, and we know wasteful spending/graft are rife. You are not going to do this properly if you are fired-up and we are fighting among ourselves! Emotional, knee-jerk reactions to problems/issues almost always end up counterproductive. Perhaps not at first, but the long-term, and the long-term is what counts. But it is a challenge for all of us to think more iong-term and in the abstract b/c we want solutions and things fixed now! Shortcoming and fallacies of human nature always are there causing their own problems. But realizing/understanding this as a base, make discussions/debates better IMHO.

Never have I had wind rock my ford around. I wish we could post videos here. I was actually getting pretty nervous while sitting at the mechanicsburg middle school. I'm going to sleep on it, but today's storme most likely makes it into my top five, and certainly the best I think i've experienced since 2011. -
This will be tough with the iterations of drone regulations happening the past few years. Especially in the DC/Baltimore region (and even extending to Southern Maryland, and down to Virginia Beach. Some of the most heavily regulated air space in the world exists here - and the concentration of major military installations contributes of course. Between JB Andrews, the SFRA around DC, Pax River down in Southern Maryland, and one of our biggest naval areas down in Norfolk - any mass drone event probably would be a tough sell.

BID’s wind sensor looks like it got taken out. I wonder how strong they gusted

There are power poles west of BNL down, per mPing.

Power company sent out a notification to everybody in our area that power may not be restored until 6pm Tuesday for some customers. -

Damn fellas! We got dumped on out here in western PA too but nothing like the severe back at home. Im hearing from friends in Cumberland County that are absolutely ravaged! That area seems to have been hit particularly hard. -
I think OKX radar went out
-
Storms with nice outflow boundary heading towards the nyc area from central Jersey

Harrisburg with an official wind gust of 63. I think my 68 actually is a bit less than it was just to my S. -
The strongest gusts likely were just east of FOK which peaked at 56, the 87 from Baiting Hollow indicates that somewhat

The only thing tree wise this compares to around here is Isabel and Sandy. The one guy a couple streets over with it Davis weather station that's placed pretty well recorded almost a 75 mile per hour wind gust before the power went out Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk -
Fireworks have resumed lol.

Apparently so - our daughter's family lives 1.2 miles south of us and has nearly 1" with a lot of tree damage. Marietta was crushed and I'm 2 miles from there. -
Man this is a good storm here. Vivid lightning and thunder, strong winds and whiteout type downpours. Haven't seen anything like this in quite some time. Still a crazy light show now.
-
Baiting Hollow - 87 mph wind gust.
-
Not sure how popular this will be, but as I’m watching the O’s game while listening to WW3 outside, I think I’m ready for drone displays in place of fireworks.

Out in Shoreham right now, got absolutely smoked with strong winds and torrential rain

And it was another nothingburger here. Rain has already tapered off, wind and lightning nearly non-existent. Same as it ever was... -
Yes, I've notice that as well. The higher the DPs, the more error occurs. I looked at the the JFK obs string at that time for the 84 DP. Nothing stood out for any change for wind speed/dir or change in pres. No storms in the vicinity. Now if this was Hatteras and S, I can see DP spike up like this since the SSTs are so high, but not here.
