Yeah. Far eastern areas had fantastic wind events this spring. I also remember the southerly winds during the pre-dawn hours of, I believe, Monday, January 25, 2010. Some of those gusts were legit (nearing 50 mph here). And yeah... peak gust from Isaias here... 29 mph.
We'll get a good event at our respective locations again eventually... probably.
Will it be within the next year or within the next millennium? That's the question.
