Is it me or do wind forecasts generally fall to low? My forecast started out with gusts to 25. I believe BWI maxed out w a gust of 38. Wind over performing seems to be quite common.
This is the same penndot that has ongoing construction on pretty much all major routes into state college each fall during PSU football season despite knowing that game day Saturdays result in the town being inundated with traffic and becomes the 3rd largest city in the state behind Philly and Pittsburgh. Penndot does what they want to.
The playbook is there for everyone’s knowledge re traffic. You should expect gridlock after totality. Better to be in a spot that will not require you to be on the road to view.
