I am home a lot when these high wind events happen so today was a bit different for me being out of the house.... was not home here to confirm how windy it felt but it was late this AM that the highest gust was recorded. The road signs shaking/waving West of York was something I have only seen once in my life before. It was just like this gif.....quite the event today.
He had to show me what life without me would be like...such as the Mexican place in Hanover turning into an adult book store without my constant huevos rancheros purchases.
Everytime you hear a bell ring that Mena the NBM has a new map out.
I feel like I am reporting from Harrisburg when I say this but neighbor up from me who just had a new roof put on (though done by "friends) lost a row of about 10 shingles. But incredibly power is still on here.
It was just near the water that I felt it "severe" yesterday. Yea today is probably the worst wind event for me personally since moving back in 2018. My car felt like it was on snow at times on that flat stretch of 30 just outside York. Not so bad once I got to Cross Keys and West.
Frankling I am stunned there are not more reports of high wind damage but the power out makes sense. Maybe the reports are going to be coming in. In Roux it is not that bad right now. 25-30ish with near 40 something gusts. This AM was when it was bad here per the logs.
PS, the winds coming off the Susky in Columbia yesterday had to be near or above 50-55 as to gusts. People were having to walked slanted forward to get to the water. Once you go just 50-100 feet from the water, it lowered quite a bit.
I am not sure where to go those but thought someone on MA probably posted it. Someone at the Rutters in Emmitsburg had an anemometer and he said he was reading 53 sustained for at least 10 seconds.
Like I said on another post, the winds were worse West of York. No way to measure though. We do have a bit of a wind tunnel here in how the mountain his shaped, so we always have higher winds.
The 67 was on my neighbor's rig. Just got back to Rou. I feel the winds West of York on 30 surpassed this number. Would have guessed sustained 50-55 for long periods of time. There is a sign there listing distance to Abbottstown, New Oxford and Gettysburg and it was moving/waffling around like in the middle of a Hurricane despite still being bolted to the pole. Stop signs were moving like nothing I have ever seen around here before.
I was on Roosevelt but missed that one. Was on 462 through West York and once it merged with 30, it went to hell. Most the SUV has swerved and been pushed in a long time.
Lots of damage on 30 exiting York going West. Trees, power poles, down.....stop signs waffling in the wind like you would see in a hurricane. Highest gust at my house so far has been 67.
I am sure the steel fans wanted to watch their game this weekend instead of Monday (though it is a day off for some) so I apologize for promoting it to be moved....but it would have been irresponsible to play it today.
