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.
The biggest change in the GFS over the last couple days was the cold....MDT might not even get below 15 (or even below 20) based on the GFS this AM. Much of it due to the MLK storm drifting off into the Atlantic or simply falling apart vs. intensifying up into NE Canada. Some semblance of the 50/50 does eventually set in but much later in the period.
I was not going to look but you enticed me. Nothing to tug our low back to us. All the energy seems down in the gulf now. Still way too early to pun the 17th, IMO.
LNS made it to 56 last night. MDT 49.
Yep. It is like we are Vegas. One of these models runs is going to shoot out coin. They cannot all keep dampening regardless of what the eventual result will be.
