I see BDL got up to 48mph, but I didn't seem like it was much past 35mph here.
10/17/19 was far more impressive wind wise. My whole house shock.
Freakishly warm last night, up to 74F.
It poured here this morning. Heaviest rain I've seen in a while. Break in the rain now and kids are out trick a treating. Looks like a 2-3 hour break, perfect timing.
7/10/89 While I didn't experience the tornadoes first-hand, I did see the extreme damage done to Mohawk Mountain.
You could see it's path for many years afterward.
Years ago (October 1996) I was doing a trade show in Summerton SC. I drove up to Beech NC, the highest city East of the Mississippi. I also drove up Mt Mitchell, the highest point in the Eastern US. Beautiful foliage along the way.
I posted this picture of my front yard yesterday to show the pre 10/29/11 snowfall we had. Notice my Bradford Pear in the picture is still green.
I shook the snow of it to save it two days later. My Dad's was to large to save that way and it split down the middle. Since 2011 it's grown back from the stump.
Saddleback 4/14/07 A day before closing day and just before the start of the 4/14 - 17 Nor'easter. This remains the most snow I've ever seen in April. Previously I'd seen a few inches of snow here and there, but not feet. Saddleback closed on 4/15/07 with a 60" base.
