More bark than bite here as the strong wind barely missed me to the north. I don't think the wind ever exceeded 40 mph. There was a lot of lightning, but no loud thunder. It never even rained especially hard and I only picked up a few tenths of an inch.

Edit: I see there were also reports of 60 mph on the south side, 70 mph on the east side, and 52 mph at the airport. It appears my garden really dodged a bullet as all the wind went around me. The power did go out for a while, so there was obviously strong wind nearby.

Edit #2: I just found some of my plants damaged(argh!!!) so the wind must have gone above 40 mph.

I wasn't as lucky, I lost power for about an hour and 25 minutes. The winds must have been at least 70 mph.

not bad, reflectivity wise at least, seems to be on a small uptick. Pretty dark here but hazy, so visuals not all that great.

Another excellent storm, serious window/building movement. Hard to say this high up, but most likely 60+ based on previous bows

I could tell also when I was on the phone at work with a customer in one of the suburbs. She said her condo started shaking and I could hear the wind booming along through the phone.

Nice avatar. Boy I'd love to be on the lake shore watching this complex come across the lake.

Talked to a person from St. Joe MI who did exactly that at Silver Beach on a past storm. Awesome experience for him. I am in the far eastern edge of the svr warning here at present as the bow barrels my way.
