H2O Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Based on radar, it appears I'm in the middle of the base of the rotating band. Winds are ripping. Was watching that too. Winds haven't stopped howling for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just took a stroll out and man...it's a scene. Got a few good gusts out there, lots of Fire trucks racing past and hardly anybody on 14th street. Very odd sight. Not even a hooker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Could be that the map doesn't include Pepco utils. If you look at the Pepco site's map, you'll see that their coverage area roughly follows the countours of the lower outage areas on this one. Just a thought. I'm not even talking about Montgomery and PG counties, even elsewhere I expected much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Took the dog for a ~30 min walk. First 10 mins the winds were about 15 sustained and 30-35 gusts. Last 15-20 minutes...sustained 30 and gusts near 60. It's really pounding out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 My guess is with this wind at my elevation, someone over 1200' in Frederick is gusting over 70mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 971.3mb and 4.29" so far on Lawyers Road just North of Vienna. Just lost a tree in the front yard. It was uprooted this time, not like the 2 we lost during the Derecho that were snapped off about 15 feet up. An eerie calm set in just after the gust that took the tree.

MDsnowPRO Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 cnn is the worst network ever. They have one idiot in AC standing in a badly flooded intersection in waist deep water while they are telling to people to stay inside. And then that moron Anderson Cooper is trying to conduct phone interviews from a street in NY where he is literally being pushed around by the wind. Seriously wish they would both be washed away.
