NortheastPAWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Don't know if it's a sign of anything but my box fan keeps shutting off on me. Wonder if we're starting to encounter power issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 First casaulty I have the same down at the end of my yard. Wind is very sporadic, not much and then a pretty intense gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am up at school currently in Ithaca, NY but my folks back in Linglestown are reporting an increasing frequency in the power flickering. And the neighbor's tree just fell in half. What do you estimate the winds to be? These here gotta be 55-60. Sustained has picked up greatly, power out to tons now (but not us yet ...).

EasternUSWX Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Rain continues hard but, the winds have been a let down so far. Just had a gust to 35mph though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteout Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Can confirm Easterns posts about the wind in Shippensburg....at times will look at and the trees are barely moving. Every now and then a nice gust does kick up and it's short lived. I'm alright with that though considering I just talked with my parents who live out along the North Mountain near the Newville/Doubling Gap area. They have alot of open fields along the mountain with nothing to really slow down the wind and my dad said his flag pole is bent and the flag shredded, the wind is lifting his chevy malibu 2 or 3 inches off the ground at times and there is a very very old maple there that is about to go down. They just tied it up with chain to a telephone pole to attempt to keep it from falling into the farm house. Scary stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festus Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 These here gotta be 55-60. Sustained has picked up greatly, power out to tons now (but not us yet ...). Agree on that number here in Manheim. Had a couple of real intense gusts within the past few minutes. Sucks it is dark now so if anything falls, will not see it until AM. Power has flickered several times but still on. Forgot to mention, Weather World had us in a wind lull later this evening as the center goes pretty much overhead. Other forecasts had it a bit south. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard92 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 27 just reported West Hanover gusting to 57 mph, btw. Thanks! I have been checking the PPL electric outage map and it looks like the Harrisburg area along I-81 has the highest concentration of outages in the central part of the state.

Wmsptwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I guess whether is bad over the mountain though, Elimsport getting hit pretty hard. Tom Clark said we are pretty much done here, and dropped top wind gusts down to 30mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We just got the strongest wind of the day, 45-50. Its been quite constant here (20-30 sustained), like it might not be blowing really hard right at the house at times but that roar in the distance has not went away for the last several hours. 45-50 has generally been where our gusts have been peaking but that one that came through and took the tree out was probably over 60. After that went thru neighbors were outside retarping the part of the roof that the roofers for whatever reason didn't finish Saturday. That's just here, I can assure theres a few spots around here more exposed that have to be just getting strafed by these winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 well, just before 7pm I'm having sustained winds of over 30mph with gusts to over 50mph. The roar is almost deafening outside as it whips through the bare tree forest that is just behind my backyard. Still hoping to keep power...we'll see. Also noted the latest NWS updates drop the most intense sustained winds around midnight even though the low doesnt reach us until tomorrow morning. Guess that's due to rapid storm weakening?? Just had the loudest roar of all come through.....suspect close to 60mph gust.....unbelievable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
