Northern Ohio Obs/Discussion Part 2

Here in Summit County, it did not seem as bad as nearly all the surrounding areas. I actually did not lose power, surprisingly. Anyone know what the record highest winds are in the Cleveland area? I know they hit 85 mph gust at Burke Lakefront, I wonder what the highest ever recorded was.

I don't know the answer to this, but I have to think the 1/26/78 Superbomb has to be at or near the top of the list.  I know Hopkins hit 82 mph and I think there were some 100 mph reports closer to the lakeshore.

Just heard at the office that it could have been a meteor.

BTW, you should be getting hammered now under that stationary snow band.

I didn't notice anything here in Solon.

Wow. That was probably the loudest explosion I've heard. The band is just north of here... sitting  between 87 and 322.

I was driving to work at the time.  Must've had the radio up too loud...

Sounds like it was a confirmed meteor. Wild week of weather.
