I think the line did weaken some as far as the precip goes. But still very high winds, especially when it first hit. Enough to knock my power out.

Yeah, maybe plateaued right around Allegheny line, still 72mph gust nothing to sneeze at.

Tree down in the little wood strip in my backyard too.

Wind was very intense as that line first blew in - classic bow echo.  It was relatively brief, though.  Estimate we hit gusts around 60 MPH, but I didn't get a chance to measure.

Luckily we held power here, but it looks like it is out all around us.  A tree fell on a nearby pizza place.

Im afraid I won't have power until the weekend

Curious how much out-of-state help the power companies have employed for this.  Due to the wide scope of the damage, it wouldn't surprise me much if things were shut down the rest of the week.

Well luckily mine came on just now. Looks like some of the major outages are being taken care of. The one main street by my house was closed so it looks like that was the culprit
