How do you get those high gusts? Are you on a ridge top? Open area? Even on the windiest days, I can barely get to 15 mph.

This squall is intense

Valley near the river downslope of the mountain and funneling city streets

As I was just getting on to say I was surprised at the lack of wind here so far, it arrived with a vengeance. lost power here in linglestown for several minutes. Back on for the moment, fingers crossed.

Holy crap, where did that come from? Crazy winds and blinding rains. Wind had to be close to 50. Picked up .16" of rain in 8 minutes. Temp fell from 68.1 at 8:45pm to 52.5 currently.

It sounds like the roof is going to come off.

They break easily too. I’m worried about some of my trees as well.

Just head an incredibly loud thud as winds are back to where they are mid squall

There were several trees that I could hear come down around forty minutes ago, and I saw several power flashes on a wild ride home from York Haven tonight with no shortage of road closures and trees down along the way. I've been hanging out down in my basement since I heard the first tree come down near my home. I'm not getting any of the wind protection tonight that i've talked about. This s***'s f****** b****.

It’s really bad, for sure. Different than a normal wind event.

[Yardstickgozinya]

I'm not sure if it was isolated or if anyone picked it up tonight, but right around five o'clock, the temperature spiked about eight degrees in a few minutes while I was in dillsburg and the wind just came out of nowhere without warning. From the very first gust, it meant business out that way.

A lot of times I feel like they're just hype.This one's pretty terrifying for me.

[Yardstickgozinya]

Yes, speaking of the f****** devil, my windows are rattling at a crazy high frequency that i've never heard before.
