| Goodness! STAY OUT OF NYC |
| 2008-03-09 |
My windows are being battered like there was a hurricane turned on.
A strong southwest to west flow overnight will continue in the wake of a cold front. Winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 45 mph will continue into the overnight before starting to subside toward daybreak.
Winds of this magnitude... combined with saturated soils from heavy rainfall... could topple whole trees. The winds may also bring down tree limbs and power lines... causing damage to parked vehicles and power outages. Loose outdoor items such as trash cans may also be blown around... and should be secured.
A Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be 31 to 39 mph or gusts will range between 46 and 57 mph. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
TW- this might be a good sign to send the TDs to the Carribian for Spring Break. Heck, I may join them there (as a jolly chaperone, mind you) But I have to monitor how Miss Lady Free Radical is doing. |
