This NWS office just upped their forecast; interesting to see if they verify, already some debate on weather boards.

If they're correct these are basically similar to the Isabel winds over MD that had hundreds of thousands without power for a week or more...there really wasn't much in the way of actual hurricane force winds over MD/VA from Isabel.

Should be much windier than the similar windstorm the day of the ferry accident/ALCS Game 6.

Of course, there will be similar winds in the entire Northeast.

Saw some neat pics of the Lake Erie blowout; the whole lake basically gets blown from West to East, huge mudflats in the western part of the lake, flooding in Buffalo.

I winds are pretty back here in the Philly area

[hankbrown]

Probably caused by terrorists.

[El Laton Caliente]

I'm in the Hammond / Gary area of North Indiana and the wind here had gusts to 60 mph at the Gary airport last night. The wind is still at 35 - 40 mph now.

Is there an Al Quaeda connection. First the storms in Cali last nite, and now this.../sarc

I left the house at 7:00 a.m. this morning to go to work and walked across the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan. The winds were picking up then and made it real hard to walk. I hate to see what its going to be like when I walk home.

[Sunshine Sister]

We had high wind yesterday in Kansas, but not hurricane type winds!

Was Al Gore giving a speech in NYC today?

[OXENinFLA]

Maybe all that HOT AIR being produced in the Senate will off set it.

[alisasny]

My husband just told me that the wind is setting off car alarms in NYC

[dead]

Should knock the annoying straggling leaves out of my trees, allowing me to rake them up once and for all.

It'll probably knock down a few dead branches too. I've got one right near where I park my car. I've been meaning to pull it down with a rope, but hopefully I won't have to after today. (I moved my car.)

Same here in Michigan, this morning winds 35-40, it was a brutal walk into work

Saw some neat pics of the Lake Erie blowout

Can you post them or link?

[thoughtomator]

Sigh... I searched and searched but I could not find the pic of Hillary pointing to a map of Hurricane Isabel, which was labeled "Bush's Fault"

[FeliciaCat]

The winds woke me up this morning. Very strong when I was walking to work.

[Mixer]

I live in Sussex County NJ and the winds all night were crazy. I thought the Siding was going to fly off of my house.

[rintense]

Shoulda been in my neck of the woods last night. Here in Michigan, we had gusts over 70mph. Thousands lost power, including me... hundreds of trees down... including a few in my woods. So brace yourself, NY... this will not be fun.

Of course, now we're getting lake effect snow.

[blam]

Buckle up in NY.

Gusty winds from north to south here on the gulf coast in Alabama, not to bad. The temperature is suppose to 'plunge' and tonight is forecast to be as low as 39, coldest day so far this winter, yesterday was in the mid-80's.

[Angelwood]

The wind seemed to be blowing harder and in a different direction than the winds of Hurricane Isabel this morning in Burke, VA and surrounding areas. On the way to the metro station, we saw three big trees down in one stretch of road. One was on power lines, one was broken near the front of a house with limbs partially in the street and the third was collapsed and covering a pickup truck.

HIGH WIND WARNING for New York City

Hillary's in town?

[jmc813]

I'm in Northern Jersey, and at about 5:30 or so this morning, there was a gust strong enough to knock a picture which was above a closed window in my bedroom off the wall. Startled the heck out of me.
