The crazy wind today!

Natureluvr — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 13:54:42 GMT

I’m in Northern Delaware, and when I walked outside this morning, I honestly felt like the wind was going to blow me over! 44 mph gusts!

@Natureluvr Here in NJ, right on the coastline, the wind here is also crazy strong and upwards of 50mph. We have several VERY HIGH bridges and it's a little unnerving crossing over them in such high winds.

Here in the PNW the winds overnight on Saturday were really bad. Lots of little branches down. Lost power for a bit too. Such a mess!

@Natureluvr It's been very windy in Ky too. The weather has been all over the place. Daytime highs in the upper 60s & 70s with nighttime lows n the low 30s.

I'm in SE MD about 12 miles from the beach. Glad today is a WFH day. The wind last night was unreal...whole house creaking.

Today, it's just as bad. About 45 mph out of the north and 44 degrees with feel like temperature of 35.

Hazy, hot, thick and humid can't get here fast enough for me. I hope it's another hot summer like last year 🥵☀️

In New Jersey, gusts are 50+ all day. I went to put mail in the box and was blown all around!

Winds are gusting in RI too. Much of the northeast is getting hammered with very strong gusts. Woke up all night long hearing it. 37 degrees right now and holding.

@Natureluvr I live on a hill in N.VA and boy was it howling yesterday, through the night and today. I woke up at 1am and couldn't fall back asleep until 3. The whole house was shaking. My little dog (Min Pin) did not like the wind. Her little ear flaps were blowing all over lol. One plus was it helped to dry out the mud in the yard from the rain on Saturday.

@cheriere Are you close to Paducah? I got to visit there a couple summers ago. We did a river cruise from Memphis to Nashville. What a darling little town. I bought a beautiful necklace and earring set from a local jeweler there who makes her own. I have her business card someplace but the name escapes me right now

I'm in Colorado and just a couple of years ago we had a 'wind event' happen here. There were 50 to 60mph constant winds, which is not unusual, with gusts of 80 to 105mph right here in my neighborhood. My 6-foot wooden privacy fence got blown over but I was lucky nothing else happened. That wind was clocked at over 100mph that came through here that day. TG it spared my large trees but many neighbors lost theirs when the wind just uprooted them.

@LindaSal No, but Paducah is a lovely town. I'm in a small town in the southeastern part of the state called Corbin. It's about an hour south of Lexington.

Youre cruise sounds like a lot of fun. Most all of my drs and some family are in Nashville, so I get to travel there often. I feel like it's my second home.

If you're ever in Ky again, there's a lovely small town just north of me called Berea. It's a wonderful place filled with a thriving art community. There are several local jewelry makers and crafters who do incredible work.😊💝

Been pretty windy around my area--western WA--in fact for the last 3 days or so--blew the cover of my Ninja grill across the parking lot!! And --dang it--is blowing away the lovely pink magnolia flower buds before they even open all the way!!

It's very windy here in east central Pa., too. Of course, it's garage pickup day.

LindaSal — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 16:43:13 GMT

@catter70 Your post made me laugh! That almost always happens here on trash day, we started calling it Windy Wednesday in the neighborhood, LOL! Hoping it calms down here before then. I dislike chasing buckets down the road and across the street.

The wind here has been dangerously strong for the past two days.

A young man was killed when a tree was blown on to his house nearby.

It's even difficult to drive. The car is blowing all over the roads.

Be safe everyone.

@ciao_bella .. I am also in NJ. The winds are 20-30 mph wind wind gusts of over 40 mph. So it is a bit worse where you are.
