[STORMREPORTS] High Winds At CASI HQ / PA / HY

From: Jesse Ferrell (CASI) (j{at}weatherwatchers.org)

The last record placed online from my weather station was at 3:00am...
at that time the winds had been recorded at 41mph... at this point the
power went out. At 3:30 they reached 53mph, I think, from what I saw of
the weather stations records this morning, tying the record from 12/12.
The internet access was also affected by the storm and by general
economic problems at AT&T, and it has not yet returned today.

Out of the other two weather stations I had running, the windsock got
tangled around the anemometer of one, so it recorded nothing, and the
computer is out of service for the other one, so it also recorded
nothing.

Again, I had a hard night because of things banging around at the house,
and the wind was very loud, despite the lack of trees outside HQ.

Looking at sustained winds, we (in central PA) were'nt even near the max
last night.

Looking at the METARs for major PA & NY stations during the last 12
hours, the gusts of note are:
