We didnt get much here in Lusby.....Some dark clouds passed over, the wind kicked up some, and it rained for a minute or two. Skies went right back to clear and bright blue...although its still kind of windy.

Tree down with power lines at Rt. 4 and Brown Rd.

Police say all traffic lights from Chancellors Run to Great Mills Rd are out and they have no officers right now to cover calls, since they are directing traffic:jameo:.

:jameo::jameo: Keeps getting crazier:faint:. Lines down at DJ's One Stop:wench:

Hope the wind lets up soon

Decoded: at 2052 GMT (3:52 pm local) the wind was 210 degrees at 22 knots gusting to 37 knots. 10 statute miles visibility, skies have broken clouds at 6000 feet. Peak wind 210 degrees at 41 knots at time 3:26pm.

Calvert scanner is *hopping* with calls related to down power lines. If you see a down power line, STAY AWAY, it might be "hot" and yes, it *can* kill you.

The scanner is also squawking about down trees, too.

Looking at a 50 mile radius, the highest reported wind was 51 knots at Richmond at 2:57pm.

LOts of reports of winds peaking at 35 to 45 knots.

Oh, also lots of airliners reporting moderate to severe turbulance. Bad day to be flying, for sure. "severe" turbulance means the aircraft is momentarily out of control, and is not reported lightly, it's fairly rare actually. Moderate means *heavy* bumps, cabin service impossible, all personell including aircrew must be belted in. (and pax probably tossing cookies)

The scanner is really hopping. Those poor SMECO and road crews. They'll be out all night.

Dang, 51 knots? Almost 60 MPH or so. No wonder trees are falling. Hope it passes soon.

Seems like I spent way too much time flying around in nasty weather, but the P-3C is an "all weather" aircraft! Or so they say.:lmao:

I just watched a kid go about the lenght of a football field backwards on a big wheel being pushed by the wind. It looked like fun, but she was freaked out :jameo:

Already gathered some candles and flashlights, I know ours is going to go anytime now.:lmao:

We've got a generator. Don't use it often, but it sure comes in handy when we need it. I'm hoping the dead tree around the corner takes out the roof of the abandoned house. Perhaps THEN the guy will decide to sell it.
