Thank you Max!  I’m worried about the trees in our town. The ground is so saturated.

 Although they expect the warning-level winds to end Monday evening, it will still be quite windy Monday night.  I expect the warning to be replaced with an advisory or watch when it ends for winds in the 15 -25 mph range with higher gusts until the early am Tuesday.


I smell a cancelled or delayed flight. Ick


The signs on the highway indicated that no empty tractor trailers are allowed on the NY/NJ bridges. I was confused for a bit, then realized that the concern was the tractor trailer blowing over.


Along with high winds, a light coating of recycling can be expected throughout town today accumulating in various bushes.

(I had to chase mine six houses down the block and rescue neighbor's runaway cans).

Anyone lose power?

 Not that I noticed.  However, when I woke up this morning, my landline phone was registering a power failure message.


The Warning has been downgraded to an Advisory, effective through 9:00 pm this evening:

Damn wind just blew a gutter off my house. :-(

A friend flew into EWR this morning around noon and reported multiple people vomiting from a very, very rough end of the flight/landing. That sounds worse.
