Getting Ready for the Hurricane Gusts!!!

Gimme a heads up n ill look for it. Are you near Herkimer?

 

About 45 minutes east of there.

 

Been in WNY all my young, spry life (53 yrs)..........and I have never experienced winds like these..In a word....BARBARIC!!!! PEAK GUST SO FAR...74MPH...WITH AT LEAST 12 MORE HOURS TO GO..

 

There was a lineman crew staying in Conneaut, OH (I-90 & St Rt 7) last night. They were heading your way this morning. Hopefully, if you loose power it will be for a short time.

 

Go to the top of the new half round dorms at Quinnipiac. Look west. I swear you can see the Rockies from place LOL
You’ll see the wind coming

 

Still have power here in SWNY


Trees have snow plastered on the western side.
Well, pretty much everything on the western side.

Stay safe everyone

 

You are obviously a bit north of us
Hope things stay good for ya

 

Before we bought our home....my last landlord was a head lineman for our electric comp. He said wind gust have to drop below 40 mph before any attempt will be made to repair lines.....this is prety much nation wide....

 

I hear ya. This is brutal.

 

Correct.

 

Been howling all day. Really started to pick up around 6pm. Not sure what peak gusts have been in my area, I’d guess high 60’s. Haven’t lost power yet, hopefully we don’t. Big oak down around the corner from me. I’m sure there’s a ton more trees down in the area this is just one my buddy sent me. Pretty sure I’ll be able to stock up over the next week!
Stay safe inside everyone.

 

So far it has been windy for me. The pile that has rubber roofing on it to the ground got blown off and another pile a small section at the top has taken a dive to the ground.

 

Havent gone by there in a while. I actually have to look at a job not far from there tomorrow. Ill check them out.

 

good friend of mine works for electric co in the next town over. He tells me the same

 

Power has been out here at the hacienda since about 2:30. We were gone till 5 and came home to no power. Got the genny cranking, cannot run the whole house at one time but easily keep the fridges and freezer, boiler pump and woodstove blower going along with a few lights and can kick the water well pump on as needed. Winds are brutal, constant 35 right now with 55 gusts. Earlier was 65.

 

Hope you get main power back soon Locust Post


At least you're prepared.

 

Same also . Doesn't sound like fun.

 

First Energy is getting clobbered today. Still, we haven't had so much as a flicker.

 

BeechNut I hope you aren't without main power for a long time either.


Gas may be "cheaper" these days, but still not "cheap"

 

Not a superstitious person by nature, but I'd knock on the next chunk of wood before putting it in the stove.
