Spokane had a big nasty windstorm in June of 2005, with a record sustained wind speed of 77 miles per hour. That knocked out power for a lot of residents at the time, including me and my folks, which lasted for about 6 or 7 hours.
According to the history data at KGEG, it was only a gust of 77mph, the sustained wind was only 62.1mph.  :unsure:
Oh, I must have mixed up the gust with the sustained wind. I knew 77 MPH was one or the other. Thanks for the correction.

I'm trying to find a tripod to go along with a camcorder I'm thinking about purchasing real soon, and I want to know: do all camcorders/cameras fit on any tripod?  :unsure:  I just wanted to make sure before I make any decisions.


So long as they use a standard mount, which the overwhelming majority will, then yes, it will fit.


Okay thanks for the info, Eric  :)

I'm trying to get a new camcorder along with some equipment. This is what I'll be purchasing real soon from Amazon:


IMO the handycam is an excellent camera  :yes:  I previously borrowed one from an old friend of mine back in Spokane to record a rock concert there last May. The digital zoom and picture quality are excellent, and the sound is good, despite it being so loud at the concert.

As of this morning I have not seen a 2-minute LF flavor (it might be a mix-up due to coverage of TS Isaac) unless I missed something. Did anyone see a 2-minute flavor this morning?  :unsure:
The LFs are shortened due to Isaac, something that's been done since 2005 :yes:
Ahh, I see now. I was well unaware that shortened LFs during coverage of hurricanes/tropical storms are normal. Thanks for the info Zach  :)
