Needless to say, Jen seemed rather embarrassed after it.
Oh my, that sounds bad. We have a lake wind Advisory here in Berkeley County, SC. I hope with the low temps and winds that we don't have any trees to fall and cause outages in the next day or so. Good luck to you all in the Atlanta area.Tonight is gonna be a long night. The power went out not once, not twice, but three times so far roday, the last two within the past hour. The winds are frightening to say the least.
Check out the severe weather alert here, I've never seen one pertaining to power outages.
Also check out the wind gust being reported, 43 mph! That's pretty darn impressive for a cold front. Those winds kinda brought a chill to me. I really think the NWS office here needs to issue some High Wind Warnings for part of N. GA If were clocking 40+ mph winds down here I know the mountain areas are clocking no less than 50 mph which should be enough to warrant one or at least bend the rules some to allow for one.
These same conditions happened here on New Year's Eve when the cold front moved through north Texas. The same "power outage" message appeared on weather.com, and there were some gusts at DFW airport reported at over 50 mph!
I, however, do not recall any high wind warnings being issued, so I'm not sure what the criteria is for that.
Yeah, the highest wind gust I've seen observed at Hartsfield Int'l was 52 mph and 49mph here in the downtown area. It went back down into the mid 30s as far as wind gusts and then within the past 30 minutes it's gone back up into the 43-51mph range. We've also had snow flurries tonight and my 4th power outage after I made that post (sighs) Luckily we haven't had another one since...
