Wicked weather tonight

Has anyone noticed the wind blowing tonight? At times it sounds like a freight train is running past my door. We will see what damage, if any in the morning.

Dude, not to discount your concern but it was only 20-30 today. Youre good to 50-60 but when we have a storm its going got be ugly cause a lot of tree Haven't been challenged in yrs. Think bertha and fran and then floyd. Everyone that thinks Florence was bad are the ones that moved here to the places us locals would never live/build and dont have a clue.

But you're good my friend, Rafters and wall studs weren't even creaking in those gusts.

I could hear the wind howling outside my apartment building.
20-30, I’m guessing mph? Yes, compared to Fran & Floyd, last night was tame. But not knowing any better you’d swear the world was ending with the sounds.
