THat was an amazing morning, it fuelt like a hurricane or a tornado going through. Very nice wind event.Just amazing from calm to such a high wind and it lasted for a while too.

I live in Southgate just northwest of Fort St and Eureka and the wind woke me up at 5am also.

I really thought the flash's were lightning flashes! I just crawled back in bed.

Yeah, alot of people thought it was a strong thunderstorm coming into the region...but it was just a cold front with a thin line of showers...or drizzle for that matter. All the flashes in the sky are power lines arcing.

That was quite a storm for all of michigan. You got the worst of the storm. Here in Traverse City we lost a lot of snow with the rain and fog and thunderstorms before turning to snow and wind early sunday morning. That sure was a mess anywhere you go in this state.

good. did your crossing signal fall, or did you take it down so it didn,t break, or is it still up?

[owensri2]

It was fine. I left it up as usual. It did have me worried...since it blew harder than I expected...and the gate was swaying pretty bad...but it held up great. I'm suprised we didn't loose power. An area of Trenton, MI has been out since 5 AM EST Sunday...and they are still out as of 11 PM EST Tuesday!

We just had something like this last night, in Long Island, New York where i live, except it was only about 20-30 wind speed.
