Do you have a weather radio?¿

[owensri2]

Yep...a Radio Shack 12-250 model. It's my favorite one they ever made. It went off for a High Wind Warning at 2:55 AM EST Sunday...so I was waken up and got my camera ready for it.

Can your railroad crossing signals handle that wind speed?

[owensri2]

Yep, they were just fine. I was a bit worried about the gate...as the 60 mph winds hit it...but it was fine. Swaying alot...but fine. I was just wating for the power to go out...because of all the flashes in the distance...but it didn't. Good ol' Wyandotte Municipal Services had the situation under control I guess compared to Detroit Edison.
