This is a video of the wind storm that affected SE Michigan around 5 AM EST. My weather station recorded a 53 MPH wind gust. There were widespread 60 to 70 MPH gusts across the area. You can see tons of power flashes in the distance. It looks like lightning...but it's not. 230,000 people lost power during this event. We didn't thankfully.
Do you have a weather radio?¿

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?

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.
