Storm Gertrude
Highest gust so far 67 mph, peak 10-minute average 44 mph (Gale Force 8). Expecting Storm Force 10 soon, gusting to around 80 mph. We won't get the worst of it here, though. Expecting power to go off at some point.
Stay safe, everyone!

Re: Storm Gertrude
Not as exposed as you but 66.9 kts at 04:30 and 52.6 kts 10 minute average at same time. No damage yet, surprisingly. Not even in top ten of gusts!

Re: Storm Gertrude
Impressive! You've been pipped by Lerwick (96 mph) - but I bet the Lerwick anemometer exposure is better than yours, so it may be that your gust was stronger!steve wrote:Just had a new all-time high gust - 94 mph.

Code: Select all
Just had a new all-time high gust - 94 mph.
makes my all-time high of 79.1 km/h look pretty feeble!
Trust you will remain safe and the house sound...

Re: Storm Gertrude
I bet! Luckily, our house is very well built (not saying yours isn't as it would have to be built strongly for those wind speeds) so when we had the 70 mph wind gust back on 14/02/2014, only the windows bent inwards!steve wrote:It was loud!

Re: Storm Gertrude
The highest gust I recorded here (Herston, South Ronaldsay) was a mere 63mph. That's quite a difference!steve wrote:Just had a new all-time high gust - 94 mph.

Re: Storm Gertrude
Well, you never know. As the cold air digs in behind Gertrude there might be some of the white stuff on Steve's garden tomorrow!

Re: Storm Gertrude
US-built houses would never make it out there! LOL.
I wonder if housing structures are under a special code to withstand the types of winds that you experience?
Any damage to your homestead and/or surrounding area? I recall last time you had a major storm, you mentioned a greenhouse nearby suffered damage.
