It's gonna crank again tonight. Pretty obvious. As long as we dodge some storms, the wind Gods really want to let it rip.

I'll bring the "trained" circus dog just to add to the mayhem!

I won't be there, going somewhere else. Have a good time.
It looks like the storms will pass through and not get pinned on the coast. :)

Hopefully no one got drilled. It just gusted to 35 at the skyway. The sensor isn't off, it gusted to more than that in my front yard.

umm.. skyway just spiked to over 35...

hope all are safe

Skyway Scott 09-07-2007 04:28 PM

Yeah,

I was checking out my 11m Instinct in the yard (knew I was gonna need it) when it REALLY blew for about 5 minutes. The outflow boundary is pretty impressive on doppler (as well as going over your head).
I think it's gonna blow 20 plus for a while :)

just got a report from H. Someone got dragged across the highway. Was wrapping up kite in exit lane southbound. Paramedics showing up.
Luckily no car accidents. Guy was OK I guess.

Whoa, not good! I was hoping no one was on the water when the gust hit, but I had a feeling people would be and was afraid of something like this. I hope whoever it was is ok. If anybody saw what happened, can comment on weather warning signs, etc., please do, so that people can learn from this incident.

No big deal, it went from 13 to 35+ in a few minutes but everyone and their kites made it in safely 'cept for some scratches, although it was a little sketch esp. when it happens that fast. Pattern as usual for the Skyway.

I was the last one in on a 17m contra when it hit, thanks for the catch Bob!

So, nobody played frogger?
