We were told to expect very high winds last night gusting to 60 MPH. After hyping that for days, we barely got 20 MPH winds. Friday winds were much worse and not really promoted as anything like what happened. On Friday we lost lots of trees and the wind blew hard (above 30 MPH) much of the day.
I hope for your sake that this is ALL blown out of proportion. My location is on the down river side of a big damn in Western MA. If it went, there is nothing that could be done to prevent the only two hospitals in the area from being washed away.
The state of the spillway there is concerning.
I think it was a bit overhyped, but it looks like a number of mountain communities along the coast and in the Sierras got over 10 inches total.
