I’m a good six hours south of DC and even here we had wild wind. It came on with no warning at all, no thunder or lightning, like a shockwave or something. Ten to fifteen minutes of very high wind seemingly out of nowhere, trees thrashing like a Category 1 hurricane, leaves and branches flying, numerous power outages but nothing on the scale of points north.
I’m 90 miles west and was on a Harley, 10 miles from home when the winds hit.
That was a wild ride.
[and apparently I don’t weigh enough to myself firmly planted in the seat]
My only real concern was all the old, dead, feeble trees lining the road and overhanging the power lines.
