We get that everytime there’s a fast moving thunderstorm going throught the area. 60 mph gusts happen realitively frequently.
What am I missing here that makes this exceptional?
My thoughts as well. We have many 60 mph+ winds here out in the rural West. Never makes the nighttime news.
Ditto. We have 60+ MPH winds on almost no notice when thunderstorms pass within 50 miles of us at the right time in the evening. When the convective lift stops, the storms die and a huge rush of air comes down out of the anvil... and 10’s of miles away, it can cause very sharp increases in winds seemingly with no warning, no clue except the casement windows are getting ripped off the house.
