Brutal Wind
 
If you have a place or boat on the lake and are not there, you might want to check on it!

A brutal squall just came through and wreaked some havoc at my place on Welch. Snapped a couple umbrellas in half and tore the bimini off my pontoon.

Wind was out of the southwest, lasted about 5 minutes.

If you have a moored boat you will definitely want to check on it...

We got quite a wind here too. I didn't think it was that bad, but it blew some chairs and tables around and really blew my vegetables and flowers.

Big tree and lines down between Ames Farm and Riley road. No power here.

NJ got hit too
 
Looks like a micro burst on Round Island.


We had high winds on Thursday in Central NJ. My brother lost some panels from his carport roof. Here in northern NJ we had a 50 minute power failure from high winds.

Does Waterville Valley have any wind & water?
 
About 40-yds of 6' tall construction fence surrounding the new Waterville Valley 18-hole mini golf, now being constructed, and new Sky Trail .... www.rciadventure.com/sky-trail/ .... got flip-flopped by the big wind, upside down.

Also, the 7-boulder water crossing on the west bank of the Mad River had so much fast rushing water that it was entirely submerged underwater and impossible to cross. Big, high, rushing river water, temp 50-degrees icy cold was very fast to happen, with this deluge ..... :eek:.

Well that's wonderful. They were lucky with all those trees snapped like toothpicks!

Cow Island got hit very hard.
Historical damage. The Idlewild (southwest) side suffered the most damage.
