Yup we had a peak wind gust of 64 mph and a doozy of a power outage on the island. It was caused by a tree down across Eagle Shore Road. NH Coop said to prepare for several days outage, but it ended up being just 24 hours.

The cam, modem, and router are on battery backup which should keep them running for several hours, maybe more, since they don't use much power... but I got adventurous and thought I'd see how long it would also support the weather computer (without monitor, of course). A whole 30 minutes.

Yesterday there was an internet outage resulting in another outage for the weathercam site. Today seems to be smooth sailing so far and even a few glimpses of the SUN!!!

The weather instruments have C-batteries that can support them for 6 weeks, and they kept logging data during the storm that I've now downloaded to the computer. Sometime later today or tomorrow I'll post some graphs on the weather thread.
