I'm over on Lake Champlain. Just came in from taking some videos. I've never seen waves break on the beach here like that. At least 6 footer breaking like an ocean beach. Out in the broad lake, it looks like the Pacific now.

Not meant to be an inside joke... your profile has no location information. From your user name, one would guess that you're in Vermont (duh), but this Winnipesaukee forum has many members who maintain places in the Lakes Region as well as somewhere else. And, I'm not familiar with any of your past postings to deduce where you might be reporting on in your 6:38 PM post. It didn't sound like a current report from Winnipesaukee, hence my inquiry.

I guess I spoke too soon as the Westerly winds last night were just brutal!! I got off pretty easy for the entire storm being on the West side of Welch, or at least I thought I did... From 9:00 P.M. until early this morning the wind out of the West was blowing hard, REAL HARD! Luckily no damage and no downed trees and everything was fine, but I am sure glad I took the time to secure everything down!!

Hope everyone got through this O.K. with little or no damage.

Is power back to Welch Island? Both circuits? Are you on the north or south side of the point where the power splits?

Judging from Gatto Nero's experience, the south side of Welch, facing Rattlesnake, may have gotten hit pretty hard. Any knowledge of this?

I'm on the West side of Welch. Not sure where the power splits but as of now there is still no power at my place. I have no knowledge of any damage on the South side. That side definitely had it worse than where I was, except last night when the West wind started to blow.

Anyone have any idea how big the waves got? I was looking at the Rattlesnake Is webcam and they looked like 3-4'.
