January 18th Wind
How about the wind last night? The combination of the wind and garbage day in my neighborhood wasn’t a good combination for me as all the noise of rattling garbage cans kept me up. Peak wind gust 33 mph at 1:43 1/18/2009.
Windy in the Gorge
I saw a news item this morning that the winds in the western Gorge reached 101 mph! Wow! The interesting thing is that at my place near the mall the wind is nearly calm. My peak wind gust yesterday was only 19. I had to head east of I-205 a couple of times yesterday and noted that just east of I-205 the winds picked up significantly. This just goes to show how there are many micro climates around our area.
