They always underestimate: So far downtown a peak sutain of 39mph and gust of 67mph. Sent a metal garbage can rolling into the lake, and caused a poor duck to go face first into the lake as well. Still waiting for damage reports, which I'm sure there is going to be plenty of. --Previous Message-- : looks like today they are forecasting gusts : from 60 kmp to 90kmp - that's about 37-56 : mph, correct? : : : http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/trends_table/pages/ytz_metric_e.html : : http://www.convertunits.com/from/kph/to/mph : : --Previous Message-- : Sadly I dont but the main weather station : for : this area is only half a mile from me across : open water.... : : : : http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/on-128_metric_e.html : : We'll likely get the top gust sometime : tomorrow afternoon.
