Re: Ophelia

I was just outside (in Gainesville) and the winds up in the tops of the trees seemed like they must have been at least 25 mph, if not 30. It was enough to make me go inside with the dogs, out of fear of falling branches. In other words, the winds seem stronger now (with the last passing gusts) than I've seen thusfar with this storm. I'd guess either the wind field is expanding slightly or we just happened to catch a particularly strong wind band.
