Heavy rain, breezy and gusty from the NW - estimating about 20-30mph right now - we still don't have the really strong winds. Wave action looks about 2-3 feet.

Weather station near me (half way between Baltimore and Annapolis) is down to 979mb, winds 30-35, gusts to 45. 3.22" rain so far. It's about 2-3 miles from me, but similar exposure.

Winds have picked up now, their about 30-40mph. Its raining steady here now too. I'd expect them to pick up quite a bit more between 3 and 9pm EST, which is when it is said to be at its worse wind wise. Power outages are at 7,639 in New England and only going to continue to climb. Side Note: People still are not taking this storm seriously in my area. I'm being told "This is going to be another Irene" or "Its sunny and nice here in Keene" when do people seriously take preparation... All I know is I've got my bottled water, cell phones charged, Flashlights, Candles, and non perishables...

Weather station near me is now reporting 965mb!

Winds are very much higher than earlier. I'm guessing we are getting gusts well over 50mph now, but it's too nasty out to take out my hand anemometer.

Wind Gusts have gotten alot more prominent here. Prob 30-50 now.
Wind gusts of 76 mph on the Isles of Shoals and 62 mph in Londonderry were recorded.
On Mount Washington, the highest wind gust was 118 mph by 6 p.m.
Their saying 100,000 without power...
We have lost power 4 times in the last 2-3 hours...
But because were 5 miles within a hospital, we get it back fairly quickly...

Random, but Does CFHC have an App? For phones?

We have flooding pretty heavy here in Hampton. The place I used to walk on, the boardwalk, is covered...

Can see the video here.

I'm back - power came back up about 5 minutes ago.

We never got strong sustained winds, but we got gusts I'd guess 50-60mph. The wind direction swung to the W and SW much faster than expected, and that helped reduce wind speeds for me.

Tides are now high - 2' surge evident - but no damage. No waves. Wind is basically stopped - slow rain now.

Still seeing gusts close to 45 mph here. I would estimate the peak gust was around 60 mph after midnight last night. Very little damage, a lot less than I was expecting, mostly just branches and a few small trees.

Other than a couple brief lulls we've been having gusts over 35 mph for close to 60 hours straight. Should wind down overnight as the remains drift up toward Lake Erie and the winds back more offshore.
