This is wild! Just had a gust to 42 mph which is the second strongest gust I've recorded in 12 years! Sustained at 27 mph which is by far the fastest sustained I've ever had. First time I've gotten the "Hold onto you hat" warning from my Davis weather station.

Probably seen more than a dozen flashes from transformers and watched the temperature drop 10 degrees in about 10 minutes.

That’s my home station. We are very exposed to south wind. Definitely feels like the strongest wind I can remember here since we moved here in 2015.

How high do you have you anemometer off the ground?

72mph wind gust reported at the top of the Space Needle (600’)

I didn't even know there was a station up there. Very impressive. I wonder how that compares to some of our other biggest windstorms?

Big gust around 10 seconds in... I'd bet that it was roaring above 55mph at the tree level.

It’s probably 25ft. It’s a few feet above my chimney and I’ve got a tri level. 

Those are some crazy gusts! I've always wanted to get my station up to the 10 meter standard to see what I could record, but there's not a good place for it near the house.

The current winners in the wind department seem to be Ferndale and Sandy Point which have recorded gusts above 70 mph. This map will probably change with the 2 a.m. update, but this is what the North Sound looks like so far. Without the measuring delay (and if my station was a bit higher) I would have recorded some gusts about 50 mph.

Very strong winds easily strongest since the big December 11, 2014 wind storm. Wow! I was outside and almost got struck by a limb from my fir tree as it flew over my house. It was real intense. I noticed this occurred with a westerly wind surge and not the gusty south winds we had been experiencing all evening ahead of the cold front. I also noticed with that surge of winds the gusts were very abrupt from literally 15mph to 50-60mph within seconds. Judging by the amount of power flashes I witnessed to my east and southeast I think Sandy, Boring, Estacada, Rhododendron, Welches, Zigzag have been hit really hard. I heard many transformers blowing too. That was a fun, quick hitter wind storm! Dang!

Some personal weather station out near Anacortes recorded a gust to 82 mph! And while there may be something funneling the wind towards it, another one just down the road hit 78 mph!

Pretty nice windstorm..had some gusts up to 55mph a few times. Still consistently going in ~45mph range. Wound up with 2.28” yesterday and 0.02” just after midnight for a storm total of 3.57”. 8.24” MTD. Going to go out and survey the damage in the morning. We shoulda listened to the EURO regarding this wind event.

Must have been associated with that severe warned thunderstorm that formed along the cold front. The temp dropped there 10 degrees in about 30 minutes at the same time as that crazy gust.

Saw a few gusts not too far from here near 60mph. Wouldn’t be surprised if we got close either. Weather stations in my neighborhood never seem to fully read winds over 35-40mph. We probably had a few 55-58mph gusts. Definitely heard some trees come down in the forest a block from my house and lots of branches down.

Not that I know of. I think they only warned it that way because of the imminent wind threat associated with it.

Had a 5 minute period of some.of the heaviest rain I've ever seen here with that and then it suddenly went calm.

Yeah, it definitely was. I don't think I've ever been under a severe thunderstorm warning before in WA and it was cool to watch what almost looked like a bow echo coming down the strait. We went from relatively calm here to 30 mph sustained in just a few minutes.

I think if there's a convectively-associated squall of straightline, severe criteria meeting gusts, then they just roll with a warning. Same thing happened back on January 7th, 2019.

Check out these insane pressure rises. PDX-DLS and PDX-PDT gradient.

PDX-DLS a 5mb pressure change in 1 hour. PDX-PDT even crazier nearly 7mb! Pressure tanking at Pendleton and rising at hypersonic speed at Portland. I am concerned for a big damaging wind storm for the Central Gorge to Columbia Basin! This certainly explains the westerly wind surge that caused all the damage and power outages in the area.

Looks like the wind is dying down as we are down to 16mph sustained and still haven't had a gust of 45+ in as long as I can remember.

Most significant recent weather memory for me remains the Labor Day firestorm. Absolutely nothing of significance has happened since. We had our coldest temp so far back in October lol.
