It was crazy. There were actually a good number of people at the Dunes that day.

I guess Tropical Storms can be very unpredictable. I went to sleep not expecting any t'storms (SPC almost doesn't have us in a convective outlook) and Ashland ended up in a Tornado Warning and Severe Thunderstorm Warning in the last 30 minutes. Some wind gusts have been making a mess around the neighborhood but we still have power at least.

There was a bit of a data observation hole but best I can tell, it entered Kentucky at about 982 mb.

Woah! how low did it stay?

I wasn't working in St. Joseph until the following summer ('12), but I used to go there as a tourist and was there sometime not too long after Sandy came thru. I couldn't believe how much beach sand had been blown into big drifts to the point the normal driving lanes through the park at Silver Beach were blocked. Iirc tho, they had already put up the snow fences for the normal autumn windstorms, so they most likely just waited until spring and took front-loaders to put all the sand back on the beach. Rain fall may not have been too heavy but remember others posting that it was hitting everything sideways just like a full-fledged tropical storm.
