Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

bulldzr -- was in a hurricane in Boston -- eye wall slid by just east, headed NNE, so several hours of generally northerly (NE to N to NW) winds gusting into hurricane range -- with heavy rain from early on that quickly saturated the ground (which was already plenty moist from recent precip) -- there was a big old tree behind my place, I think it was an oak, at least had a similar structure/look -- going into the stretch of the strongest gusts, started to tilt just a wee bit, then just a wee bit more, and so on for about an hour, by which point it had developed a pretty severe list -- then, finally, still very slowly, almost gently, settled the rest of the way over as the rest of the whole big old rootball came rollng up out of the ground

don't mean to suggest you're at risk of any winds that strong -- though you'll have a stubborn easterly wind that could get to around maybe 35 (more or less) sustained with aome gusts as high as maybe 50 or so (at least that's the worst case barring a highly not expected explosive redevelopment back to a hurricane while the center of circulation remains out over the water for the next day or so) (. . .) -- per the progs, still 2 days till it finally really begins to clear your area -- with a risk of some additional inundating/multi-inch per hour rainfalls if/as new heavy banding/a new heavy precip core develops in close to/around the center of circulation as it is and remains back out over the water -- as appears to be occurring -- (linked in) https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=134119698 and preceding and following, http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=134112201 and preceding and following
