Here’s the observation at 9:30pm: After a day of overcast skies accompanied by humidity and temperatures that are warmer than I expected., I went out tonight to check on my plants on the roof deck and, other than a few arborvitae blown over (which are fine now), I’m happy to report that everything is pretty much as I left them earlier tonight.
What I’m also surprised about is that there is relatively little rain falling tonight; I’m sure it’s coming, but I just figured there’d be more by now. Meanwhile, I can say that the individual wind gusts are pretty significant; they’re calling for individual gusts of up to 70 miles per hour.
