Those projected wind speeds are noteworthy anywhere. Stay safe. Keep us posted.

I have never been this concerned in my 15 years of own a PWS as I am for today, I dread to think how the folks in the south west feel, meant to be 20mph faster gusts down there

For the folks down SW, this is in effect a Cat 2 hurricane, just obviously not the same genesis. Jeez, engage pucker factor..

I think Eunice will meet the definition of a weather bomb

22mb in around 18 hours

50 mph gusts so far but the storm isn't due to peak for another 3 or 4 hours at my location

Transporterman · « **Reply #31 on:** February 18, 2022, 02:51:14 AM »

Had a 70.8 mph gust at 7am but I can hear that it's just starting to get into its stride. I believe the peak could arrive around 10 ish, It's getting very noisy indeed.

box · « **Reply #32 on:** February 18, 2022, 02:52:48 AM »

And that's it
Just turned

1015.3 to 991.2mb in 19 hours

Bashy · « **Reply #33 on:** February 18, 2022, 02:59:44 AM »

Its an impressive drop, my peak is meant to be midday and at the moment WeatherPro is talking out of its anus, they say 70 now, ha, only had half that at 7am lol so it looks like they have grossly exaggerated it for my location, hopefully, unless its a late bloomer...

Ignore the header title of the image

its just wind, gust is pressure, in case it wasnt blatantly obvious lol

Transporterman · « **Reply #34 on:** February 18, 2022, 03:05:43 AM »

I woke up to see a peak gust of 70 mph but it is really getting going now. The banging and crashing outside is the worst I've heard in 29 years here. And there is more to come.

biggest gust 64 mph here, amazing how much difference being a couple of miles inland makes!!

I like the vast bluebottle that crawls across the camera at 10.23. Plus you have got birds actually flying in your garden! No chance of any birds or bluebottles doing anything but hiding here. After a comparative lull for an hour it sounds like it is starting to pick up again here.

Transporterman · « **Reply #41 on:** February 18, 2022, 05:29:57 AM »

Yes, the gusts are back up to 66mph but the sun has just come out!

Bashy · « **Reply #42 on:** February 18, 2022, 05:30:25 AM »

Yeah, it's a little bugger, the other door is open all day long unless the rain is from a northerly direction, they can't seem to find their way back out again lol

Had a 50mph here so far, it's quietened a little gearing up for midday..

broadstairs · « **Reply #43 on:** February 18, 2022, 05:38:19 AM »

Gusting around 40-46mph here and the only birds flying are gulls.

Bashy · « **Reply #44 on:** February 18, 2022, 05:57:06 AM »

Just had a 53 and it felt like the whole place shook, the live view was crazy, I would be happy if that's the most it will do today

broadstairs · « **Reply #45 on:** February 18, 2022, 06:01:00 AM »

My WS80 has now stuck at 3.58mph wind speed and 9.62mph gust speed for the past 10 minutes. All other readings seem fine and I can't see anything stuck in it! Battery and signal strength is fine. Real bummer just as the storm is getting going.

Transporterman · « **Reply #46 on:** February 18, 2022, 06:03:09 AM »

Not sure what it's doing here the wind had started backing to WNW but now it's returning to the SW. Either the worst is past or it's gearing up for another go! https://www.ecowitt.net/home/share?authorize=2JVCRC

That's a real shame, WS80 that's the ultrasonic one isn't it? Maybe something hit it.

It's really annoying because this is a brand new one which replaced my old one under warranty, it has only been up a short time! Don't think it has been hit as it is up a pole, not very high but I'd expect if it was hit the other readings would fail as well. All other readings are OK as is battery and signal to both my GW1000 and GW1100.
