What a night!! I live in the Upper Valley, surrounded by trees, so if I feel strong gusts of wind, it’s downright terrible east of the mountain. Our official peak gust overnight was 57 mph! The winds were so strong it knocked over a tree. The good news tonight is that, even though we will be windy, we will not experience the powerful surges of wind gusts that we did last night.
