Hurricane Irene

OK,"often" is an exaggeration.  But I've experienced those sorts of winds here several times since I've lived on AC.  The highest winds I've seen reached 140mph during Dean in 2007, according to a neighbour's wind gauge.

perhaps the neighbor had his other "foot" on the guage when you werent looking!

It's good to know that everyone is safe>  Hope to see you on AC.  My son and I are heading down 9/8, so help hold the bad weather away!!
