Weather channel is suggesting some of the plain states are experiencing the lowest barometric pressure in their history with this particular blizzard. They also called it the worst blizzard in 40 years for the "heartland". Barametric pressure usually associated with a cat 1 hurricane.Rhode Island

When this thing came through last night I got worried. The temp rose 4 degrees and the barometric pressure dropped . I lost 3 florescent bulbs in 5 minutes. The bulbs gassed out. I had never seen that before !Just west of me it rained 3/4 inch in 5 minutes...I’ll post a pic of one of the bulbs below. Really weird !

Wow, that is a heck of a wind. I remember once driving from Fargo to Bismark, ND with my camper in tow when the headwinds were so bad that I was thanking God that they were not on my beam. Might have taken me off the road. I was also anchored one time in Mississippi Sound when 70 mph winds came off a thunderstorm cell that almost beached me and my boat. Wind is not your friend (unless it is below 25 knots).

Oh Lord I know ! My son was on his Cutter running up the Mississippi River when Katrina when over them.. Communications blackout. He got a call in on Sat phone 2 weeks later. He said they were out of fresh water and searching, loading up people. They were desperate for water for the injured and crew. He got caught in Rita just before that...

They even gave this storm a name. Ulmer. My correct type changed ulmer to ulcer. Lol. I should have left it. I think my phone named it better anyway.
I saw a video on tv of another truck getting blown over.South Dakota

They have those wind warnings in Cal driving in the desert . They can flip a truck and its kind of drive at your own risk .
Then if you value your vehicle you just don’t go . You also get the added bonus of a free sand blasting on your paint job
And if you have an Airplane look up crabbing in landing in crosswinds .
Now that’s a special treat to get your heart rate up higher then it’s ever been .My brother mastered it but I was doing the heathcliff everytime .
crosswinds , not my best friend in life experiences .

You have to look up some crosswind landings for entertainment . The 747 coming in one of my favorites . Gives another level of respect for pilots .
Those poor truck drivers have it bad enough .1 Photo
