Peak wind gust in TV Nicole
 

I seen a report of a peak wind gust today at 10AM of 58 mph here in The Villages. Anyone have other readings ?

No where near that.

What was the source??


The Villages Wind Forecast, FL 32159 - WillyWeather

Great site to refer back to in the future, Thanks

This site shows 56mph at 7am:
Wind & weather forecast The Villages/Summerfield - Windfinder

Look close - UPDATED at 11:47 am.

Yes, the forecast was updated at 1147.

I use the app WindCompass and saw gusts to 52mph earlier. The highest sustained I saw was 32.

I also us PWS Monitor which lets you see personal weather stations in your area. I saw gusts to 45mph. But these can be somewhat unreliable depending on where people place their wind gauge.

You have a valid point - I think. Your site does exhibit actual data via clearer verbiage. Looks like a peak at 7AM of 32 mph. Since I am a snowbird and this storm being extremely rare to be in November it is my first real time experience. If that one gust that blew my outdoor bar door open was 32 mph I promise never to stick around here if 100 mph is forecast.

The good thing is..............houses are packed in tight.
The damage comes to homes next to open spaces (course, parking, swamp, etc.).

Lucky me - my house is on an oversized golf course lot with the lanai and outdoor bar facing north east. A direct hit this am. No damage but a few sabre rattlings.

probably been in your yard.

It surely was more than a 32 MPH wind that blew the top screen off my lanai. We have debris in our pool and a bird flying around in the lanai. Screen folks on call.

The worst is hitting someone's roof!
Then taking a provisional, aiming farther away and the provisional lands in the same yard as the first ball. . .
