Wow, I was just reading the Times Argus. Stratton had a 143 mph gust and Mount Mansfield had 103 mph gust.
Had to be the worst winds I have ever seen here. I was driving up G-flats. I look up and the poles are moving back and forth. The wires break next to me, I look in the rear view and the top of the pole I just passed breaks off. Fireworks everywhere!!!!
GMP was there within 30 min working on it. Not a job I would want yesterday. Debris was flying and trees were dropping around them. Our power was out for about 1 hr but, I'm sure there were others that have been out all night. We got lucky this time I guess.
