    Actually, I believe KORF had 74 from the reports I heard.
    Lost the vinyl faceboards on my upper deck front panel (about 12’ square area)… flag pole torn from its mooring … found pole, flag, and metal holder with screws about 10’ away!
    Lots of rain blown up under shingles; thus some leaks.
    Neighbor 4 houses to the east lost an oak tree, not so much from wind, but from saturated front lawn.
    Rain was spread out, thank goodness, with an average hourly amount (for many hours!!) of .15-.20 inches per hour.
    No downpours, just periodic moderate to heavy rains.
    Lots of nearby flooding.
    Center I manage just got power back 7AM this morning. Out THU at 7PM. Vantage Pro there went straight line as battery back-ups just didn’t last.
    Couldn’t get there from home until yesterday afternoon. Wedding there this afternoon!!
    Thank goodness power came back on for them.
    A rarity here! Didn’t lose power here. After Isabel had no power for 3 days and all other services not back after 13 days!!
  • PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA
  • SAT, NOV 14, 2009 PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA 11:59 PM EST

    10 0.11”
    11 2.71” RECORD
    12 5.31” RECORD
    13 0.85”
    14 0.07”
    Maximum Wind Gust of 57mph [ RECORD ] from 360° at 10:23 PM EST 11/12/09
    The building I manage in Ghent in Norfolk has a Davis Vantage Pro cabled and the sideways rain
    apparently inundated the shed and soaked the sensor motherboard.
    Last wind gust there was 61mph before sensors went straight-line suggesting that the motherboard
    shorted or ruined; but the console working ok. Checked it all out and wiring still in tact to the MB.
    So will wait and see if it dries out; otherwise, replacement time.
    One of the very early 2002 type units unlike the one I have at home which has the MB enclosed
    and watertight and separate from the sensors. Older unit has MB built into thermal shed.
    Everyone here drained by this prolonged storm.
    Even with Hurricane Isabel, here one day, gone the next, skies cleared.
    But the sun is shining this AM and we just move on down the road of life.
    Just happy the 50 old oak 10 foot from my den didn’t come crashing down.
    Root system very sturdy and only one limb came down on the outside deck.
