9/14 - 2pm - WIND UPDATE

We've been recording gusts up to 40mph over the last hour at my house. The power is flickering like crazy here so this will be short. We're under a High Wind Warning until 3pm this afternoon. Higher gusts of near 60mph could be possible during the next hour as more of what's left of Ike comes through. No appreciable rain on the radar right now, just some small sprinkles here and there. Maybe we'll get lucky and not have any heavy storms this afternoon... but we do need the rain. The winds should die down tonight at around 8pm when the Wind Advisory expires.
