Hope everyone escaped without any injuries.

LL6,
Our power has stayed on since the 12-hour outage on Friday night/Saturday morning, even though it was very windy here again yesterday. (We had a gust of 52 mph between 12 noon and 1pm yesterday.) I think power has been restored to most of the people in this area who lost power on Friday, but some other areas of the state may not have power restored until tomorrow or even Tuesday.

Thanks for the update. It must have been quite unsettling to have the wind speed so high. Hopefully there were no serious problems for those taking part in the Derby.
Looking forward to returning mid-April.

For those of you registered with the Laconia Citizen, they have presented a mini slide-show of fishermen coping with the winds during the derby.

We had a light dusting of snow Saturday morning. About 10:00 I watched a funnel cloud that picked up that light snow fall roughly 100 feet high and 30 feet wide start at spindle point and blow clean over to goveners island. and that was 18 hours after the wind was supposed to stop blowing!
