Sounds like a great day to fly a Stearman or a Cessna tailwheel equipped airplane.


I really liked the pirep that said everyone threw up.

I've only thrown up once in my airplane. I was over dalton georgia and hit some turbulence so bad it made me sick. i knew better but tried anyway to hurl out the window of a cessna. It just makes a bigger mess when it blows back into the cabin with you. That second hot dog at the fly-in was a bad idea.




Regards,

P.

I did a flight like that, from Baltimore to Dulles when AA had a cancellation at BWI and booked me on a flight out of Dulles. It was the bumpiest flight I have ever been on, take off to touchdown, just terrible, lots of throwups. I have ~1700 hours PIC in small airplanes, too.

One of those General Yaeger flights where you were in the air wishing you were on the ground.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I am sure the storms are due to manmade global warming; people in CA driving too much (at least that's what my neighbor claims.) Roll Eyes

We were in Orlando over the holidays to enjoy the freezing rain. Smile

We're getting sustained gusts up to about 50 on the ground here. I had to grab my trash can really fast after they picked up this morning, it was already heading down the street.

It's a bit breezy out today for sure. Schools closed from NOVA to Richmond and at least as far west as Charlottesville. Power outages everywhere and trees all over the roads. I-64 West was cut to 1 lane for a bit while I was heading out due to a downed tree.

My uncle was headed to work this morning and actually ended up getting stuck between 2 downed trees a couple of miles apart on a 2 lane road.

Funny thing is that while I lived out west in AZ and CO, the wind pretty much blew like this all of the time. It's not until you mix in large trees and soggy ground that it begins to really be an issue.

No power when I go him today but it came back on with 45 minutes.

Some trees down, most looked like they were dead. I've seen downspouts and metal flashing coming off some homes today. Lights out and sings also down.

Not great but really not to bad. Neighbour was taking pictures of his car when I came home. Walked over and there was a 10' piece of metal flashing that had come off a house and scratched his door.

Just got off the phone with my dad in Rappahannock. Garage roof blown off the neighbors place. Roof blown off one of the hay barns. Several large trees down (100+ year old oaks) and power lines down all over. One has sparked a fire less than a mile away. Several agencies involved including the fire control team for Shenandoah National Park with a dozer. It is really close to a house that was used as a hospital during the Civil War. Still no signs of letting up in that area and they are still without power.
