Thanksgiving break
Nov. 27th, 2013 12:03 pmThanksgiving break has begun..mom picked me up early so she wouldn't have to go into town again. Hopefully I won't get too bored haha
Also this is pretty amazing:
Golden Valley Electric Association recorded an 83 mph gust atop its Fairbanks administration building earlier this month, the stoutest wind during a storm that knocked out power to thousands of area residents.
According to a GVEA Facebook post on Tuesday, an anemometer atop the two-story building on Illinois Street caught the gust during the Nov. 13-14 storm. The strongest sustained winds at the site during the event were 50 mph, according to GVEA.
GVEA spokeswoman Cassandra Cerny said an alarm to dispatchers is sounded when winds of more than 40 mph are recorded. Those alarms typically occur only three or four times per year, she said.
The gust is stronger than any that has been recorded by the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, which is known for its mild winds. The most powerful official reading for a three-second gust in Fairbanks was 59 mph in April 2003, though meteorologist Jim Brader said it’s tough to compare GVEA’s gust with an official one.
Wow!! That's hurricane force!! That's pretty amazing, considering Fairbanks isn't usually a very windy place..
