Gale

Right, the winds.

Gale force winds gusting to 44, then 45 miles per hour.

That is insane.

That is enough wind to rip shingles off a roof, and they are preparing to land a 130,000-pound aircraft in the middle of it.

Coastal impacts ongoing with that area of low pressure offshore through the weekend.

Gale warnings continue with those gusts of 40 plus.

Coastal flood advisories because of the push of the winds.

One to three feet of inundation possible, especially around high tide and dangerous surf conditions, too.

Clear and chilly upper 40s to the north, low 50s south.

Here's that first alert 7 day forecast.

I'll see you tomorrow at the Gale Parkins Memorial Walk for ovarian cancer in the morning.

Upper 70s to around 80 this weekend.

He listed floods, earthquakes, dark and yellow days, big meteors, eclipses, avalanches, droughts, great gales, tornadoes, hurricanes, and storms of hail and heavy snow.

Prominent among them were the Long Storm of 1798, the September Gale of 1815, and the Lighthouse Storm of 1851.

The Long Storm, as the name suggests, was of long duration.

It began on the 17th of November and continued with terrific gales and heavy snow until late on the 21st.

From Purley's account, it seems that the center of the storm crossed Cape Cod.

A great many vessels were lost and there was much suffering among the people.

The September Gale of 1815 became famous because of a poem written in later years by Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was six years old at the time of the big gale.

Holmes remembered and lamented the loss of his favorite pair of britches in part as follows.
