Hi LesCimes and WeatherCat record setters,
My anemometer is just a few feet off the roof-line, so it will never record anything very extreme. However, when the winds are strong there - it means trouble. My record high wind gust was:
Highest recorded wind speed: 30.0 MPH on 19-Jan-2010
That was the day the house was struck by lightening and we lost a two computers, a stereo, DVD player, and power to about 1/3 of the house.
So I've had my fill of those kind of records!!
Cheers, Edouard
