It's like a border line severe storm without the rain. Gusting to 40 here and there are some reports of it gusting to 50.

Anyone up for cleaning up a mess?? Limbs and leaves everywhere. Fortunately only a few serious problems from the winds today, which did die down on schedule by 8 pm fortunately.
