[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in Northern Virginia for over 20 years. I never remember having massive windstorms (for lack of a better word) like we have had occurr over the last 18 months to two years. I feel like I am semi regularly getting gale warnings, and wind warning alerts on my weather apps and hearing howling winds as I worry about trees coming down.

Does anyone else feel like this is a new thing here?? [/quote]

No I don't feel this way at all.  In my 40s born and raised in the suburbs here.  I remember as a kids running around on summer days in the 1980s before summer thunderstorms and how insanely windy it would get.  I also remember winter winds being fierce and making it so cold out. In comparison to say this year the wind feels like a distant memory. Spring always brought lots of wind and was the time of year you could routinely fly a kite.    More recently there were crazy weather patterns that were constantly toppling oaks and other trees in the early 2000s.  Loosing power in silver spring and other inner suburb areas was a constant threat from the wind for many years.  Drove a lot of people crazy.

Living in northern virginia in 2024 I feel the opposite of you.  I love wind and feel like we get very few really windy days.[/quote]
