• Looks like our DeLorean hit 88 miles per hour a little too hard! A recent style update went sideways, sending us back to a retro look for a bit. We've parked that faulty future theme for now while we tinker under the hood.

1/13/2024 - MA storm

Looks like that will just be some heavy rain and gusty winds. The forecast from NWS Norton mentions gusts to 39 while the threshold for a severe thunderstorm is 58 mph or higher. Could certainly see some flooding and possibly some smaller/older trees down.

Regardless of what the forecasted peak gusts are, watch out. I've seen old/unhealthy trees topple over or split in half in gusts less than 50 mph. Every time they took out fences and even a powerline in one case.
