Tough Weather Today...

My nearest class D airport is no longer reporting data.  There are at least two airplanes upside down (C152 and tri-pacer).  They were tied down, but broke free.

See the current Metar below.

Friday I was actually thinking of flying home in this from newport news va to laurel maryland. glad I didnt try it. btw I landed a c152 winds were 30 degrees off runway 34 gusting to 40 something years ago. it actually worked out to be a descent landing.
