This morning they were explaining how the 100-200 mph winds stayed 1000 too 2000 feet above the ground.

According to them they never made it to the ground... but they were up there... :unimpressed: 😂

yeah that's due to surface friction

Moral of the story...

The storm wasn't as bad as they were trying to make it seem. :animu_smug8:

for instance: at KBDL (Bradley International, Connecticut) the winds are 10 kts (12 mph) from 010° and at 34000' MSL they are at 108 kts (124 mph) from 240°

usually the effects aren't quite as drastic as what you said but friction certainly does play a part
