Rain, yes. Wind, not so much.

Hurricane Irene is quickly becomming extratropical over Canada. Impacts in Annapolis were mostly due to rainfall, although the 30-50 mph winds sure did a number on the electrical grid (tens of thousands of customers out of power in Annapolis, hundreds of thousands along the East Coast). Total rainfall ended up being 5.45" at KNAK, about in line with HPC estimates from Friday (and about 2-3" above what I thought we would receive). Below is a plot of hourly rainfall, cumulative rainfall, and hourly wind gusts and direction from KNAK. Also included are IR images from landfall in NC and closest approach to Annapolis.
