Since the storm intensified over land, buoy pressure readings were higher than the above. However, buoy 44024 off the coast of Maine registered waves over 35 feet high before falling silent. Amateur weather stations in Washington County Maine reported wind gusts to 72 and 74 mph. Mount Washington, NH (home of the world's worst weather) experienced their lowest pressure readings in a year and reported a wind gust of 84 mph while the temperature was 7 degrees.
