Who got hit by weather?

45mph wind gust on my backyard wind meter, fastest I have had in 2 years of
owning it. Lots of trees uprooted, signs down, semis blown over, crazy.

Really? Where do you live?

A 45 mph gust in two years makes me think you live in a sheltered area, or your
meter is way off. A 45 MPH wind does not usually blow over semis, ect.

I was thinking the same thing. Shoot, during the spring we'll get
gusts to 45 pretty regularly -- and storms with winds over 60
routinely.

Indy, my weather station is in my backyard but I do live in a neighborhood.
I would like to put the weather station on the roof of my house but I'm
trying to not look like white trash...

Really? Weather stations are like couches on the front porch? I want to
put up a weather station on the side of my house some day but didn't
realize there was a stigma associated with 'em.

I would think you would want to put them where they are out in the open to
measure wind speed.

Do they make any with magnetic mounts that I could stick on the roof of one
of the parts cars in the front yard?

Call me crazy but this on the roof would look a bit odd IMO. This is the
station I have.

My neighbor has something like that on his roof.

It would look like someone who was an amateur meteorologist buff lived under
that roof. Nothing redneck in that, at all, IMHO.

Would you say that a radio station, or a FBO looked more like a redneck place,
with one of those setups on the roof? I don't think so.

Put it where it will work. Otherwise, you are wasting it's capabilities. You
might want to see about putting the temperature sensor elsewhere, if that is
possible. The roof is a bad place, for a couple reasons. The rain collector
could be put lower than the ridge, so it is not visible from the road. All that
needs to be on a pole above the roof is the wind equipment.

I know of a local grass strip runway that has people who live along it
where I've notice a aircraft up on blocks in the front yard... Does that
count as a redneck fly-in/fly-out community?

Only if the grass is so tall that you can only see the rudder sticking up from
the grass.

Added points if there are a couple broken lawn mowers, sitting with it! g
