What happened
The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.
Strong, gusty, northwest winds developed over northern New England as a storm intensified rapidly in the Gulf of Maine. Although the strong winds persisted for an extended period of time, no damages were reported. However, the winds were a factor in a fatal, single-vehicle accident near Hebron in Grafton County. Police stated that wind gusts likely blew the vehicle off the road. Peak wind gusts were 46 mph (measured) at Concord and 45 mph (measured) at Portsmouth.
