Hey all,
an extreme Bora, an extreme day with lots of adrenaline in Croatia coast yesterday I was chasing the well known wind 'Bora' from Rijeka to Senj.
A bridge to island Krk
Looking towards Senj shows fog over the water because of intense wind gusts, from my experiences it was over 150km/h!
There were great cloud forms over the sea:
When I arrived to this mini gulf, the view was fantastic! The Bora is smashing into the gulf with gusts around 180km/h!
I was unable to stay here, I was crawling near the wall, insane! I measure gusts at 155km/h, but I was not in the main channel in the middle of the road where max gusts were heading, so probably gusts were over 180km/h! it sounded like in the thunderstorm with these smashing gusts into the channel where the road is going through.
Later I went further to the village Senj, where the water was lapping onto the piers with 100-120km/h:
Here is my friend measuring wind while sea is watering him:
A bit left of this location there was a pier in the shelter of wind, but the sea waves were smashing into it with incredible power:
An incredible day was over in the late afternoon when 'Bora' wind decreased its speed below 100km/h, but in that place where I measured 155km/h before, it was still around 140km/h in gusts, marvelous place! 8)
