This morning...they are just jaw dropping. Crabbing ain't the word. One Continental 737-8's track was 280; but his heading definitely was somewhere between 265 and 270.
I'm sure some of you along the east coast will observe and experience this today. If you can, post some video!

No videos, but over the last few days here in the Houston area I've been flying approaches into 50 kt crosswinds. For an airplane with an autopilot, I didn't think I would find myself hand flying a 40 mile Localizer approach because 'George' just wasn't cutting it! Those winds are a kick'n alright!
