We were testing 800,000+ per day in this country, but now it has dipped to a bit over 700,000. Clicking through various states, it does appear that a lot of the drop in testing can be attributed to states like Florida, Texas and to some extent Arizona. California had a brief dip in testing about a week ago but it has since increased. Whatever the cause, the numbers are what they are.

LOT confirmed 2 more tornadoes. I think that makes 9 in the cwa.

At least casualties were kept to a minimum... considering the large area impacted. Last I saw there were 2 deaths and less than 10 injuries reported. Generally speaking it seems like the warnings got out quickly, as they should when you have such an obvious thing on radar.

My cousin's ex husband had it. His main symptom was extreme fatigue that came on quickly... was bad enough that he was afraid he was going to crash his car. His wife also tested positive but no symptoms.

If you use SPC filtered storm reports, 8/10 is the 2nd most active severe weather day in the US this year.

The weird thing about the longer term symptoms is that it spans across severities of the initial illness. Just because you had mild symptoms initially doesn't mean that you won't have long term symptoms. Have even seen some stories of people who thought they recovered and then the symptoms resurfaced.

At this point can pretty much only count on the slower reporting days of Sun/Mon to come in less than 1k

Could make a good case for that being the most significant tornado in the city limits since 1976. More recent ones have been EF0.

Ouch Wonder how many millions lost power from this.

It then tracked along and south of Riley Rd. Widespread tree and structural damage occurred through this path. Grain bins were toppled and farm outbuildings sustained significant damage. The tornado tracked through several cornfields that resulted in significant crop damage. The tornado lifted just east of Beech Rd. .Tornado 2...

The church sustained a loss of roof covering. Additional areas of tree damage were noted farther to the east- southeast. Some homes sustained damage as a result of falling trees and branches. The tornado then crossed out over Lake Webster and dissipated. EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale Classifies Tornadoes into the following categories.

So true. The wind footprint from some of these derechos is sort of like a tropical system over land. Even though you generally don't get house flattening damage, the widespread area of substantial tree damage and low-moderate end structural damage is going to make this one fairly costly.

Nice one overall. Impressive corridor of higher end wind reports from IA into IL.

One of the aforementioned Rogers Park vids

Yeah I saw a couple vids. One from closer up as it moves out into Lake Michigan and the other from a bit farther away in which you clearly see debris being lofted.

Appears there may have been a quick tornado in Rogers Park.

Leading edge was not super intense but enough to knock down some small-medium size branches. Now getting some of those gusty bursts.

Could move in here or very close by if it holds together.

Sun is back out here.

Really impressed by the reports of the duration of the winds. One thing to get the big gusts through quickly but another to have it last a while.

Almost need a short fused high wind warning

If they don't upgrade to high risk at 20z, I would attribute the reason to the background synoptics not being higher end. But that hardly matters at this point with a well developed/established convective system and good maintenance parameters downstream.

Agree. I was thinking back on August derechos specifically in the past 10-20 years, and this one looks like it has a chance to be at or near the top of list. A lot of extracurricular activity happening on the streets of Chicago and even spilling into northwest IN. Hopefully people who are outside are aware of the wx situation later.

I remember the old school high end severe thunderstorm warnings where they would mention "siren activation is suggested" in times like this. Don't know if any offices still do that, but this is the perfect type of situation for it.
