This is Hawkeye in Cedar Rapids. It’s a damn war zone here. I lost my tree, fence, and garden. Trees are trashed everywhere. My neighbor’s 60 ft maple was sheared right off halfway up. We got 50 mph sustained, with gusts to 100, for 30+ minutes. It was unreal.
Good luck man. The real estate market is insanity right now. I bought my house last year in January for 160k. Just got it appraised and it's worth 190k. 30k in 1 year. Houses are going 10-50k above asking right now depending on price range. Some of my clients have said open houses have 20-30 bids each. Buffalo is still exploding in value. People realize how great of a place it is to live finally. I love this city. I've traveled all over the world and still find this place amazing.
Indoor dining has been open here for 2 months. I just ate at a bar 2 days ago, was pretty normal. Gyms, movie theaters, sporting events, concerts remain closed. Makes no sense, open up everything.
The antibody testing is even worse. Has like a 30% success rate. Matthew Stafford also had a false positive covid test. I spoke with a client of mine who works at department of health in erie county and shes seen several as well.
I agree with this, but in this instance I just don't see how tens of thousands of scientists would jeopardize their morale and licenses for the sake of pleasing political agendas after devoting their entire life for the betterment of our country.
This country has a real problem with being anti science. My entire Facebook is flooded with conspiracy theories about the coronavirus and anti vaccine. They think everything is corrupt. While many things are, I just don't see how scientists and those in the medical world that go to school for 10-15 years to help people would be involved in a giant ponzi scheme to deceive the country.

Looks like this winter will feature a weak La Nina. This usually features snowy Decembers. Besides 2013-2015 winters, 2000-01 might have been my favorite winter
2017-18, 2016-17, 2008-09, 2000-01, 1995-96 ,1983-84, 1971-72
Yeah some pretty good storms moved through. Heavy rain, quite a bit of close lightning, and decent winds. Severe Tstorm warning went up for them. Had to be 1-2" of rain. Really mad I missed the waterspouts. Dunkirks a good distance from here. Can't wait for waterspout season in September.
That would make some sense. However, the beginning of the month featured a predominant rare NE wind which gave those insane temps to the recording station. The predominant wind direction in the summer is SW which would bring a lake breeze to the area. It's very difficult to get 90+ with a SW breeze. We had 8 straight days of 90+ in July due to the NE wind.
The month of June was +0.8 above normal.
I guess we will see if there on any side effects to a vaccine pretty quickly. Leave it to Russia to bypass all medical research standards and go right into vaccinating everyone.

What's shocking is how much we beat the all time record high month by with +1.4. That is a pretty large departure. 5 out of the warmest 10 Julys on record are in the last 15 years with 4 of them being in the last 9 years.
