wisconsinwx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Wondering if that bow will pass east/ne and leave me on the southern edge here in Michiana as it crosses LM or if there will be a more se push. Lots of scattered convection behind the bow in southern IA moving ne. That is one strong heat ridge/theta axis. The bowing segment along the WI/IL border looks like it's trying to push NE or at least ENE, slightly elongating the complex. I hope it doesn't break apart the bow into smaller segments.

Lots of scattered convection behind the bow in southern IA moving ne. That is one strong heat ridge/theta axis. Looks like it took a more east turn as opposed to ENE the last couple frames, the longer it survives, the better chances of a south turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 While the southern part of the bow is moving due east, the northern part near Janesville looks like it's trying to curve more northeast, increasing the potential for the MKE area to feel its impacts. At the least the sky will be photogenic on my way to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indeedinger Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 My parents in Center Point, IA just called on a cell - no power, tree down on house, large shed moved 30 feet off its foundation. Local TV reporting roof off school in Urbana and showing all sorts of homes damaged or even destroyed. My Dad sounded spooked, and that doesn't happen easily. Had to be winds 80MPH+. I'm heading down in a few minutes to help clean up. KCRG TV just showed a brick building in Vinton with what looked to be the top floor destroyed.
