free_man Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I did an 11 mile run this AM and some more damage touring. All of the damage is on the NW side of town..From my house NW. I counted 28 other trees/partial trees down today in areas I didn't drive yesteday..so well over 45 that I saw. One on a car, one on a house, I saw one snapped power pole(maybe from a tree?) There are a few neighborhoods NW of me that were really hard hit with a tree or limbs down in just about every house. 2 rds were closed with trees all the way across wires and they wouldn';t let me run past(CLP was there). I would estimate winds def gusted to 60 mph in the hardest hit areas..possibly as high as 65. My yard gusted to prob 55-58 Can we do it again today? We can only hope. Sun is out Were you at home for that? congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Socked in with moderate rain at home, at work now. Work only had .03 of rain yesterday while at home I had .89. I heard RT 32 was pretty bad Kev, that and RT 14 in Scotland area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What i think happened was the core strengthened as it moved close to and over my hood with the quarter sized hail and winds.and as it continued moving N it collapsed which would explain the heavier damage just NW I'll try and get some pics up this morning. Have alot of yard clean up to do and ab day party to be at by 1:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Joe your delusional mind thinks nor Easters and 50s. Monday could have very heavy rain in fact with temps barely making low 70s for you. So flooding rains aren't far fetched for some. Nobody said and meant nor Easter and 50s except joking about a day 10 euro op which of you believed, shame on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard RT 32 was pretty bad Kev, that and RT 14 in Scotland area Thanks for the report Steve. Yeah could see the microburst from a mile away on rt 14 in Scotland and also on Mt. Tolland. Thankfully the severe was easy to pick out on radar... I felt we did a nice job targeting the areas. These days can be a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That cell sort of split which may have helped things. Yeah the storm initially did damage and flooding over Manchester and then the supercell split. The left mover in Tolland weakened quickly (that weakening was what did the damage when the core collapsed) and the right mover that moved through Willimantic and Scotland actually strengthened a bit.

Damage In Tolland Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Here is yesterday, Note the weenie cell that went over you. http://weather.rap.u...e=21&duration=2 LOL..That thing literally strengthened right over my house..As if it knew where I lived. Classic. So funny after what we talking about..when I said all I wanted was 1-2 trees down in my yard. I got exactly what i wished for and then some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 cool no problem, was trying to keep up reports on here as Wiz was once again MIA during a great event. While Wiz is concerned about twigs I try to find the areas of concentrated/impressive damage. Seemed to me a number of Litchfield County towns were hard hit as was Willimantic, Scotland, Tolland, Manchester, and Vernon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like that was the case when we were going back and forth yesterday, talking about what happened. Even the products on the regular NWS radar sites noted a wind max near Tolland.

CT Rain Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nice loop Scoots. The Litchfield County storm was the most impressive. Started off as a nice supercell and then it weakened and another one developed a bit north producing wind damage in Goshen and Torrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, man I was a very nervous Dad Granddad yesterday as my daughter was bringing my Grandson to his Allstar game in Willington and ran smack into Kevs storm just as it exploded. The kids talked for a half hour when they got home about how scared they were, but he is such a weenie he told me that it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have GR2 like Ryan does which will give a much better idea, but there was a pixel with greater than 25kts which is pretty good for OKX. Just seeing the max there is enough to note that winds were strong. I think yu saw 50-60 stuff in those areas to your NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
