wxmeddler Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I have no idea how reliable these personal stations are, well I probably do...but 70 MPH gust in Grant Park (the town, not the park). http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KILGRANT4 That station is a Vantage Vue which in my experience is pretty good at measuring high winds, give it +/- 5%. It's in an area with open farmland too, so I'd say it's near accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 VERY impressive storm blew through where I work just east of the QC. We evacuated the lab for the first time since I've been there (9yrs). Was actually the first time I've been worried about a storm hitting where I was in a long time. Looked like a hurricane out there for a short while. Lots of tree damage around the area. QC has over 30000 homes without power currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just had a strong SSE wind gust around 40 mph. Enough to knock some dead branches down out of the trees. Thundering now too. Sounds intense Cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Damn. There were multiple mesovortices within the line at that time, I'm guessing some areas saw significantly enhanced velocities. Yeah there's many areas where the damage is actually quite light. Just small branches and leaves down. Then you come across areas where many of the trees have lost at least one or two big limbs up top. Several uprooted trees around the area as well. There's no doubt in my mind some areas were probably hit with 80mph winds. Looks like here at the house the winds stayed in the 40-50mph range. Really not much damage around this neighborhood.

Stebo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Wow, good luck. Man this thing's hauling ass. Can't believe it's already deep into Indiana. Should keep on going at least for the next 2 hours maybe more if the LLJ kicks in. The instability is very good along and ahead of the bow.

Indystorm Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Storm wasn't too bad here in my immediate vicinity at Dunlap. I see 50 mph gust reported at IWX NWS office in North Webster. The pink sheet lightning was notable however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
