on_wx Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That's HydroOne customers. Up to 107K now. Geez! One by one they're coming down. Not hearing any reports yet of hydro outages across Waterloo Region. *knock on wood* But the wind is seriously gusting right now. Sounds like a steaming kettle in the apartment hallway for some reason. Might take a short walk soon to inspect the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to work tomorrow sadly or else I'd still be out there. House creaking like it hasn't in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knitwx Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Guys , you know lot more about this then I do. We have small trees down all over the woods . In most places they all face toward the northeast. In one spot we have trees facing North East, East, and South West. Could this have been micro-burst?

Hoosier Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I was in Burlington and missed it completely by 8-10 miles. The video was maybe 6-8 miles away. Ah. I've seen probably 100 pics from Kokomo and the damage looks pretty intense but I'm sure that pics don't do it justice. My thoughts are with you guys.

KokomoWX Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 We dodged a lot of bullets with the storm as far as damage and injuries. I think we will have 35-45 destroyed homes from the storm. Around 300 with damage. I did damage assessment with a retired Kokomo firefighter and there were times we were both confused where we were at. All the recognizable landmarks and signs were gone. A very close call to the movie theater and a Kokomo lost one fire station but was very close to losing three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Glad to see you're okay Jim. Nice video. I was spotting in southwestern Huntington County and experienced similar wind and near zero visibility conditions for about a minute. I found out later that I was positioned about 4 miles from where the Grant County EF-2 lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 IND has the path of the LAF EF3 at ~30 miles in the Damage Assessment Toolkit. Feel very fortunate that it skirted the south/east fringe of town or else we'd be dealing with another Kokomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel very fortunate that it skirted the south/east fringe of town or else we'd be dealing with another Kokomo. Yikes. Just checked it out. A couple of miles northwest and it would have gone through industrial complexes, densely populated residential areas, IVY Tech College, and near the Tippecanoe mall and lots of businesses.
