Thunder Road Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 A bit underwhelming imby. Highest gust was probably 40-50 mph, but only briefly. Hardly any thunder/lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Looks like several more small storms popped near Detroit with about 50dbz. Tigers just started a ball game. Tons of fans apparently decided to still come out despite the severe weather threat, as downtown was pretty congested. It could get rough...

Powerball Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It's been above 90ºF at KDET for over six consecutive hours now. Also impressively, the heat index has been 95ºF+ for seven hours and 100ºF+ for three. Putting that into consideration, probably the "hottest" day of the year so far and it's in September. Slightly less impressively in the 'burbs at DTW, you can shave an hour off of each streak. KDET always torches on days like this with the strong WSW flow (downsloping). For a second, I wondered if DTX would go with a heat advisory, given this was the hottest day of the year and the fact that IWX went with a heat advisory... BTW, clouds are moving in/billowing here, as a new line of storms try to get going ahead of those around Jackson/Lansing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centriptic Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It could get rough... Also to add; the Bi-Annual Air Show at Selfridge(MTC) is this weekend. I'm not sure there's enough hanger space to store all the aircraft that are in town (including the Blue Angels). I can only imagine how chaotic it is on base right now.

I'm hearing some distant thunder just southwest of you where I am. Getting really dark out here too and the radar is looking juicier now to the west.

Boogieman Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Dang... The northern edge of the storm core just missed us... two miles to the south. Sprinkles but no gust front as of yet. Lots of lightning though. Scud clouds are absolutely flying toward the south while you can see the storm clouds moving mainly to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Got some decent outflow winds (enough to knock the power out for a second) and a modest light show, but that's about it. Not much thunder and got split by the torrential downpours... Overall, not the best storm of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner88 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Complete mess here to the north of ORD this afternoon. Tree branches, from 2" - 8" down on nearly every street. Full trees actually snapped at the base half a mile west of me. Today was recycling day, so the bins were flung across the street and onto driveways. Some folks hadn't had their pick-up yet when the storms hit- all sorts of stuff on their lawns. Happened to be driving when the storms hit, visibility probably around 35 feet at the peak. Only took about 5 minutes for the streets to get overwhelmed, ditches across my neighborhood filled with water. All in all, quality event. Can still hear the saws going, dismantling the downed branches and trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Power is out all over my side of the city including at my house. Very large tree limbs down after several gusts nearing 70 MPH, few people with power in the immediate area.This storm was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radionicist Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Line moving through Henry County, Ohio is producing an awesome lightning show - the northern horizon is lit up almost continuously. Video to follow tomorrow, if we have power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 86° for a high. In the last 2 days it has rained 1.60" here. 63°/59° currently. Feels like fall! Closing in on 30" of water year to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Over 400,000 customers are without power in Michigan right now. That's one of the highest totals I can ever remember.Not sure where that ranks in history but I can only remember a few times where there were more outages. The derechoes of 1991, 1995 and 1998 come to mind. Come to think of it, the 90's were a crazy decade for Derechoes in this area.Edit: There's over 300,000 customers with outages just in SEMI alone according to DTE. 129,000 in Wayne/Oakland/Macomb. Apparently it's still rising as more reports come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Funny, but fitting. Gotta think it's still well over a 50/50 shot though, a big increase from yesterday. So did LAF finally get its 90*F high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
