StudentOfClimatology Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Even the corn dust could not eat that up. I am not sure what happened here. I went outside an it was pouring and I could hear what I can only call a swirling or whirling noise-not a rumble. The trees did not do anything and it was not windy but instant rain let up the noise ended. A lot of city lights here shining on the underside of the storm. I looked up and could see sheets of rain about 1,000ft aloft being blown horizontally at 60-70mph, easy...pretty clear that the surface inversion kept those winds from mixing down. One of the most unique things I've ever seen. Could literally see where the winds were just hitting a wall...above the inversion it was just screaming.

Then I might have heard it from up that high? I really was just breezy at the surface, 10-15mph but absolutely pouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, I don't know much about the acoustics of this stuff. But yeah I went to the door because my gf said she heard a roar. I didn't hear it personally but clearly saw the sheets of rain flying across the sky just above the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Storms down here are actually rotating quite a bit. Tornado warning not too far off to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Got my 10 year old daughter up and are watching the lunar eclipse from our bedroom window. Advantage of a 3 level town home that is just above the tree line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Checking it out up here too - nice that it cleared out enough to see it! Yes! Also got the 8 year old up will pay for that later. We have a beautiful shot of it out of the bathroom window. We have two kids who love science and are in awe of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thunderstorm last night, blood moon this morning (although, to me, its color was more akin to that of a copper penny; maybe that's just a function of the ambient city light). At least my dog didn't turn into a werewolf. My daughter had no interest in going on and getting out of bed -- but when she comes home from school today after hearing about it in science class, she'll probably lambaste me for not getting her up this morning. I can't remember the last eclipse I saw; it's been a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Had some pretty hefty wind around midnight with the second line of storms. Lots of leaves and small branches all over the yard this morning. Picked up a half inch of rain total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 .2" from last night's rain. Some of the best thunder all year...in Oct. Also the lunar eclipse was fun to watch this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Only around .2" here from the rain last night I want a solar eclipse. August 21, 2017. Total solar eclipse. http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/solar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 A hair over 0.4" total yesterday. It was coming down in sheets for a bit, with plenty of thunder and lightning (no wind) last night.

So you could see the rain 1000' up at night, and gauge the wind speed based on the movement of the raindrops? That's pretty impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty impressive! It was pretty easy ob w/ the city lights illuminating the precip shield. You could literally see where the wind was hitting a brick wall.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I want a solar eclipse. The west coast gets a partial eclipse Oct. 23. East coast gets a full one on Aug. 21, 2017. Last night's storm was impressive IMBY- 1.1 inches of rain in my rain gauge and a lot of lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 No. They would just skip the travel day. Game 2 would be Sunday and 3 would still be Monday in KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never postpone a playoff, I found out- they'll just delay it for hours and hours. I was at ALDS #1 in 2012 when we had a record lowest max and rain all day... they delayed it for hours until it was "dry" enough to play. Terrible weather for a game and it still pisses me off that they didn't just postpone it to another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
