RCNYILWX Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah just noticed that too. Pretty good couplet. Thankfully looks like it weakened after what appeared to be the RFD surging out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well I'll be the first to admit I kind of thought this threat was down and out to an extent upon seeing the effect of that morning MCS. However, the wind fields with this system remained very impressive and combined with very rich moisture lead to quite the event this evening with several destructive tornadoes it appears. Kudos to cyclone in particular with the pre-event analysis. The following phrase was going through my mind last night and seems to be kicking in here; "anomalous setups lead to anomalous results". I'm pretty sure most events would be down for the count following morning convection as extensive as this was, but the strength of this trough overcame that.

Indystorm Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Helicities are still high in the affected areas. I always have concern when there is convection and high helicity. Hate to think what might have happened had we not had the MCS earlier given what we've seen this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanDe680 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Between the wind, rain and the tornadoes, this is a mess for the southern suburbs. If you call this a non-event, that's crazy. Good luck to those out there - it looks bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Didn't have a chance to post earlier because I was too busy but Tony and I were very concerned despite the mixed signals at that point. After what just happened this evening, I wish things didn't work out. Very unsettling when Gino went live on weather radio around when the tornado crossed I-55 near Braidwood. Also one of my coworkers is from Mendota and his family still lives there which was also hit by a tornado. Sickened to hear about people trapped in buildings and campers. Will be back at the office in the morning to either survey or coordinate info coming back from the surveys. This is going to end up being a challenging process for the survey teams since it appears we had several tornadoes from Western Lee County all the way to Kankakee County.

stormtrackertf Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Very loud thunder here, still 35 miles out from the leading edge of the line of storms. A true sign that these are the real deal. A lot of Coal City is destroyed with people still trapped as we speak and you're whining? Sometimes severe weenies are the worst, and this is coming from one.. Not only that but about 40 miles east of him there was a confirmed tornado that touched down. Even in the biggest outbreaks there isn't going to be 100% coverage of extreme stuff.

jojo762 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Not sure if this is the right thread for this... But just for laughs this is a 00Z 4KM NAM sounding for Wednesday at 7pm in S IA. Doesn't seem to be convectively disrupted either, since there is a lack of anything in this area at 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably should be doing flood surveys now too, but it's just been such a taxing month on the office with short staffing and some on vacation. Pretty much May for the southern Plains shifted up here. Tomorrow will be my 8th day in a row working, 5 or 6 of which I had OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just picked this off of the WGN weather center page. Video of a mall wall/roof collapse in Sterling. http://wgntv.com/2015/06/22/video-damage-to-mall-in-sterling/ Authorities say high winds have caused heavy damage in Coal City, a community of about 5,000 residents south of Chicago. Lt. David Doerfler of the Coal City Fire Protection District said late Monday that in addition to structural damage, roads in the city have been blocked by fallen trees and power lines. He says there have been no confirmed reports of injuries. The National Weather Service reports high winds have also caused damage near the Lee County community of Sublette.-Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanDe680 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ugh. In Lee and LaSalle counties west of the Chicago suburbs, people reported damage to buildings, marble-sized hail and near-zero visibility as the storm passed. A mass-casualty event call for mutual aid was made near Amboy and Sublette for reports of people in the Woodhaven Lakes campground trapped in overturned trailers along U.S. 30. Rescue work will continue well into the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
