cyclone77 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 DVN going to cyclone's hood Saw some decent tree damage on the way to work this morning. A large tree along route 92 was completely uprooted. Made a brief radar loop of the two EF-1 tors. The Geneseo circulation passed very close to this area. Luckily these things were pretty brief.

Powerball Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 At least the "rain" overachieved. 0.06" as of the 5pm newcast. Still under moderate drought conditions per the latest monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Crib is always good for big gusts Wow nice! Have some high winds going on here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 About 45mph was the highest wind gust here. Winds have kicked up a bit in the last hour again. Ended over the white line a few times on the way home. Saw three power poles snapped about 3-4 feet above the ground near the state line. Lines are still attached, but hanging precariously close to the roadway. Saw this picture on Skilling's page just now - from last night.

Jonbo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 This image is getting passed around locally about obs at the DSM airport yesterday. Comparing the time the tornado started to my pictures and location, seems like it was the same one that hit the airport. Haven't seen a full tornado in person yet but this is the closest I've gotten. Also got some video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Gusts have hit 53 here so far. Luckily I have power Toledo Express Airport: top two listed peak wind gusts were 46kt (53mph) at 1654z and 43kt (49mph) at 1818z KTOL 121852Z PK WND 24043/1818 KTOL 121752Z PK WND 23046/1654 Toledo Executive Airport, peak wind gust was 42kt (48mph) at 1843z KTDZ 121853Z PK WND 24042/1843 Findlay Airport, 46 knots (53mph) at 1453z KFDY 121453Z PK WND 26046/1437 Local storm reports from NW Ohio: 60mph non-thunderstorm gust near Van Wert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Regarding the Des Moines thing, it made me wonder how many times has a METAR actually reported a tornado and snow in the same day. Surely the two weather events happen every so often but to actually get it on an official ob has to be highly unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Took this pic of some angry looking November clouds this morning. Peak gust at DTW was 52 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Nice funnel cloud capture Jonbo. Seen ones like this before. Top wind gust in the area; late last night, 66mph at Waukegan Harbor.

Chicago Storm Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Winds have picked up again the past few hours, gusting to near 40mph now with the second push of CAA. Guidance suggests borderline wind advisory criteria winds through about mid-day tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Make that 71mph at the H-D Crib. Didn't think to look at that site. Almost hurricane force. ORD just gusted to 39mph. 46mph at the Crib at 10:13pm. 37mph at Edgewater Beach by Alek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Peak gust of 46mph here (at YKF). Max sustained wind was 32mph. Fun to listen to the trees howl (went for a wind walk) but pretty run of the mill for November more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Lots of lakeshore flooding in this area. Quite a few road closures.

cyclone77 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Very impressive storm system this turned out to be. Was a fun one to track, and delivered the goods in all facets. Probably some of the most exciting weather of the entire year for this immediate area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Posted this around midnight the night before the event earlier on in this thread. Pretty astounding to see the main areas that were hardest impacted by severe only 14-18hrs later were still well north of the main moisture axis. Most of Iowa was in the midst of a rather cool, almost winter-like night, and less than 18hrs later had developed conditions that were able to support nearly a dozen tornadoes.

Makes you wonder how forecasters, say, 100 years ago would've done with the forecast...how well would they have anticipated something like what happened. People bash the models, and they are annoying when they flip flop and have wildly varying solutions, but there's such a big advantage nowadays.

Hoosier Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Filtered reports. Extremely impressive considering the lack of instability. Extreme dynamics made up for what would normally be considered laughable instability. Here's how this one compares to the one that occurred almost 10 years earlier to the day, November 12, 2005. We may fall short in terms of number of tornadoes (though surveys still ongoing), and 2005 had 4 strong tornadoes, but yesterday's wind event was much better compared to 2005. 2005 did have more activity farther south in MO/AR, which this one did not.

ClicheVortex2014 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 From a TV Meteorologist in Kansas City; Gary Lezak: Some observations from Des Moines airport. The airport itself recorded a tornado at 2130z, or 3:30PM (15:30) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/11/12/des-moines-airport-records-a-tornado-and-snow-six-hours-apart-on-wednesday/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowcaine Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Had a brief gust of 40 knots around midnight, but otherwise was a 20 knots gusting to 30 kind of event. Although wasn't expecting much for Toronto, was hopeful for better. Oh well, onto the next one! System was still a beauty to watch on the radar/sat.

Jackstraw Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 What Cheer? Pretty odd town name. Lol, wonder if it's a town of pessimists. I used to live in Gnaw Bone Indiana. Had some decent gusts here, maybe 45 - 50. The old house creaked a few times, not as bad as I had expected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Cheer,_Iowa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnaw_Bone,_Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgwx Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I believe all of the tornado surveys have been completed. If I've added them up correctly there were 15 tornadoes including 2 EF2s. There were over 140 wind reports. That's a lot of tornadoes for only having a 5% tornado risk area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 All 15 coming from DMX/DVN. Nice localized outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
