Hoosier Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The DAT shows the Pontiac path in a less residential area, for the most part. Would've had more damage had it gone a bit farther north into the more residential part of Pontiac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcmh81 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 For a widespread moderate risk, it was a let down outside of a few areas. Very little actual severe weather in either Indiana or Ohio. I think heavy rain may have been the biggest news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 This is one of the more impressive pics I've seen of the damage from that monster wind producer. I'm not sure what this building was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think heavy rain may have been the biggest news. I've seen more lackluster than this in moderate risks I think part of it was that it was a struggle to get a large, well developed line. Mostly had smaller scale lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanDe680 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I am more surprised how far into the night this lasted - so many storms lose their punch after the diurnal heating is gone for the day but not in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I think part of it was that it was a struggle to get a large, well developed line. Mostly had smaller scale lines. That's my thought too. It didn't become a large line as expected. At least it seems the models fared well in showing a few large supercells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I've seen more lackluster than this in moderate risks yesterday_filtered.gif.png I think part of it was that it was a struggle to get a large, well developed line. Mostly had smaller scale lines. You can add another red dot to that map as we have a confirmed tornado in Huntington County. Details forthcoming after IWX issues their PNS, but I will say it appears to have been multi vortex in a least one location. Very impressive damage and no injuries. Spent four hours with NWS doing the survey. Pictures later after I have a shower, eat, and a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Cissna Park tornado was officially rated an EF-1 with estimated winds of 110MPH, and a 3 mile long path. When I was following that storm last night, I was thinking about my brothers co worker who lives there, who just rebuilt his home last year due to a fire, luckily no damage to his property last night.

Mostly had smaller scale lines. Yeah I think this is a decent event, maybe underwhelming with the widespread winds but still pretty strong localized event.

buckeye Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Other than very localized, the wind situation here wasn't bad at all. It's noteworthy because that was the main headline leading up to this event. The likelihood of widespread wind damage. One forecaster here on the 6:00 news last evening had wind as the biggest threat and flooding as minimal. It seemed to be the opposite as lots of places got 3-4" of rain and lots of significant street flooding. On another note, a tornado was confirmed in Fayette county just to our south here in central OH, so that storm report map above is not quite up to date.

Powerball Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 hahaha same in humboldt. probably had some gusts near 30KT last night. these were definitely prolific lightning and rain producers. Much better than I've had the past few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just a couple of the 88 pics I took of the Huntington tornadoes between last night and today (first one is of me in action lol): williams.jpg That is really wild to see that doorway intact and basically the rest of the structure gone. I guess in this instance getting confused on earthquake and tornado responses would have been in someone's favor, this once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Up to 9 tornadoes in LOT now but they mention that more may be added.At least a few and possibly more than that will be added. I was on the survey from Lee County across northern LaSalle County (West Brooklyn to Sheridan area) and the Earlville area was insanely complex on the ground to decipher tornado damage vs RFD and if there was any overlap. We'll be confirming at least 1 tornado path and probably 2 there. We'll also be looking at aerial photos tomorrow, which will probably result in our preliminary findings being adjusted and potentially several more tornado paths that were not investigated by ground survey.

Thanks for the info. In some ways (numbers, general zone of tornadoes, etc) last night was eerily reminiscent of June 22 of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
