Are there any serious flooding issues? I drove through some of those areas during the height of the heavy rain yesterday on my way home, and there was many flooded roads and I almost spun out a few times. Lots of field and low lying yard flooding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 20 hours ago, IWXwx said: There should be multiple tornado confirmations. The thing was still spinning when it got up here and IWX issued multiple tornado warnings. I saw three funnels drop, but not touch down. By the time it got here, it was too dark to get any video or pictures. And there was NO lightning for backlighting. Latest IND update: "Preliminary tornado count for Monday Aug. 15 is 7, pending quality control of survey data. 3 EF0, 3 EF1, 1 EF2." Amazing length and duration from one lone cell. Although several witnesses (including myself) reported strong rotation when it got into IWX's area, there have been no confirmed touchdowns up here.

IWXwx Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 No, they will not release any details until they complete quality control. Should know tomorrow. I'm speculating it was in the Brownsburg area. I saw some damage pictures from that area that were fairly significant. I also should correct my post. At least one of the EF-0's was from a separate storm (the one near LAF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would correlate with the videos I have seen on twitter where the tornado did look the strongest with some debris being lofted in the air.

stormtrackertf Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Meteorologist Chris Edwards (From WXYZ) posted this on Facebook. That is crazy, but not surprising. Quote As of 6am today, Detroit (as measured at Metro Airport in Romulus) has received more rain in the last 4 days (3.51") than we had gotten in almost three full months prior to that. From May 15 until August 12, we only had a total of 3.25", putting us in a drought condition. Unfortunately, it was too much of a good thing too fast, so flooding is impacting many parts of the metro area this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to get in touch with IWX if you haven't already. Were you able to tell if it was on the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already had this discussion with IWX after I sent them a video from the Swayzee Police Dept. The county line is 2 miles west of town and it has been determined that the tornado was actually (barely) in Howard County (IND). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 On 8/9/2016 at 2:48 PM, snowlover2 said: From now until Friday there's the possibility slow moving torrential rain makers causing flash flooding especially IN/OH which is why the early start date. By the weekend it's looking like a more widespread heavy rain event across the southern half of IL and especially IN/OH. WPC QPF says it all. Compare/contrast this with the final precip analysis (4km radar/rain gauge data) for Ohio shows some sections over 2.5" for the week, but generally less than 4". Toledo got 2.07" in the time frame of Aug 11-17, so that is not too bad. Toward the end of this, there were high rain amounts near South Bend and Kalamazoo that were never directly indicated on the WPC map. That's pretty standard for a 7-day forecast- it missed some locations of the heavy rain, that's why they sort of broad-brush it. WPC put in 9.9" at New Orleans there... which might have been helpful alerting people as to some flood danger. I saw on CoCoRAHS plots, there was 25" in two days in East Baton Rouge Parish LA (oh my gosh). I hope they are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
