MN Transplant Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This weather is great. ~7.4", wettest month since June 2015. Only 3 90° days. Anything that shortens summer around here is a huge win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a tornado come right in front of my house this evening. Craziest wind I have ever felt in my life. It actually chased me into the house. And I NEVER go inside during a good T-storm. A few uprooted trees, busted windows and missing screens. But no major damage. A neighbor 2 streets over caught a pic of it while it was over my neighbors house across the street. My first tornado. It was AWESOME! I wanna believe its a tornado, but with the house in the way, no real way to know for sure. Either way, great picture and glad everyone is okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at my rain gage this morning and with the persistent drizzle and a light shower, my total sits at exactly 8.00" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly biased because one of the things I hate most in the world is watering. All that effort (energy, chemicals, money) that goes into making the water potable, and we just end up dumping it on the ground. My wife, on the other hand, would like to cover our whole yard in gardens and water them continuously from March to October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, great picture and glad everyone is okay Yeah. Like I said I couldnt see anything. Just a wall of water with quarter size hail mixed in and trees basically laying sideways. There is supposed to be someone from NWS out here today to assess. But I think it had to be a tornado. I saw trees this morning, that I couldnt wrap my arms around, and their trunks are twisted and broken off about 5 feet off of the ground. The trunks are twisted not just snapped off. Their are also numerous trees derooted and blown over. I will try to snap some pics tonight. If it was a tornado it definitely wasnt a big one. There is only a 50 yard wide path of damage. After it went through my neighborhood it hit a mobile home park across the street from me. That is where the news people are reporting from this morning. Regardless. It was one of the most intense weather moments of my life for sure. Watching a 25 foot tree get derooted and thrown to the ground is quite a site to see.

Stormpc Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 8.85 for May at my house. My stone patio is growing fuzzy moss at the edges. A first after living in this house for 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The last few days have only produced a total of about 0.15 as most cells have missed (some within a couple miles), but I have managed 5.05 for the month which is real good for Germandesert. I'm sure any time now we will get into mid-summer form with missing storms in every direction and me having to water parched gardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Looking at Weather Bell and Ryan Maue's twitter postings... looks like the first two weeks of June will have normal to below normal temperatures... doesn't look like we will see any real heat for at least the next two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWC Split Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This wave of storms is certainly going to put me up over 10 inches for the month in Haymarket.

RandyHolt Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I had ~1/8" hail with that nice little storm. It brought down a few 1" dead branches. Peak winds lasted about a minute. The tykes first storm observed from outside on the porch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 May 2017 had 7.99" IMBY, with 17 of 31 days having measurable rainfall. May 2016 had 12.81", with 21 of 31 days having measurable rainfall. May 2018 better be the driest ever with clear skies, highs in the 70's and dewpoints of -5,000, or I'll be angry.

North Balti Zen Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 And yet, Memorial Day weekend was still pretty ruined weather wise for us in the north. And has been ****ty for awhile. It's okay to give those obs. Maybe without being called names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
