Those 13 and 17 year cicadas are pretty cool. Apparently some people like to eat them too lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 They are one freaky amazing creature the more you research them, especially the documented "Broods". And they can be infected with magic mushrooms containing psilocybin so of course they're a delicacy lol. Like i said freaky stuff. Back on topic, think there's a summer version of Michsnowfreaks magnet turned on in reverse for rain around here. These storms are literally curving right around me. Still 80/71 and 68 10 miles to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Storms were kind of impressive last night. Much stronger than I anticipated. We picked up 1.5" of rain, and some basement seepage last night. Hoping for better today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Well it was an eventful night. Went to a local fireworks show and on the way back got rear ended. Was at a red light and quickly heard waht sounded like screeching tires. As soon as I heard the sound is when the car hit. There was no time to look or panic or do anything, it just seemed like it happened. It was so fast. I am at the hospital. I am having pain and just not feeling right. Here are a couple of pics from the fireworks. It was a good night and then the crash. Things happen fast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 We could use some rain. I've only received 0.10" this month. The models don't look great for Iowa over the next 7-10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Guess it expired at 8pm Not at work today, but there was a flash flood warning in effect for Madison Co due to parts of the county getting >2" in less than hour. Warnings often cover larger areas due to anticipated storm movement, so it could've weakened or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Picked up 0.16" from a brief downpour a little while ago. Was fun watching the tower building up right overhead. EDIT: Downpouring again. 0.25" and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Watching of the visual satellite images of the morning convection putting out the boundaries when they collapsed, and them the early evening stuff exploding on those boundaries was cool as heck. Only got 0.01 here though. Could use a bit more. I must be crazy for asking for a little more rain but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing scarier when you don't see it coming. Even though it was almost 30 years ago for me, I still sit back in the seat and put my head against the head rest when I stop at an intersection. The wife thought for a time I was getting ready to hit the gas like a drag racer. Nope. Nothing scarier that getting rear ended. Hope all's well!

Indystorm Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Sorry to learn of your accident, Hoosier and hope you get well soon. I was at Highland with relatives July 3 until I came back Sat. July 6th and just saw your post. Meanwhile, you don't see something like this very often from the NHC so I thought I would post it. ZCZC MIATWOAT ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Sat Jul 6 2019 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 1. A trough of low pressure over western Kentucky, Tennessee and northern Mississippi is forecast to move southward toward the northeastern Gulf of Mexico where a low pressure area could form in a few days. Some gradual development of this system is then possible while it meanders near the northern Gulf Coast through the middle of next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Jackstraw Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 June and July homegrown systems along stalled fronts or strong MCS's down in the gulf or off the SE coast aren't uncommon but I agree, an NHC forecast like that is uncommon. I'm not even seeing much model support for anything significant. Might be the fact that anything that may form is going to tend to linger with no strong steering over the next 5-7 days and could pose a copious rain producer. Edit: Now I see what you were saying. Don't think I've ever seen a potential tropical system mark over Tennessee lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
