Chicago Storm Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 The COC is holding together fairly well, and actually looks better than it did when it made landfall. There has also been widespread high winds/damage near the COC. Tupelo, MS gusted to 71MPH a bit earlier. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 @ Hoosier Bingo! The September 25, 1941 Wind Storm – This was actually the remnants of a Hurricane that had made landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast on the 23rd. The storm raced into the Great Lakes region and merged with a cold front, leading to an intense wind storm. Wind gusts up to 75 MPH hammered southeast Michigan for several hours and led to extensive damages. This is the only record of the remnants of a hurricane moving into Michigan and actually producing hurricane force winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Long track of high winds and wind damage along the track of the COC of Olga. Still not sure why things are being treated as severe t’storms though. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a duration perspective, the situation is more in line with severe thunderstorms... in and out. Usually wind advisories/high wind warnings are issued for something that lasts at least a bit longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winds/waves on Lake Michigan were tremendous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Really dumping outside. Some streets have a lot of standing water for the amount of rain that has fallen. Think the sewers might be blocked with leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been higher leaf drop here today with the rain, so I’m sure that is definitely playing a roll. Especially since we’re only sitting at just over 1” here. .

cyclone77 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Decent little rain event here on the western edge. Picked up 0.65" so far. If this were a winter event we would have just sneaked into a warning criteria event. Winds have been pretty tame here (especially compared to last Mon/Tue lol). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
