Expand Still a delta Velocity of 90mph. Nice looking couplet still. Taking a jog wide right of Salamanca proper. Looks like it’s crossing over 86 now heading into Allegany State Park. Campers better lookout! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 My next door neighbor is a huge storm chaser. Goes out to the plains and chases. We went together and she got this picture of me. I'm in love. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely miserable experience that makes me appreciate my dry basement.

BuffaloWeather Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 I actually think there were 3 tornadoes yesterday. One near lakeshore in Portland, one near Mayville, and another near Randolph/Salamanca. Than there is that one funnel near Collins as well.

Expand When I moved into my house my home inspector told me I needed to replace my sump pump relatively soon. 3 weeks after we moved in the sump pump shut down and the basement flooded with about 1" of water. I called a friend and we rushed to Lowes and bought a new one and was able to replace it while the basement was flooded. No issues since aside from last week when the power went out. I need a backup sump pump and a generator for the situations for when the power goes out and we get lots of rain or my 1st pump ever fails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I’ve been in my house for 25 years and when there’s a normal amount of rain the sump pump runs continuously. I’ve had probably 5 or 6 floods in my basement, most were not caused by pump failure but by defective switches in the float. After the last flood 3 years ago that left 4-5 inches of water we decided enough was enough and installed a backup pump that runs off of our municipal water supply. The only time we had to use it is when our primary pump failed and it took almost a day to replace. The backup did a good job keeping our basement dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, that MCS over MI/Lake Huron is chugging along. Looks like a solid cloud deck out ahead of it is approaching WNY though. Will be interesting to see how well that complex holds together over the next few hours. Wonder if temps, at least in WNY, are held down today with the incoming clouds.

Has a nice linear shape to it but velocity shoes no winds above 40mph. I’ll gladly take the rain but a little bit of a letdown from a severe perspective.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Ehh kind of a miss on forecasting that line to roll through like it did. First softball game of the year and the girls only got 2 innings in. On a side note trying to explain to non weather people that the sky is about to unload is a daunting task. On another side note... I was the only parent who made it to the car with a dry shirt. Can’t say I didn’t try to warn them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sitting here completely baffled as to what the hell is going on. There wasnt a single model that showed any of these prefrontal storms or rain until 8pm or later tonight yet. Very bizarre. And does that mean we still get the MCS squall line later too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
