I’m in Ithaca for this one, west side of Cayuga in my camper...which is interesting.  We just missed some action to the east, around 2 pm, now it’s very breezy with partly sunny skies, 85. DK humidity but it’s sticky.  Watching the line of storms to our northwest and we are in a tornado watch.  3k Nam seems to have the stronger cells to our west later, while the hrrr brings some strong cells overhead.  NWS says western Great Lakes for the most severe, so that’s in line with 3k nam.

Anyone notice how Laura kind of ended up being a non event relatively speaking?  Pretty fascinating.    I think the Derecho did more damage than Laura.  Definitely lucked out on where it hit and its forward speed was important in limiting flooding and overall damage.  I'm really not seeing much in terms of catastrophic damage.

Yeah, I noticed that. Seemed the strongest winds in the eye wall were verrrry confined. Not widespread horrible winds. Storm surge not nearly as bad as predicted. Watching the Mets spread all over, it seemed pretty "meh" with the typical gusts. Obs for Shreveport and Little Rock didn't look anywhere close to what their advanced models showed. She petered out pretty quickly by the time she hit Arkansas.

This is where it can be tough for media meteorology. You can be extremely cautious and give thorough warnings, with it ending up not as bad....or downplay it and then have big issues when bad things happen. Being overly cautious brings in higher ratings though...so that seems like more of a win-win for them.

Still a lot of work to repair things, I am sure....and grieving for the several families who lost somebody.

I thought it almost lived up to its strength. 30 miles inland recorded gusts of over 135 Mph in Lake Charles. It was a "non event" because of where it hit. If you look at google maps, its all marshland. Its like a hurricane hitting the everglades. It would cause very little damage.
