bluewave Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 8 minutes ago, LongBeachSurfFreak said: Excellent video. Peak gusts look to be 80+. Does anyone have a radar loop of the event? The local NWS has the radar loop in their summary. Easily winds over 80 mph. You can also see that area was near where the peak gusts were in the 100 to 130 mph range. https://www.weather.gov/dvn/summary_081020 A powerful line of severe thunderstorms known as a "Derecho" tracked across eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois on the afternoon of Monday, August 10th producing widespread straight line wind damage. A swath of damage from Benton County, through portions of Linn, Jones, and Cedar Counties, is consistent with intermittent winds in the 110-130 mph range. A radio transmission tower north of Marion, Iowa in Linn County collapsed, due to straight line winds estimated around 130 mph. This speed would be equivalent to a strong EF2 tornado. The maximum measured wind gust was 112 mph at Midway, Iowa in Linn County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost looks like you are watching a RFQ of a major hurricane cross the Gulf or Southeast Coast. Watching this 30 minute video gives you an idea why the damage was so extreme. Frightening, BW. I’ve saved this and intend to pass it on. Is an event of this magnitude possible in our eastern metropolitan coastal areas. It looked like a summary execution by an angry atmosphere.

It’s especially scary when you or your property are at risk for getting hit by falling trees in such high winds. I believe the only comparable Derecho event in the Northeast was the Adirondack blowdown in July 1995. While the Labor Day Derecho in September 1998 was impressive here, the intensity and duration of the strongest winds wasn’t nearly as great. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerechos/casepages/jul1995derechopage.htm https://www.adirondackalmanack.com/2009/07/anniversary-of-the-great-adirondack-blowdown-of-1995.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty impressive for 100+mph sustained winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous record warmest July in Phoenix was 2009. wow diametrically opposite summers 2009 and 2020 lol How did they do in 1993? I'm curious because Death Valley's August temp records are from that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Latest Winter Outlook (DJF) as of (Aug. 20) from government, has AN as 1.6x more likely than BN around here. I think the summer was called 4.5x more likely to be AN, this far out---so a smaller hurdle to surmount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
