But the lightning was the most intense show I have ever seen. There was 3-4 minute period of just blast after blast right on top . It was almost non stop . Sirens are everywhere and the smell of wood is in the air . That was awesome man 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the one in Atlanta during the SEC championship basketball semifinals a dozen or so years ago? There was also a massive tornado that blew through North Dallas in 2019 while I was living there, though it didn’t hit the CBD. https://www.weather.gov/fwd/tornadoes-october2019 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ajc.com/sports/college/recalling-the-tornado-2008-sec-tournament/AYY5lYigBSdqdzWeI7jeFM/%3foutputType=amp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there’s big dews and cape.. they almost always blow up as they move over the valley and hit the hills . It happens very often . The setup has to be right , but you can almost predict it to some degree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoalaBeer Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 34 minutes ago, DavisStraight said: I was thinking of a congested city with high rises and office buildings. SLC is probably the best example like PowderBeard said. But if your looking for an actual violent tornado cutting through the heart of a major downtown area with high rises etc. we don’t have that on the record books as far as I’m aware of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 There were more damaging wind reports outside of the marginal area then there were inside (Not a knock on SPC...just funny how that works sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Pretty good storm locally, fairly gusty, a few trees down a mile or so north of here, extremely close lightning strikes, a bit of hail. Lost power a couple of times briefly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just catching up. Nice disco, @weatherwiz. Tomorrow looks active. Did you see some of the 3km NAM DCAPE numbers around here? The BOX discussion was pretty good, albeit short. Potential for a higher end day if things line up. I would not be surprised at all to see the ENH pushed a little further south into northern CT. Let's see what the landscape looks like tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
