KamuSnow Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 That was pretty impressive looking on the approach! Wind was strong here, lost power, a small tree snapped in half, and a bunch of branches down. Also got about 3/4" of rain with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Moderate rain with a bit of neon pick lightning left over. Picked up 1.05" total storm total here in Media 2.10" including last night. Winds were easily 60-70 mph here and we had some dime size hail. Took a ride between here and Springfield power was still on for all some trees down and branches call it minor damage in this part of Delaware County. I am sure the damage will be higher in other parts. I would definitely classify that storm as severe with the 60-70 mph and dime size hail. Pretty quick rise on Crum Creek too here.

Kevin Reilly Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Wow that radar is one of the most impressive radar displays I have seen in years. That meso low and the line associated is racing towards the Jersey shore. I had my doubts it would make it further east and northeast. Wrong!!

The Iceman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Not too bad here, maybe 35-40 mph winds tops. Heavy rain was the main feature. Thankful to be honest, really didn’t feel like messing with the generator tonight. Impressive temp drop behind the storm down to 70F. Feels great outside now.

Albedoman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 On 8/6/2023 at 10:00 AM, Albedoman said: the straight line wind damage is a real big threat more than tornadoes. Would not be surprised that many tornado warnings could be simply issued for rotation on radar echos when in realty they are simple straight line wind damage paths. Yesterday in Tn , reversing gust fronts happened. Talk about rare for straight line wind damage paths. Hail damage maybe a concern as updrafts become very severe too. yep, straight line wind damage was the only threat. Dime to quarter size hail reported in our area too. Had branches down around my house- nothing too big. 50-60 mph winds for sure. 1.15 in the rain bucket- happy about that. Simple squall line no real training. Another t-storm line out west of Harrisburg- wondering if will make it here before 3 am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Mom reports from Oxford: "So a massive tree is down where 896 intersects with 841 there is no power from Jennersville to at least Hockessin wires are down on 89" We only got about another 2/3" up here and some pretty gusty winds. We're at nearly 1" for the entire day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
