Nice Storm
Had a nice storm, actually two of 'em blow through here Monday morning.
Winds between 90-122 mph. Was an interesting time. Just got my power back on here about a half hour ago. dxAce Michigan USA |

Just got my power back at 6pm, this evening. Here is the archived radar for July 11: http://radblast-sf.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_composite_archive?centerlat=42.88145828&cen terlon=-85.53540039&radius=124&newmaps=1&type=N0R&type2=TR 0&num=24&SD.epoch=1310356800&ED.epoch=1310443199 The two storms here go through between 8-11 am EDT. You got the northern storm that I didn't. But that second one blew through my yard at about 8:05 am CDT. Went from nearly a clear blue sky to horizontal rain in about 7 minutes, with 75+mph winds. And then it was over in less than 10 minutes. There are still some areas of Lake County without power. Waukegan took the worst of it, before the storm took out across the Lake. That 90 miles was crossed in less than 45 minutes, according to reports I heard that day. And that red hook echo on the radar was the definitive evidence of a tornadic storm. We had reports in my neighborhood of a funnel, but no touch down. And WBBM reported that a funnel was seem crossing the airspace over the lake. The storm took down trees three feet in diameter in my neighborhood. Two of them are still down across powerlines, and some roads are still closed. Again, as so many times in the past, my house was spared any damage. Though I did have a few branches from other properties to clean up in the yard. Any serious damage where you are? Lots of trees down in the downtown area. Had a report of a waterspout out on Lake Macatawa just to the north of me, though I'm not sure which storm it was with. Had severe damage to the 138 kv line running near the power plant, and still have some streets closed downtown as of last evening. I was one of the "isolated outages" out here, as I had the drop broken along with the phone line from the pole to the house. We've got extra repair crews here from various areas including Indiana. The crew that repaired my line was from Hillsdale, MI. Yeah, they said that there were 900 work crews effecting repairs in Northern Illinois. I tend to doubt that figure. Although, by the time I was finally restored, they were down to wire-by-wire repairs in Lake County. The positive spin on this was that with so much power and digital service out, I did get some quiet SWL in after the storms had passed. |

Somebody, tell him to get real ... and the antenna isn't in another country, he just forgot where he laid it, like he does all the time with his glasses and false teeth ... Regards, JS |
