Fragile Bird Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) I saw a report on CNN from Boston about the torrential rain they had. I assume that was the same storm @Tyria. It looked biblical! Edited July 23, 2023 by Fragile Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 A week ago Thursday I was with my mother who was having joint replacement surgery and the area surrounding the hospital was on tornado warning twice while she was in recovery including announcements to shelter in place. Fun times! The first warning started while I was trying to find parking in a torrential downpour and my phones and car radio screeching. Very calming experience all around. https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/two-tornadoes-with-wind-speeds-of-155-km-h-touched-down-in-ottawa-on-thursday-1.6480997 JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked biblical! Yeah, it was something alright! Glad it wasn't a tornado though, yikes, Kair! We get hurricanes, which is bad enough, but I can't imagine a tornado, or even a warning for one . Glad you and your mom are ok! LongRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Milan, which doesn't have tornados, had one yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingintheNorth4 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It's gonna be the hottest week of the year here in the Chicago area. Zorral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hot and humid here in Michigan. Thankfully, we've had rain showers this summer which have helped the farmers - particularly CHERRY orchards! Am enjoying some as I write this. Nom-nom.

kairparavel Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 A slight funnel cloud formed over the Capitol today. Yeesh. @Tyria thank you. I cannot believe the terrible rains and now flooding out east. LongRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Wild thunderstorm here in Minneapolis and it's going to last for a bit. The rain is crazy when I opened the doors to look and lightening is popping off every few seconds. Weirdly there isn't much thunder. It's pretty cool to look at. ETA: Spoke too soon about the thunder. Now it's cracking. Edited July 26, 2023 by Tywin et al. LongRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Thunderstorms all yesterday. Temps dropped from mid-80's to 69-70° in a matter of an hour or so by mid-afternoon, though the humidity remained crazy. However, though that made for a very pleasant evening and night, by tomorrow we'll be close to 100 and over re Heat Index, while the AQI pushes into the red, throughout the weekend. Sigh. So much we were looking forward to this weekend, with outdoor music events and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Look out, East Coast. A rip roaring T-storm just whipped through the Midwest on its way to y'all. And, yeah, instead of the cooling that usually results from a summer storm, tomorrow will be even more hot and humid. And my mom and sister lost their power. Gotta go pick 'em up tomorrow.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Looking at the US weather: I miss the era when this kind of music was popping even if Nelly looked silly with that Band-Aid. I guess every decade's styles look stupid in retrospect until it's time for their period to become retro and back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Here it's a cooling trend with high's in the low 90s instead of low 100s. Yay! Forecast looks good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does 'cooling trend' and '90's' belong in the same sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when for the past thirteen days the high temp has been about 103 to 113f each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyria Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Got a text alert that more severe thunderstorms on the way tonight. Possibly more on Saturday. I feel for all the people still dealing with last week's flooding, washed out roads/bridges, and cleanup. Starting to get a bit worried as the ground is so saturated that we might get some basement flooding. The neighbours on either side of us have sump pumps, which I think has saved us in the past. We have always had a perfectly dry basement, and I hope it stays that way! We often refer to the province as North America's exhaust pipe, because the gulf stream and jet stream just poop everything our way before it moves out the ocean. Usually less severe when it gets here, but shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 And yet ANOTHER strong T-storm went ripping through SE Michigan. Knocked our power off then back on and sent my dog cowering under me. Now it's sunny out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingintheNorth4 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I woke up to a loud rumble of thunder. It's the hottest day of the year so far. Right now, it's 93 degrees with a heat index of 112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Sweltering hot….dress weather where I live. I don’t even want to sunbathe because it’s too hot so I’m using the lightest shade in foundation and concealer still even though it’s like 103 degrees. Like a just porcelain/ivory as in the shades I use for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaP Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 It is wiritjiribin season in Darug country in New South Wales and unusually warm. @karaddin, if you've visited it I don't know, but the Wiseman Ferry Inn is gorgeous and has vegetarian options that makes me and the missus happy. And the views are ::chef's kiss::. But it is unusually warm for this time of year, which is concerning, as that means burran* (summer) is really gonna suck. *There are actually six seasons in NSW. The four season European concept really doesn't suit the land and its seasonal variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Rain rain rain. On the upside, I will take the 22C any day over 32C. On the downside, this was the one day I had plans to have a lakeside beach day. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
