We just enjoyed that storm. Now we don't have power. Tomorrow I get to chainsaw up the tree that fell over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted August 10, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 10, 2020 Its a bad one. When it came through here it brought us high winds, lighting and four inches of rain. I needed to reinstall the sump pump drain pipe again. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted August 11, 2020 Share #10 Posted August 11, 2020 Did @Rumble_Strip make it? That was a pretty impressive radar screen, a derecho complete with a bow echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weather station only measured a top wind speed of 27 mph. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted August 11, 2020 Share #13 Posted August 11, 2020 Looks like Chicago didn't fare as well. Somewhere out there are 1 million people without power............and a few without cars as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weather station only measured a top wind speed of 27 mph. Our sky got real dark and the wind kicked up to about 50mph for maybe a minute. Then we got some rain and it was over. The evening sky after the rain was gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
