It’s most likely a wind/MCS scenario so doubtful. But there will be pretty insane hail and maybe a few tornadoes before everything merges.
Can someone tell me what is happening in Atlanta?. Had an early morning flight from LA to ATL and I just woke and we’re in New Orleans refueling because I guess ATL airport is closed due to weather. Thanks.
Driving up 281 on the E side of that. Nws still says only 40% chance before late tonight. I really hope that is right
Yup. Couple hours south of Jamestown. Guess I’ll be making a decision to either stay there or drive the other 2 hours
Got hammered by one of these storms right as I was leaving the house to go get my dog from the vet. That was some intense ass lightning.
Well, that was an interesting night. That thing has some wicked rotation. Had it hit a bigger town... We'll survey it in the morning
Busiest severe day of the year in terms of overall number of reports Likely derecho with all of those wind reports in the SE US
Prelim ef3 Lots more to do through. I have little doubt had this hit a more densely populated area we'd be talking ef4
Guessing the wind event in ND didn’t qualify? Apparently it got pretty bad. Fireworks tent in the Walmart parking lot got supremely fucked up, looked like some trees were down too.
This derecho seriously fucked some stuff up. I work in the tallest building in downtown Birmingham and you could hear the building moving/creaking when it came through. Bunch of people didn't have power for 24 hours. Normally with a line of storms we get a pretty good initial gust and then it tapers off. This was sustained 50mph plus for at least 15 minutes. Spent the better part of today cleaning leaves and branches from my yard
Here's the latest on the ef3. We likely had at least one or 2 more the following day in the hills. Seems like only tree damage so surveys may be done later Spoiler NOUS43 KUNR 301659 PNSUNR SDZ001-010500- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Rapid City SD 1059 AM MDT Sat Jun 30 2018 ...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR 6/28/2018 TORNADO SOUTH OF CAMP CROOK... On the evening of June 28, 2018, a tornadic supercell crossed the state line from MT into SD, producing a strong tornado over western portions of Harding County. The tornado crossed the MT/SD state line near Forty-eight Mile Creek around 8:20 PM based upon video evidence and eyewitness reports. It traveled northeastward, crossing South Camp Crook Road before dissipating near Sagebrush Draw at 8:28 PM. West of Camp Crook Road, the tornado produced considerable tree and structural damage, including debarking of some trees, collapse of exterior walls of a home, and complete destruction of some outbuildings. Based on this damage, winds were estimated at 136 mph. The tornado also lofted and destroyed some farm machinery, including a 5-ton tractor that has yet to be found. As the tornado crossed Camp Crook Road, several hundred yards of fence were either flattened or littered with debris, and widespread sagebrush destruction was observed. East of Camp Crook Road near Hawk Creek, a large farm outbuilding was destroyed, and its foundation was extracted from the ground and broken apart. A tractor tire found on this property may have been part of the tractor lost approximately two miles to the west. While much of the damage was consistent with an EF-1 or EF-2 tornado, the most significant damage on either side of Camp Crook Road was consistent with an EF-3 tornado.
