 | Good Morning Everyone!  |
Hail, lightning, severe winds and tornadoes. It has been rough all over the country! Minnesota and Wisconsin have been in the path of this stuff over the past several weeks. Northwestern Minnesota has been under the gun almost continuously over the past week. Kenny! I'd like to hear from you (if you're still there)!
Ever heard of a derecho?
Ever heard of a derecho?
 A shelf cloud along the leading edge of a derecho photographed in Minnesota | A derecho (/dəˈreɪtʃoʊ/, from Spanish: derecho [deˈɾetʃo], "straight" as in direction) is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms known as a mesoscale convective system[1] and potentially rivaling hurricanic and tornadic forces. Derechos move rapidly in the direction of movement of their associated storms, similar to an outflow |
boundary (gust front), except that the wind remains sustained for a greater period of time (often increasing in strength after onset), and may exceed hurricane-force. A derecho-producing convective system may remain active for many hours and, occasionally, over multiple days.
Just had a derecho last week. Started in Kansas and traveled 750 miles on the ground through Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. Cedar Rapids was one of the hardest hit areas in the state. At least 1,627 properties were damaged, and more than 1,000 homes are now "unlivable," CBS affiliate KGAN reported.2
Can we blame this severe weather on "global warming"? Personally, I think we can! Oh yea! It was 101 degrees in Siberia last week and I believe Phoenix has had over 30 consecutive days over 110 degrees. (that's OK . . . it's dry heat)!
Ever heard of a "Firenado"? Well, maybe next week!
Turntable - Top 50's music . . . The flipSide - Ral Donner . . . The Club PUB - USPS appears to be retiring vital machines ahead of mail-in ballot surge
That's a wrap!
Till Next week / be safe &
I'll see you on the Turntable!
