Freaky weather destroying upper Midwest, sign of the times

[reagansghost]

A line of severe thunderstorms swept through the upper Midwest July 19 into early morning July 20.

This derecho produced wind damage over a path of almost 500 miles in 10 hours

Over 200,000 power outages were reported in MIchigan and Wisconsin.



A line of severe thunderstorms known as a derecho produced damaging winds across the upper Midwest Friday and early Saturday morning, downing numerous trees, damaging some homes, and knocking out power to several hundred thousand customers.

A cluster of thunderstorms in eastern Minnesota Friday afternoon organized into a squall line that raced across northern Wisconsin Friday evening into Lower Michigan after midnight, laying down a 485-mile long trail of damaging winds over a 10-hour period.

The derecho first organized in central Minnesota between the Twin Cities and Duluth, dumping hail as large as baseballs in Pine City late Friday afternoon, smashing vehicle windshields on Interstate 35. Wind-driven hail reportedly flattened crops in the area. At least three buildings were damaged in the nearby town of West Rock, Minnesota.

A trained spotter recorded a wind gust up to 84 mph and sustained winds of 73 mph for five minutes in Cushing, Wisconsin as the developing squall line crossing into northwest Wisconsin.

Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, about 55 miles northeast of St. Paul, was particularly hard hit Friday evening. A roof was ripped off one business, siding partially torn off a hotel and numerous trees were downed. Power was knocked out to many customers in Polk and Burnett counties as storms tore through.

Two barns, a garage and silo were reportedly downed and power poles were bent or snapped in Clark County, Wisconsin, and a well-constructed pole barn was destroyed in neighboring Marathon County.

Widespread tree damage has been reported across Langlade, Shawano, Portage, Outagamie, Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties in eastern Wisconsin.

If the wind wasn't bad enough, a tornado touched down near Knowlton, Wisconsin, located roughly 50-55 miles west-northwest of Green Bay around 8:30 p.m. CDT, destroying a barn.

Trees were downed in Green Bay as the line of thunderstorms arrived late Friday evening.

The derecho then roared across Lake Michigan into Lower Michigan after midnight.

Numerous trees were downed in Lake, Mecosta, Newaygo, Montcalm County.

A wind gust of 64 mph was clocked in Muskegon, where numerous trees were downed, some on vehicles in the city just after 1 a.m. One tree was downed on a hotel in Marion, Michigan.

Winds gusted to 69 mph in Grand Rapids. A roof was blown off a home in Jenison, just west of Grand Rapids and a large tree was downed on a home in Middleville, just south of Grand Rapids.

Huge area of the United States broils on what could be the hottest weekend in U.S. history


The heat wave that has baked more than half the country over much of this week hits its peak in many areas this weekend with blazing heat, stifling humidity, and a combined heat index that’s not just a recipe for misery, but a serious health threat. Though only a handful of locations are expected to break their all time temperature records, the extent of this heatwave could still make for the hottest weekend ever recorded.

Heat emergencies have been declared in over a dozen cities and scheduled events in many areas, including the New York Triathlon, have been cancelled because of the heat this weekend. However, many Americans are still working in positions that require them to be out in the sun. That includes utility workers trying to deal with an electrical grid straining under near record demand. If you have to be in the heat this weekend, watch yourself — and others around you — for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The National Weather Service has noted that this heat wave has been particularly prolonged and is especially dangerous because temperatures have also been well above normal overnight. High nighttime temperatures are regarded as a indicator of high risk to public health. So … watch it.
Warmer nighttime temperatures are one of the features predicted by many climate change models, and as the climate crisis becomes evermore present day to day, those predictions are proving themselves correct. Hot temperatures overnight this week are greatly increasing both electrical use and the health threat. Some areas can expect relief from the heat as soon as Sunday evening. For others, the heat will continue into next week with a break in the heat wave not expected before Tuesday or Wednesday.

This shot of heat across the United States follows just a month after Europe reached all-time-record heat. Earlier this year, Australia was blasted by a heat wave that saw all time records fall, along with temperatures so great that wildlife died in huge numbers.

Our climate who art in statitics
Hallowed be thy name
Thy funding come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in models
Give us this day our daily temp
And forgive us for our footprints
As we condemn those whose footprints came before us
And lead us not into emission
But deliver us from ourselves
Amen

the GOP's climate change denial means nothing in reality, Trump pulling out of the Paris accords and generally destroying what few US policies has/had in place are meaningless

but for sure as the country is ravaged more every year the GOP looks more and more clueless and will take political hits...……...consolation prize as the planet gets roasted

We got lucky where we live. We were supposed to get it pretty bad, but once again it fizzled out a bit over the bay. What was deep marron on radar quickly turned to yellow.

Calling you an ecocidal moron, for one. Every little helps.
