Hoosier

Just want to say thanks to those who offered well wishes following my accident. I have a concussion and cervical strain (whiplash) and have been dealing with the effects of those. The time since July 3 is a blur. I went back and read my post from then and really don't even remember that, but according to the information packet I received sometimes all of the symptoms don't start right away. Lights, including screens, have been bothering me. Fortunately that has largely cleared up but I am still having headaches and difficulty concentrating. My past memories (weather and other) are all there, I think. Like I remember the big storms, getting screwed by sleet in the 2011 storm, and stuff like that. All in all, things are starting to get better but the recovery timetable from the neck strain is up in the air. Could be weeks, could be months. Looks like Barry will be a big rainmaker down south and it looks like it could get pretty hot around here soon.

Well it was an eventful night. Went to a local fireworks show and on the way back got rear ended. Was at a red light and quickly heard waht sounded like screeching tires. As soon as I heard the sound is when the car hit. There was no time to look or panic or do anything, it just seemed like it happened. It was so fast. I am at the hospital. I am having pain and just not feeling right. Here are a couple of pics from the fireworks. It was a good night and then the crash. Things happen fast

Chile/Argentina again next year. Lucky folks.

The cicada broods are fascinating. And if you've been in the right area, you know how many of them can be around and how loud it can get... almost deafening.

LOT posted this pic on their website. From Polo, IL

Yeah was just coming to post it. Looks like whatever complex there is may take a hard right turn as it gets to WI/IL.

Obligatory

Happened to me too. The flooding sounds pretty bad to my south/west.

Pretty good storm here now. Quality wind and hail.

Tornado warning now for that storm southwest of South Bend.

Cell about to come onshore in Laporte county has a little rotation.

These are the kind of things I used to read about old time tornadoes. Love hearing these personal details.

Check out that office in northwestern CA.

IWX has the path map up as well as other stuff https://www.weather.gov/iwx/SouthBendTornado_6-23-2019 Only moved 2 miles in 10 minutes. That is slow anywhere but especially slow for this part of the country.

Funny how the caption says possible tornado. Ya think? Just another reminder that occasionally you can get something like this on days which really aren't synoptically evident.

Was driving by a local outdoor fest earlier when the heavens opened up. I mean torrential, blinding rain. There were some tents off in the distance but there was a row of porta potties that was much closer to where some folks were. I was wondering if any of them was going to opt for a porta potty to take cover instead of making a lengthy run to a tent. Wasn't able to see what happened since I was just driving by. If I were one of them, I probably would've settled for a porta potty lol. Always have a plan B.

I liked the late sunsets when I was in LAF.

ENH extended southeastward.

Whether or not it happens on the 06z outlook, I think there's a fairly decent chance that tomorrow ends up being an ENH risk around IA/MO/IL.

I haven't checked but anecdotally it seems like it's been cloudier than average for a while.

Well, good news is that can't trend much worse.

I think it's an office by office thing or even just comes down to who did the survey/typed up the summary. I have seen verbose descriptions for EF0/EF1 tornadoes but sometimes not. I think it's more important that they were accurate (or at least as accurate as possible) with the path length, intensity, etc.

8 tornadoes so far in IN (5 in IND, 3 in ILN). Here's an interesting tidbit... that is more tornadoes on June 15, 2019 than occurred on all June 15ths from 1950-2018 combined.

IND tweeted that they found a couple of EF2s... one east of Bloomfield and another near Ellettsville.
