Glad I did. 1" dia hail to my west in BC area. Yikes..cell warned south of me in NIN: HAIL...1.25IN

Currently 84/90/73 per the airport unit. Just took my ride down to the public garage in town just in case a hailer does show up

We've had some early season PDS Watches totally fail over SWMI in the last decade. Even 11-17-13 didn't get the tor's up into MI as was expected. The Tor Watch in May of 2011 which produced the large rotation and tor-like damage swath is the worst I can remember locally. We are kinda overdue tbh. OH had that surprise outbreak back in Aug of '16 or '17, and the after dark EF4 on the NW side of Toledo back in June of 2010 also caused a warning here due to a very brief funnel west of here that took the roof off a church bldg. Way back 100 or more years ago, Marshall took a direct hit from a twister and the city hall bell was later found some miles from it's original location. The bell is now a memorial piece with a history plaque in front our current city hall. Stay safe all you Michiganders!

More crumbling MI infrastructure. A century of growth followed by decades of decline. A ton of stuff was built without thought of what it might cost to maintain or restore when it reached it's life expectancy.

The "relief plug" designed to save total collapse gave out as designed. But it now looks like the rest is buckling too. Yikes

Two sides to every story and this no exception. She wanted to add to the total BEFORE formalized announcement and others disagreed. You can choose what makes the most sense to you. "she objected to the removal of records showing people had symptoms or positive tests before the cases were announced" Was she being proactive or misleading? Again, just a difference of opinion amongst many.

My would be mega bliz for the ages wasted out of season.

Only 1.45 event total here since Sunday. Been very lucky with no heavy rates with much higher amounts just to my west. 3.5+ since Thursday but so far my basement pump is keeping things from getting out of hand.

Already pumping the basement after Thu/Fri delivered 1.5+ here. The two worst floods since living here (Aug '08) were the already mentioned hurricane remnant in Sept of '08 and ofc just 2 years ago in Feb 2018 when the Kzoo river valley set record flood levels due to the heavy rain on top of rapid melt-off of that deep snow pack. Autumn of 2016 (or was it 2015?) was also bad now that I think of it. Just too damned much flooding lately. Tired of drying my basement so often. It's been beyond ridiculous but as said "it's what we do"

Accurate for mby. Splotches of above avg around the state (how'd Genesee Cnty do so well??) but noticeable that a lot of the UP ended up so-so after a very strong first half.

Back when Pure Michigan was an extension of tornado alley (1950-1985), we had legit severe storms. Great interactive presentation on the 40th anniversary of the twister that made an incredibly pin-pointed strike on downtown K'zoo. Dr. Fujita's son actually contributed to this: https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=4ab7acf6be0440df9029fc7267fa21b0

Which have been good to great for the Lwr Lakes iirc. Expectations were certainly high for a much better outcome.

In that related article on the interview with HHS director Azar, he was asked why the death toll has been so much higher here in America? His answer was that so many of us are not in good health to begin with and are easy prey for any such wave of illness. BUT, don't tell Peeps it's their fault. No! Can't have that, after all our healthcare system relies heavily on all these societal diseases for a lot of their day-to-day business. Not only should we not blame them, but we shouldn't educate them on what not to do either (other than smoking ofc which finally has been called out as an industry of unhealthy addiction).

Yep. And utter BS it is. My CAT-5 bliz during the 3rd week of May in rainer form. May was my fave month but this year has severely tarnished it's image. Horrid cold snow and freezes followed by all this flooding crap. Can it get any worse? (don't answer that) Here comes my 3+" qpf mega-storm..

Odd yes wrt the lack of formal watches but there have been TORs. Shiawasee county twister a year or two back for instance.

"Infectious dosage" Back in 1918 pandemic they tried every way possible to prove exposure=automatic illness. Every attempt failed. There was no such thing as guaranteed transmission. Apparently if your immunity was decent you weren't likely to become a victim.

2:35 am hit 27F

Guessing the summer of 1816 featured a bunch of freakish situations like that. Plummeted to 27F here last night before the cloud deck rolled in and temps shot back up for a while before falling to freezing again towards morning. Freeze Warning in effect but temp is still a comfy 35F attm

In a twist of irony, the shutdown to "save the medical establishment" in the short term is now in jeopardy of hosing that same medical industry which is suffering real financial hardship and going broke here in "perpetual corona hell" Michigan. Somebody has finally woken up to the fact and yet another lawsuit was filed to re-open business. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2020/05/health-care-groups-sue-governor-claim-michigan-coronavirus-curve-flattened-and-call-emergency-orders-unconstitutional.html

Under 40 are typically single. So in your world, all guys go buzz, lol. l need mine cut every 5-6 wks and it wasn't cut just prior to shutdown, so I'm really needing a trim on the backside. Can tackle the rest ok and have been.

Interesting chart that gives you an idea of how C-19 stacks up against other outbreaks. The pink rectangle is the "range" expected. Final numbers TBD ofc. It could be as low as equivalent to the seasonal flu, but likely higher. And certainly more contagious.

Wow! Yeah, you've been living in a golden era for Motown=Snowtown

Still, I loathe these 30+ degree "flips" in high temps. Every spring seems to go this way as of late.

Technically, that's correct ofc. What I meant was compared to the 50 Million estimated deaths (some say higher) of the 1918 pandemic, the lethalness hasn't reached the levels that impact the societal psyche like that. A parallel comparison might be WW2 and the Vietnam conflict. Everyone was impacted by WW2 in some direct way. Nasso much with Vietnam. Meanwhile, "incidental deaths" in Michigan are up, and substantially so do the fear of encountering C-19 if you go anywhere near a hospital ER. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2020/05/michigan-coronavirus-crisis-causes-delays-in-other-health-care-sometimes-with-deadly-consequences.html
