My reports. It was a bad day in Huntington County.

I can't answer that. Having many friends there and living only 20 miles away, I try to keep up on what's happening, but can offer no explanation, although I'll do some research. BTW, I have another friend who has contracted it that is (was) a healthy female in her 40's, although she manages a busy doctor's office in Fort Wayne. She is hospitalized and very ill.

I finally got to check in. It looks like there was widespread wind damage. This ol' boy's tired from helping the town of Andrews clean up from 70+ MPH winds (was storm spotting there when it hit), then spent the evening helping fight a house fire. Pics later. Good night.

Yep.QLCS is looking likely. The storms near Bunker HIll and Russiaville in IN are already starting to spin. I may not be back on here for awhile. Getting ready to head out.

Down in our area, the NAM insists on a linear threat, while several runs of the HRRR wants to spit out some discrete cells forming around FWA and moving into Northwest Ohio before going linear around TOL. It will be interesting to see what verifies.

Storm that hit earlier didn't have a warning on it, but had damaging winds. The second round storm was warned, but had no punch. It did produce some cool cloud structure though. (Including requisite crappy cell phone pic)

I know that the run of the mill showers that moved through here a couple of hours ago brought down some strong winds that NWS didn't even have a SPS on until I reported damage. The first tree I saw come down because it's my neighbor's. I also felt sorry for the guy whose new truck bed got crunched. Will have to keep an eye on the next set of showers getting ready to roll through.

Pretty impressive, but I think it's bogus. RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 505 PM EDT TUE JUN 9 2020 ...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT FORT WAYNE... A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 94 DEGREES WAS SET AT FORT WAYNE TODAY AT 418 PM EDT. THIS BROKE THE OLD RECORD OF 93 SET IN 1914.

FWA slightly overperformed at 91° with a predicted high 88°. There was no way of coming close to 1934's 99°.

It must have packed a little punch. I just saw this LSR; SEVERAL LARGE TREES UPROOTED AND TRAILER OVERTURNED NEAR INTERSECTION OF MAYFLOWER ROAD AND SAMPLE STREET. TIME ESTIMATED FROM RADAR.

I know four people who have/had it. One friend died (underlying health issues). Two others had extensive stays in icu. Both families were prepared for the worst, and both nearly didn’t make it. One is a female in her 50’s and healthy, although is/was a smoker. Covid cured her. The other is a male in his early 40’s and had no health issues. The fourth is an otherwise healthy male in his late 40’s. He simply isolated at home, and is just now back to 100% after several weeks.

The Mayor's office just sent this out. A pretty good representation of what's happened and what will happen, IF people behave.

Back in the middle of the craptastic winter we just experienced, several members here proclaimed that we would also have a craptastic spring. Easy call.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll be tuning in.

Might as well go for double digits and Alek won't have any clean clothes to wear until June.

Danny Neal posted 3 funnel photos on LOT's NWS Chat. Not going to post them here without permission.

It may have been mentioned before, but all of this rain in the GL region is not going to be welcome to those with Lake Michigan lakeside properties, especially with the seemingly persistent strong winds we've been experiencing this spring. I read somewhere that the mean lake level has gone up 5 1/2 feet since early 2013.

Ouch!

It looks like we will finally be getting in on some of that action down this way. Even though it has rained for the past three days, the grand total was only 0.82". Model consensus is around 2" between tonight and Monday for Northeast IN.

It is now getting to the time of the year that below climo is not a bad thing, as long as it's not 25° below climo!

I'm not sure how they picked the areas from which they randomly picked the test subjects, but they did take some demographics into account: " In the first phase, more than 3,600 people were randomly selected and an additional 900 volunteers were recruited through outreach to the African American and Hispanic communities to more accurately represent state demographics."

I was going to post the results of that Fairbanks study this morning, but have been busy dealing with it at work today. The study involved picking over 4,500 people around the state at random for testing. Of the 2.8%, 1.7% tested positive and 1.1% were positive for antibodies. Based on the study results of 45% being asymptomatic, there could have been up to 83,700 people in Indiana shedding at any one point. That doesn't sound too bad until you factor in people who refuse to wear masks, say it's not their problem, etc. As you said though, the major goal is getting the high risk people protected.

FWA set a record low this morning of 29°, beating 1946's 31°. We have one more chance of frost tonight before I can put the garden sheets away.

Can you still buy those?

That's what I was thinking. I actually had a mullet once, in 1989. I don't know what got into me.
