Natester Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 More bark than bite here as the strong wind barely missed me to the north. I don't think the wind ever exceeded 40 mph. There was a lot of lightning, but no loud thunder. It never even rained especially hard and I only picked up a few tenths of an inch. Edit: I see there were also reports of 60 mph on the south side, 70 mph on the east side, and 52 mph at the airport. It appears my garden really dodged a bullet as all the wind went around me. The power did go out for a while, so there was obviously strong wind nearby. Edit #2: I just found some of my plants damaged(argh!!!) so the wind must have gone above 40 mph. I wasn't as lucky, I lost power for about an hour and 25 minutes. The winds must have been at least 70 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 http://www.earthcam....o/wrigleyfield/ Looks pretty strong at Wrigley, probably all of 65.

Hard to say this high up, but most likely 60+ based on previous bows I could tell also when I was on the phone at work with a customer in one of the suburbs. She said her condo started shaking and I could hear the wind booming along through the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nice avatar. Boy I'd love to be on the lake shore watching this complex come across the lake. Talked to a person from St. Joe MI who did exactly that at Silver Beach on a past storm. Awesome experience for him. I am in the far eastern edge of the svr warning here at present as the bow barrels my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 looks as if the first line wont provide much and curious if the bow coming over the lake will make it across the state or weaken with the rain/debris ahead if it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 wonder if we get any type of lakeshore flood statement for possible seiche, an w/e moving bow with 60-70 mph winds sounds like a candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
