downeastnc Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 We had lots of trees and power lines down. It was the most intense storm I have ever seen. I was just so amazed at the storm. Best storm ever lol. Someone reported penny sized hail as well. I was just looking at the winds and didn't even notice the hail. It was also some flooding that went on because of the rainfall rates. NWS Jacksonville never issued a warning and issued the flood warning 2 hours late. GSP in SC is issuing Severe thunderstorm warnings every where for the storms currently. Still no cable and Internet here and thousands are still without power. Sounds like the damage is what you would expect with winds in that range of 60-80 mph, also its been my experience when you get a good downburst you usually get that swirling almost whited out effect from the mist being blown off everything as the winds pick up. So you might have averaged 50-60 mph. Again it can be deceiving though this video is a 60ish mph wind gust but it was never lower than 40 or so for the entire video just about, and a few miles down the road it hit 80-100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzxlLhmUtNs that video was this event http://www.weather.gov/mhx/Jul012012EventReview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 WxSouth 6 mins · With the deep southerly flow at the surface and aloft, and sunshine in many areas ahead of the front, storms will have no problem breaking out later today. Individual cells will march northward, while several lines will propogate slowly eastward, covering a lot of ground the next 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWarning Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looks like you boys and galz in Carolina should be seeing some decent storms late this afternoon and tomorrow. Good luck and may the lapse rates be ever in your favor. Broward and Palm Beach County are going to get absolutely pummelled for the next 2-3 days. Have a feeling were going to see some crazy rainfall totals by this weekend. Some of the storms over the last few days have packed a punch. According to my wind meter, the storm I had on Sunday had a few 40-50 MPH gusts. However, in my opinion, the main threat today and tomorrow will be significant street flooding.

They were slightly stronger than the ones in the video above. It probably was a downburst that we had. Next time I will go outside and use my handheld anemometer and get an accurate measure whenever we see a storm like that in the next 20 years. Yes Brick, Waycross has power and the power lines aren't made of bamboo and yarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just had some serious wind and gusts just prior to the storms moving in. Was blowing the dead leaves off the Bradfords from the road clear past the house into the back yard on the fly. Had the limbs on the Tulip Poplar bent the wrong way. The ones facing right were pointed to the left! I'm going to guess easily 50-60 mph - a type of wind I haven't seen in quite a while. Heavy rain now- not white-out conditions, but maybe 1/2 mile visibility. Not hearing much in the way of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Usually convection depletes instability, not aid it. I thought sometimes if there is rain early, and then the sun comes out, it gets muggier and that can help create more instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I thought sometimes if there is rain early, and then the sun comes out, it gets muggier and that can help create more instability. If it's long enough in between, then the atmosphere can destabilize, but generally (not always) convection works over the atmosphere and it takes some time to recover.
