ct_yankee Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Very nice video, wiz. I watched the whole thing in full HD, and there's multiple cool things going on throughout. It's hard to tell, but that thin funnel-like "feature" up in the clouds at about 12:30 just might have been what they call a bow-tie funnel, a funnel that connects to clouds on both ends, they're usually seen somewhere in the clear slot and they look pretty similar to what's in the video. There are a couple of other features in the clip that probably you could also count as legitimate funnels. And that barber-pole wall cloud, totally awesome. Real good stuff.

Yeah that feature was so interesting...pretty sweet we were able to see that. It didn't last a long time but I remember seeing features like that in other videos so it really caught my eye. There was just so much rotation going on...just nothing wanted to really tighten up enough to drop anything. the lighting was quite intense as well...JUST before I hit record on my camera a bolt of lightning came down from like cirrus clouds lol...it was crazy. Very loud cracks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornadomachine Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Here's the video. The first 5-6 min is looking at first wall cloud we saw...then around 7-8 min is watching the leading edge of the rain come at us. Around 11:30-12:00 is just about when we see the second rotating wall cloud...was looking pretty impressive and we thought it was going to produce a funnel...there was a brief time where it looked but as I was going nuts over it, it sort of backed off it a bit. Top notch guys. That was some real great plains stuff, wonder why they never warned for tors. Could've gone south fast, good on you for getting word out to NWS!

CoastalWx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 If I had to guess, the area outlined by BOX (int CT through NE MA) really does look like there's potential for some severe and even an iso tor or so. Farther south, gonna need some more sunshine, but the threat is there with some better shear near the south coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great video.....Where were you? Is this the same storm that went into Enfield and Somers? Cuz we were in Somers when it came through and the lightning was so over the top and the thunder was epic.....we left heading back to 91 around 7pm I would say and got smacked with done pretty string wind and flying leaves and branches..... Loved it meanwhile my wife was screaming at me to watch the road...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've gone south fast, good on you for getting word out to NWS! I don't think the rotation really ever became completely tight enough...although it was probably very, very close at times. there were numerous wall cloud reports from others viewing this storm as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 omg I think it's rotating weeniespin.gif Wow! I just wish we had more than 9 seconds. Here are some photos taken from the skywarn coordinator for Albany (Ray Weber) took in Agawam of some damage... Pic from IJD after our game looking towards Tolland thanks for the posts guys--pretty intense stuff. We were enjoying the sun at that point. Nothing overnight here, but some rumbles and a few flashes in advance of the heavy line working north. 63.4/63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 lots of lightning in this one.....lots more to go per radar/lightning trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Davis is reading a rainfall rate of 6.02/hr. Not too shabby. Edit: 6.8/hr Reedit: 8.4, but now it's eased up considerably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The thunder/lightning elements ended up being more back than bite. A lot of flashes and rumbles, but by timing, I think the closest was no closer than 1/2 mile. A lot within 2-3 miles. Torrential rains, though. Davis back up to 3.51"/hr with 1.21" in the bucket in less than an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sounds like a survey team will head out to Goose Lane/ big y plaza where damage was severe @TollandAlert: #CTLightandPower & #TollandWorks have worked feverishly through the night to open roads and restore power. 5,000 were 1st without. 55 remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well, it's pretty much over. Took less than--but close to--an hour to go through. 1.33" in the bucket. Hopefully the afternoon might give a nice finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Any wind? I'm in Falmouth so missed it but that's a pretty good drink of water. No wind here, but the storm was warned in eastern Franiklin. Perhaps there was more of a breeze toward your neck of the woods? Probably not, but you would have been a little closer to the warned area.so who knows. Patches of blue now. Enjoy the Cape--I hope the weather cooperates. BTW, we went to the PP for dinner on Friday. Great burgers. I was scouting around but I guess you weren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
