WOW...just saw the PNS from OKX regarding the southern CT damage...90-95 mph straight-line winds is pretty damn impressive for this area.  Typically we'll see 75-80 mph and an 85 mph now and then but once you get to 90+ that's pretty damn impressive territory.  

If that's what 90 mph will do, I shudder to think what a redux of 1938 would do.

Velocity scans were nuts, I saw a brief 100 pop up

Wish I could have tracked more on the radar but I was really invested in that Litchfield cell. It was looking good for several scans but I'm wondering if outflow from the S CT line choked off inflow into the storm...it was looking like a supercell but just completely collapsed.

I saw it! That's how I saw southern CT got creamed.

I'm not upset about not wanting to go SW. My friend and I talked about it before we left but we wanted a TOR and at the time that cell heading into Litchfield was discrete had the best potential. Plus it's not like we've been in storms which produced wind damage or serous winds...granted nothing as strong as 90-95 mph but we went for the TOR
