Long duration damaging winds with this derecho. Almost looks like you are watching a RFQ of a major hurricane cross the Gulf or Southeast Coast. Watching this 30 minute video gives you an idea why the damage was so extreme. 

 

 

Frightening, BW.  I’ve saved this and intend to pass it on. Is an event of this magnitude possible in our eastern metropolitan coastal areas. It looked like a summary execution by an angry atmosphere. As always .....

We do get derechos but they're not nearly as common as they are in the midwest.

It’s especially scary when you or your property are at risk for getting hit by falling trees in such high winds. I believe the only comparable Derecho event in the Northeast was the Adirondack blowdown in July 1995. While the Labor Day Derecho in September 1998 was impressive here, the intensity and duration of the strongest winds wasn’t nearly as great.

Yeah, interesting geographic pattern to the record heat. A more intense version of last July. The previous record warmest July in Phoenix was 2009.

wow diametrically opposite summers 2009 and 2020 lol

How did they do in 1993?  I'm curious because Death Valley's August temp records are from that year.

Latest Winter Outlook (DJF) as of (Aug. 20) from government,  has AN as 1.6x more likely than BN around here.      I think the summer was called 4.5x more likely to be AN, this far out---so a smaller hurdle to surmount.

Ive seen rjay. A model he is not. Dude completely outkicked his coverage in his marriage. 

I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting or seeing, however if I understand you correctly, despite a gap of generations. Mrs rjay did a much better analysis job of predicting the happiness Of her future than any of our Long term climate models. As always ....

If you’re expecting a response from BX you’ll be disappointed...he’s busy watching a Hallmark Christmas movie as he gets his green and red jammies on 

I considered it but we watched diners drive-ins and dives while drinking allagash whites instead.

Lovely photo. It brought back memories for me, sadly long gone. The portrait was done a year before we met. Her memory room is where I can still see her. It opens up to our postage stamp. There I can walk,  remember and dream. As always ....
