TheWatShot Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I read yesterday that Indiana has had 44 tornado reports this year, when the state averages only 22 annually. The year is only half over and we've already doubled that number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Looks like some nasty weather is headed into Indiana within an hour or so. Strong winds and tornado possibility. Be alert everyone. It appears that the front will drop down through the southern part of the state. Storms moving at 65 mph per Weather Channel. Derecho possible.

Hey where are you again? I just picked up Texas in my travel territory. I am in Houston right now, spent the last 2 days North of Dallas. EFF'in hot and I've spent months in Tucson, in the summer! Side note, I am not sure about horses, but back when I was raising Alpaca's, wetting them down can be bad as the water can steam and cook them. But that was probably due to the paca fleece holding in the heat. It can kill a paca unless you keep them soaked for a long long time.

Yes, it's effin' hot and will be for a while... I scrape most of the water off of the horses (they have a special tool for that). You can't just wet them and forget about it...

This week alone between my yard and aunt's up the road we have had 7 very large branches/trees come down on north side of Indy. It's been weird where I live. In June everything was going south of us, and in July it feels like everything has been going north. No damage here last night, although we did get a severe thunderstorm warning (the typical "60 mph winds" that are probably more like 40 mph). NWS crews are looking at Portland and the northwest side of Fort Wayne for possible tornado damage. Also, I want to give credit to weather forecasters, who hear all kinds of insults when they're wrong but crickets when they're right. The forecasts this week were spot on, and July/August storm systems are hard to predict because the jet stream is all over the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Been a rough week for the NWS when it comes to tornado warnings. Last weekend, there was a spotter a couple counties away from me who reported a cone-shaped funnel almost reaching the ground, with a strong signature on radar, and no warning was ever issued. Then this afternoon, this happened near Crawfordsville and somehow slipped through the cracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
