China Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 On 8/10/2020 at 3:19 PM, visionary said:   More:  Monday's derecho damaged 10M acres of crops in Iowa; 600K still without power in Midwest  More than 600,000 customers remained without power Wednesday in the Midwest due to the powerful derecho that roared across the region on Monday. Iowa was especially hard hit, as the potent windstorm devastated the state’s power grid and flattened valuable corn fields.  Officials said full recovery from the storm will take several weeks.  The storm had winds of up to 112 mph near Cedar Rapids, Iowa – as powerful as an inland hurricane – as it tore from eastern Nebraska across Iowa and parts of Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois, including Chicago and its suburbs.  Of the 600,000 powerless as of Wednesday, some 330,000 were in Iowa, according to poweroutage.us. Iowa’s three largest metropolitan areas of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport still had widespread outages as of Wednesday morning.  Early estimates say the derecho flattened at least one-third of Iowa's crops – about 10 million acres, according to Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. In addition, tens of millions of bushels of grain that were stored at co-ops and on farms were damaged or destroyed as bins blew away.  Click on the link for the full article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This increased intensity was strong enough for the NHC to call it a tropical storm and give it a name, making it the earliest "J" named storm to form in the Atlantic ever. The previous record-holder was Jose, which formed on August 22 during the historic 2005 hurricane season. Josephine -- pronounced JOH-seh-feen -- is located about 865 miles east-southeast of the Leeward Islands and is tracking to the west-northwest.  An average season produces 12 named storms. Josephine is the 10th named storm, and we are only two months and 13 days into the 6-month season.  Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Tropical depression likely to form in Atlantic soon, forecasters say  A tropical system in the Atlantic Ocean will likely become a depression by the end of the week, forecasters say.  The broad area of low pressure about 700 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands has a 70 percent chance of forming into a depression in the next day or two and a 90 percent chance in five days, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system was moving west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph.   Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Heat wave rolls on, all eyes on dual tropical systems  AUSTIN (KXAN) — Afternoon highs will climb into the upper 90s and low 100s today – Austin likely to reach 102 degrees, our 20th consecutive day of 100 degrees or hotter and 41st for the year. The current forecast projects the all-time record of 27 days will be in jeopardy late next week, but a tropical storm or hurricane could break the streak.  A few isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible late Friday afternoon – mainly along and east of I-35. A stronger disturbance briefly swinging through on Saturday could mean more widespread, scattered showers and thunderstorms, though temperatures may still hit 100° in Austin.   Hurricane season is ramping up as we are tracking dual tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, both forecast to intensify to hurricane strength and move into the Gulf of Mexico simultaneously early next week. Tropical Depression #13 intensified into Tropical Storm Laura this morning — another record-early letter in the storm alphabet for this date.   Click on the link for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Marco Will Approach the Gulf Coast With Heavy Rain, Storm Surge on Monday  Marco is expected to strike the northern Gulf Coast Monday into Tuesday, where it will bring storm surge, heavy rainfall and strong winds to parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.  A hurricane warning is now in effect for a portion of the Louisiana coast, from Morgan City to the Mouth of the Pearl River. Hurricane conditions are possible by midday Monday in this area.  A storm surge warning has also been issued from Morgan City, Louisiana, to Ocean Springs, Mississippi. This means there is a danger of life-threatening inundation from rising water moving into the coastline.  Tropical storm warnings along with hurricane and tropical storm watches have been issued for other parts of the northern Gulf Coast. New Orleans is currently under a tropical storm warning and hurricane watch.  Click on the link for the full article and video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Petition wants Tropical Storm Laura's name changed to 'Polo'  "Marco? Polo!"  A Change.org petition to get Tropical Storm Laura's name changed to Polo is getting social media attention.  The possible reason behind the petition could be because TS Laura isn't alone in the Gulf; she's accompanied by Tropical Storm-turned-Hurricane Marco.  Both storms' outlooks predict they will strengthen to hurricane-level before making landfall at the same time.  The petition was started to "unite Marco and Polo once and for all."  Click on the link for the full story  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
