200k people without power in Michigan - severe t-storms firing in upper midwest states

Eh, when you've experienced a tornado in real life even an F0 tornado even from two or three miles away that's still a life changer. Heck, I didn't realize even an F0 tornado could cause a fair amount of damages miles away from it. It's been about a month since the F0 tornado in my town and most of the city damages are cleaned and repaired by now.

However, the private side of things from what I've been hearing time to time my suspicions were confirmed correct. Insurance companies are doing everything they can to screw everyone over so they don't have to pay a penny while raking in everyone's money all the while.

No doubt about it

Allstate just screwed me after promising cheaper premiums

Same old shit

Be safe all

Large T-Cells have crossed the lake and are in western MI now around Manistee.

.

Is that Omar's territory?

Is that Talib's territory?

Could be due to presence of Muslims and lack of churches getting the New Jerusalem Russ Calendar to the local population so they are without light and power. Tomorrow is the real July 4th

Maybe you should learn where exactly Western MI is, and where Talib's district is before you ask a stupid question.

Yeah really, AC. Seems to me with each passing season the majority of the storms progressively get worse bit by bit with some storms being wild leaps and bounds in intensity. The ultimate sense of loss without losing your life is losing your home due to natural disasters.

And some old white guys will risk their lives to get it back on again!!!

Heat Waves

Heat waves can be defined in many ways. For consistency across the country, this indicator defines a heat wave as a period of two or more consecutive days where the daily minimum apparent temperature (actual temperature adjusted for humidity) in a particular city exceeds the 85th percentile of historical July and August temperatures (1981–2010) for that city. This approach is useful for several reasons:

The most serious health impacts of a heat wave are often associated with high temperatures at night, which is when the daily minimum usually occurs. If the air temperature stays too warm at night, the body faces extra strain as the heart pumps harder to try to regulate body temperature.

Adjusting for humidity is important because when humidity is high, water does not evaporate as easily, so it is harder for the human body to cool off by sweating. That is why health warnings about extreme heat are often based on the “heat index,” which combines temperature and humidity.

By using the 85th percentile for each individual city, this indicator defines “unusual” in terms of local conditions. A specific temperature like 95°F might be considered unusually hot in one city but perfectly normal in another city. Plus, people in relatively warm regions (such as the Southwest) may be better acclimated and adapted to hot weather.

AND 144,000 out in Wisconsin

spreading to Minnesota as well!

We were just joking wouldn’t it be a great cap to this weekend

The power goes out

^^this^^

It’s summer you know...

Thanks for The Who song

They made such powerful music

The lows

That’s the magic

As long as the lows are in the 60’s be aight

The high can be what ever it wants

She’s a rollin on in

Watch for twisters

Plenty of red in that radar

Right. The heart needs to rest at night and it can't do that if the 'apparent or feels-like' temperature is too high.

As the link I provided above under heat waves shows the 'heat waves' were analyzed from 1961 to 2017 utilizing airport temperature stations as they are long-term reliable indicators. They defined 'heat waves' as 2 consecutive days or more with the minimum 'apparent temperature above the 85 percentile average of July/August '61 to '17 data.

The trend is more frequent and longer lasting 'waves'. The map in the article shows which areas of the country have affected the most.

Well OP

You’re running a thorough thread that’s for sure

Thanks for songs and very detailed information

Fun Live band.. and loud lol.

They still have poison tap water though right?

Props IBEW brother

That is true.

The highest heat indexes ever recorded happened not in the Desert Southwest- as temperatures often feel considerably cooler than the actual temperature due to really low humidity- and surprisingly not even in Florida, the Gulf Coast or Deep South- which is known for its hot humid weather.

It's the Upper Midwest states like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, and northern Illinois where the highest heat indexes occur. New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Boston and Philadelphia have had some pretty nasty heat indexes too.


Look up 1995 heatwave. The highest recorded heat index was in Wisconsin at nearly 150 degrees. In fact almost every place in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, northern Illinois, including Chicago, and Michigan had heat indexes between 120-150. Over 700 died in Chicago alone. Parts of the Northeast like Philadelphia, New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Boston saw heat indexes over 129 and even over 130.

The Upper Midwest and Northeast also had heatwaves with some pretty nasty heat indexes in 1999, 2001, and 2011. 2012 while just as hot or hotter actual temperature wise, didn't feel as bad due to significantly lower humidity.
