Balta1701 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If you remember that "Derecho" last year, the gigantic storm that started in Michigan and wound up damaging DC, basically that except with tornadoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 High risk of tornadoes? There is a high risk of severe storms, meaning that if you are in the pink area, you are almost certainly going to see 40+ mph winds and lots of lightning. Chances of hail and tornadoes are also decent. Tornado chances are highest for places that are wherever the line of storms happens to be during the hottest parts of the day, which appears to be far northwestern IL and the eastern 2/3 of Iowa.

Balta1701 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 01:57 PM) So, what about rain totals? Depends on how it forms/shapes up. These things will dump large amounts of rain in short periods of time, but they can also move quickly. I don't know how you'd predict the rate its going to move at until it starts forming. Flooding certainly possible, several inches possible if things are slow enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Pssh, the Sox won't call it until they get 10k people to show up and buy beer while walking around the concourse. That's happened to me twice. I'm concerned because we got water in our basement earlier this year when we had like 3 days of straight rain and my sump burned up. I think we ended up getting like 8-9 inches of rain and the ground was totally saturated though. If we get damaging winds and the power goes out, i'm f***ed. I might go buy a generator after work just to make sure my sump pump stays on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Have tickets to sox game, wondering how early they will call it if things are supposed to be this bad. Unfortunately the stuff isn't supposed to get that far East until evening so I highly doubt they call it early. I fear that this thing is going to hit with force right around game time. What they should have done is decided last night to move the game up to 2pm this afternoon and give all the fans who couldn't go a chance to exchange tickets for a future game.

A storm like this packing 50+ mph winds isn't going to be in any one place long enough to dump 8-9 inches of rain, but 3+ inches isn't out of the question.
