Had to meet some folks on Kellys today, and when I left the dock I snapped these pictures.  Lake water levels are truly amazing with very little end in sight.

    Can we all stop and appreciate the miraculous turnaround of the weather for the eclipse?    As recently as Friday it was saying rain with maybe some partial clearing. Today was about as good

    Is the aurora weather? Anyway, just got back from the lakefront at Voinovich. Very cool and a decent crowd on hand that was growing by the minute.

So when there is this much rain do they let more water flow over Niagra Falls?  

When the levels are this high, we should sell some to Arizona & China lol.

Well China is actually building a 300-mile tunnel and planning a 600-mile tunnel coming off the Tibetan Pateau.  The volume of water that they're looking to divert is gigantic so it's unfortunately going to cause big environmental changes for the current outflow from the plateau into India, Bangladesh, etc.  

 

It's raining in Columbus? While we've had more than our share of rain in Cleveland, most of the heavy stuff has been to our south. And today was a nice, warm, sunny day in Cleveland.

It ain't just Columbus, it's the whole damn state.  I went to Put-in-Bay several weeks ago and Lake Erie was basically in the parking lot for the Miller Ferry.

Yes, it's been raining here a lot this spring too. And I'm familiar with the high lake levels living here in Greater Cleveland. But it wasn't raining when I posted that, which made me feel pretty good that it was sunny in Cleveland that day while it was storming down south. Yes I was enjoying our respite despite your pain. Sorry....a little bit. ?

 

Meanwhile, across the pond. My wife says it's been blazing hot in Ukraine and Georgia, where she's been since early June....

I don't remember it raining this much since 2011. If it is a pattern, next summer will be very hot...

So it's October yet it is in the 90s outside. Attention all UO building mechanicals and operations experts: Why does the air conditioning run so little as compared to when it is 90 in the summer? The lows really haven't been that low but obviously the nights are now longer and the sun angle is lower all day.

I rode my bike with my shirt off today.  It was 93F or so.  It didn't seem very hot.  The sun is quite obviously lower in the sky now, so that must explain it, along with the hour-longer head start the sun gets during June-Aug.

Few things are as terrifying as a tornado. And we're on the edge of the world's most prolific tornado breeding ground....

I mean, that's really insane! And it shows you just how unique the conditions have to be for tornado-genesis and that they only exist in central US/Canada. Look at the latitude that the bulk of them are at..let's say 45'N. Moving East you have the Mediterranean Sea and then the Himalayan Mountains and Ocean until you are back at the Rocky Mountains. None of those are geographically conducive. 45'S...basically no land mass.

 

Fascinating!

^ That was my exact experience on the commute this morning. Barely a scrap of snow on Playhouse Square, then a whiteout at E185th and beyond.

I went very early and went up Lakeshore/Vine, not too much s*** all the way out to Mentor.

Views out my window here in Lakewood this morning....

A friend took this picture off their back porch in an eastern Cleveland suburb this morning. Normally I would consider this to be a very beautiful picture except, well, it's mid-April.

I witnessed very cool tornadic rotation a few miles south/southeast of West Jefferson! Did not see a funnel cloud or tornado though-view partly blocked by houses. LEO report a touchdown near Lilly Chapel(a few miles south/southeast of West Jefferson)but no damage reports.

In case anyone is wondering what the site specific weather conditions are at my house, I got my own little weather station now.

 

Here is the broadcast via weather underground:

Well aren't YOU fancy!

This is actually very cool. Scovette? Sounds like a small cool little town.  The flowers are very nice as well. I see that it is only 75 degrees there right now.  ?

 

*Are you on any weather forums like American Weather Forums?

Scovette = Scott + Yvette
A friend of ours started calling us that while we were dating and it stuck - lol

 

That one I have not heard of - I'll check it out. Thanks. (like I have time for another forum - heheh)

OK cool. It does sound like a quaint little town sort of like the "Murder She Wrote" sort of town to me though...tucked away on a little cove along Lake Erie or something.  It is a nice coupling of both names. 

 

The Ohio/Great Lakes part of that forum has tended to be very winter weather oriented(they love snow storms).

Did anyone catch what was going on in Iowa a week ago Monday? Massively powerful derecho storm. This wasn't one straightline wind, it was sustained winds of around 60-80 mph with gusts going as high as 110 mph.

 

Cedar Rapids has been absolutely devastated.

 

The government response has been horrific ("Covid" Kim Reynolds-Trump never visited until the Friday after and didn't call the national guard in until then). The leaders are saying the devastation is worse than the flood and over 1,000 homes already were check as uninhabitable after first go through. 

 

My dad has 1/3 his roof blown off, my brother's deck was destroyed. Here are some videos. 

 

REALLY starts picking up at 13 minutes:

@IAGuy39 I have to admit I've never heard of a derecho before; that was intense. Thanks for posting.

^We had one in Columbus in July of 2012. It wasn't as bad as the one in Iowa though. It was still a huge mess.

The west coast weather has been crazy the last few days. Here is a shot from 10 am from my Mother's school in Oregon.

Hurricane likely around NOLA by the weekend.  "Delta" is forecast(right now and preliminary of course)to be a cat 2 or 3 near the LA coast by Friday morning. Something to watch.

That weather was a bit wild right at kick off at the Browns game Sunday!

 

I took a walk Monday morning down E9th and there was loads of glass by the Winking Lizard, all over the sidewalk and in the gutter. This was quarter-inch thick architectural glass, clear and smoked. I couldn't see where on earth it had come from. On my way back up the street after visiting the lake, I saw what had happened. About 10 floors up on the AECOM building, in the back corner, workmen were boarding up a couple of missing windows from the inside. Somehow, the wind must've got in behind them and not only blew them out, but also sent them about 50 yards to the east before hitting the ground.
