  • Today should be the last of this oppressive weather.  A cold front will move through with more storms expected, then some decent weather will be a welcome relief.   We should see highs only in the 70s for the re […]

  • Yesterday brought more heavy rain to the same areas that were affected by Tuesday’s storms.  We sat out last night watching the lightning as it passed to our  northwest.  We did receive a little rain ov […]

    • Hi Cathie! Great post. Hope you had a great labor day. I noticed in the title line for this post the last word says “Michigag” instead of “Michigan”. You might want to fix that up. Just noticed it going through all the posts the past few days. Thanks for keeping us up on the latest weather updates in the Durand MI area. Kevin

  • Yesterday was quite tranquil until late afternoon.  We then began to see storms develop with even a tornado warning in the Jackson area.  I haven’t heard of any damage or actual tornadoes however.  We had a co […]

    • I’ve seen more flooding in Maryland. Anywhere close to Earth Networks or is it another area in Maryland?

    • Well a quick check of cocorahs (not possible to do earlier when the system was down) over Aug 31 to Sep 1 shows amounts for stations in Maryland listed on this website:

      https://www.cocorahs.org/ViewData/TotalPrecipSummary.aspx

      There are a handful of Montgomery County stations where I live and where Earth Networks is located, but there are no reporting stations within a few miles of Earth Networks Headquarters in Germantown. You will see station like mine at MD-MG-115 in West Rockville, and several fairly close by stations in Germantown, Gaithersburg and Rockville. The highest amount stations are in areas north and northeast of Baltimore with a few just to the south of that city. I saw a video of a flooded bridge in Harford County, which is a good 25-30 miles NE of Baltimore. Thanks for your question Nathan.

  • Thousands are still without power in northern lower Michigan after severe storms moved through the state on Tuesday night.  At least 4 tornadoes have been confirmed and much straight line wind damage in the […]

    • Thanks for the great report Cathie. I dug up some more information on the 4 confirmed tornadoes from the Gaylord MI NWS website. I didn’t see an F2 tornado in this report – 2 F0 and 2 F1 tornadoes and they didn’t use Lapeer that I could see. But they mentioned the same counties you did. Perhaps the F2 tornado you reported from Lapeer was evaluated for strength under further review after this NWS report, found at the following NWS website:

    • Hi again Cathie. I double checked the location of Lapeer and found it considerably south of the Gaylord MI forecast office area of responsibility (AOR). It showed up in Google Maps east of Flint and within the Detroit/Pontiac NWS forecast office AOR. So I went to their page and unfortunately they apparently did not go out to Lapeer that I could see and check out this tornado and issue a report like the Gaylord office did. The NWS office out of Detroit/Pontiac does have a limited storm report for August 28, and it is at this website:

    • I found out that the F2 tornado was just north east of West Branch. It wasn’t Lapeer.

      • Thanks Cathie. Makes more sense. I found West Branch on my Large Print Road Atlas. Looks like it is about 20-30 miles SE of Gaylord off of I-75. I just love travel and following routes with good maps. I was always the navigator on family trips while growing up.

  • FINAL UPDATE 9/10/2018:
