I was visiting Ft Wayne Ind during that storm the other day and 3 miles away from us a woman was killed when her mobile home flipped over from the wind.
She died holding onto her 4 yo grandson who survived.

Pic of expanding fire cloud intermingled with the white ones we get with high humidity.
Fyi the fire was caused by a homeless camper setting fire to a homeless camper who refused to move... :bricks:

Wind gusts up to 141 kph (87.6 mph) in my city. Neighbor said she didn't see any damage to my car. I said, it's an old car even if there was some damage I'd just let it go.

Glad its nothing serious.

No damage!

Definitely had some strong wind here is Michigan the last couple days . . power out, trees down, sure damage here and there.  I saw some video of Lake Michigan and it was very angry!  But in the upcoming forecast  . . this Friday shows 60* and sun!  Last day for my cars I think . . .  :dunno:
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

We had this in SoCal Oc 2 weeks ago.
Coupled with 50+ mph winds it was a fun time...

Severe Weather?

Yes, but a rainy season equals more fuel growth. You cannot win! The day I disassembled my car and made it immobile, CDF planes and copters started flying around. Even after the first good rain, they are now extending our fire season thru December! My asbestos underwear may be itchy, but I'll have the last laugh :woohoo:h.
