TMann Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 We had this storm roll into Omaha yesterday just as I got home from work, around 5:00 PM. You could watch this roll in like a freight train. I've never seen anything like it in all my years living here in the midwest. The winds were quoted at 90+ mph last night but today they are saying 100+. The golfball size hail missed us but I still have hail on my deck as of 8:30 AM this morning. Very impressive!

Waiter Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 TMann, That looks like one mean frontal system. We had one come through here last week, Waiters Work Shop took a direct hit by lightning, Took out one tree (exploded that baby, right down the middle), two ethernet switches (house and shop) ,and the Garage door opener. (Thats why you couldn't access my webcam for the last week) ( My shop must be on a special piece of ground, I get two or three strikes a year within a 1/2 mile of my shop. This is the first direct hit though) Two weeks before that, a microburst took out line about 1/2 mile wide by a mile long. Took down a big tree at my Mothers old house (I'm renting it out for now). That took up my weekend cutting up firewood. (Oh well, at least I have enough firewood for the next two winters). I don't need any more exitement for the rest of the summer Waiter Quote F16 performance on a Piper Cub budget LongEZ, 160hp, MT CS Prop, Downdraft cooling, Full retract visit: www.iflyez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 .....to boot, I'm the promotions chairman for chapter 80 (EAA) and have been trying to get some press for the Aluminum Overcast which is hear this weekend. We keep getting upstaged by the weather. Learned a new weather term: Gust-nado (no kidding).
