horst Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Last night we had several storms come through, the winds were anywhere from 50 to 80+ miles an hour and there were straight line winds south of here strong enough to take out a church and a bunch of farm buildings. No idea how much rain we got but within a half hour of the storm starting the road in front of our house flooded from my curb clear across and up into my neighbors yard, and its still sprinkling rain now Guesse the droughts over anyway.They were closing roads and cars were stranded and in the ditch all over from the amount of rain that came down. The hail missed us but around us they got hail up to an inch in diameter. In a minute my phones gonna start ringng with people having roof leaks they want fixed.Most of them wont believe me when I tell them thier roofs probably wouldnt leak again in a regular rain storm anyway but i suppose Ill climb up and look at em just so they feel better Matter of fact waters dripping in through my laundry room roo as we speak, its hard to get flashing to stand up to that kinda downpour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: What a storm Hope noone was hurt Chris. Have not really had much severe weather here in the way of hail and high winds since the tornadoes back earlier on this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaDeerHunter Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: What a storm Yeah horst we got pounded! 3 inches of rain, and lighting like none other! That church in Cherokee and barns are only 30 miles from me! The wind sure was shaking things last night! A few big branches down in town was all we had for damage though.

Shaun_300 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: What a storm We've been having thunderstorms for the past few days now. Nothing serious though, looks like it's about to storm out there now. No wonder though, we've been having temps anywhere from 90-105 within the past week. Yesterday the humidex was 125!
