PLenty of tree limbs and power lines down, a few trees down. Tropical storm like rains for sure.

Can someone post radar from the second tornado warning?

I was wondering how you were faring down in Farmington. It pulsed up pretty good again when it got to you.
Still vivid lightning and deep rolling thunder being observed from Perryville. What a storm this was. Duration and distance alone is impressive as hell.

I was skeptical this morning if anything would happen but this thing was able to tap into the jet fuel atmosphere and use it to its full advantage |

I really didn’t see nothing to stop it- 700 temps were cooling as it worked itself to the river

PLenty of tree limbs and power lines down, a few trees down. Tropical storm like rains for sure. I can echo most of that too. Watching very impressive cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning now. I am going to have to survey the damage better tomorrow. So we didn't get a lot of rain here as much as we had very strong wind gusts, mixed with some rain and then ground shaking thunder and lightning. It's truly been a crazy week of weather. Great call by the mets on here. Mr. Higgins always impresses me as do others and how they are able to forecast this and it was predicted several days ago. |

Can someone post radar from the second tornado warning? I assume you're talking about this one in IL? Very robust mesovortex there. Definitely deserved a warning and produced damage in the area. Not sure if that produced a tornado though. However, pretty sure the unwarned mesovortex to the east did...   |

What is even more sad is the lack of storm reports in the moderate risk. |

Just got home from Fort Riley. Only two pieces of siding were removed thanks to the wind. Pic was texted to me by my wife.  |

Not that it matters much, but do we hit 100 today? Last night soundings from SGF and ILX showed 850mb temps in the 23-24C range. Often that's enough for Lambert to reach that mark with typical summer mixing, southwesterly or westerly winds, and sunny conditions. However, most modeling keeps surface winds out of the south (some even turn it SSE late in the day) and there will be plenty of energy "lost" through evapotranspiration given moist conditions. Only the GFS brings temps into the 100s for part of the area. So I'm skeptical, but I wouldn't bet against it. In any case, heat index values in the 110-115 range appear likely.

Maybe bdgwx can get to it before that... |

Zip code of 62223 seems to have received the worst of the outages, luckily most of my immediate neighborhood has power including me, but over 25% of people are still without power. Rest of Belleville not that bad with only 3-4% without power according to Ameren Illinois.
Strike that, most of the western half of my subdivision without power, but the central and eastern portion is mostly OK.

While over 40K are without power in Illinois, this is still light years better then 12 years ago when it was closer to a million plus from that Derecho, things and smart grid have come along way. Most people that are still without power should get it back today, unlike back in 2006 when it took up to several days to restore everyone. Things could of been far worse.

NWS forecast calls for 113* HI for me today.......definitely going to be an early one today. But took advantage of the cool flow of the storm last night to get back out and get a few more lawns done. |

I know they upped that number from yesterday. Was wondering if it was the rain yesterday that prompted them to do that |

Ameren deserves huge props for their investment in tree trimming and other improvements. That certainly helped. The other mitigating factor was that this was centered east of stl for the most part. 06 took out a bigger swipe of the metro. Shift this 15 miles west and it's much worse. I agree that the area bounded by 255 on the west, 64 to the north, green mount road to the east, and rt 15 to the south took the brunt of it last night. Roughly the area impacted by the tor warning. We lost power for 4 hours, but luckily our outage was 570 customers. I'm sure it will take most of the day and into tomorrow to get everybody back online. There are a lot of small single customer outages in the ogles neighborhood of West Belleville. |

Also you could definitely see the wind direction in the corn last night. Little lean from n to s.

There is a lot of corn damage in the Mascoutah area also.
Our power finally came back on around 4:30am. Props goes out to the Mascoutah Power, they were on the downed trees and outages before the rain even stopped.

I'm seeing damage all the way out here in West Frankfort and Benton. It's pretty consistent. Not what I call widespread but pockets of major tree damage even a couple of uproots. They still have a couple of roads closed down here because the power lines down. I'm going to head towards McLeansboro and give you guys a report after that

I know we had some tree damage at our house last night. It was definitely from the gust front on the leading-edge. I know back in 2006 we had mucho damage in downbursts within the heavy rain itself in both of those systems. I don't think we experienced any real downburst activity in Hecker, but I'm not sure if we were in any of the heaviest rain cores either
