Timmy Supercell had a nasty line move through his town a couple hours ago.  An automated station not too far away recorded a 90 mph wind gust.

Yeah my house had somewhere between 60 to 70. Thankfully my street didn't get anything knocked down. I'm fine for those wondering. I'm waiting for our internet to return. Other than a few power bumps I we got lucky. About 15000 people lost power in the area. Nearby locations had confirmed tornado touchdowns, up to EF1 damage.

Ironton had a tornado and we've driven there a few times, it's just after one of the bridges out of Ashland.

3.16"  day total precip since Sunday  afternoon. And a snow rain mix is still falling so will add to this. What a over performer!  Very thankful!

Skimming through SPC reports from yesterday, someone in Cannonsburg (Boyd Co.) measured a 102 mph gust on their Davis wx station! That first storm was definitely stronger than originally thought.

Just your typical 986mb retrograding mid lat cyclone over MKE...

[Tom]

This is freakin' dope!  "They Eye of the Cyclone" literally passed over MKE...this will go down as a memorable storm for many on here and the U.S.

 

[Tom]

Primarily a 4-8" storm...except for the U.P....

[Timmy Supercell]

Just found this posted by NWS Charleston on facebook. Apparently one of the Boyd County touchdowns was an EF2. The EF1 was pretty close to Ashland.

We probably had like 7-8 here

Right in those areas. I think most of it fell from like 2-6 pm on Tuesday than when rates were lower it had a harder time accumulating 

[Hawkeye]

My three day precip total is 1.37".  I'm happy with that.  We've been doing ok, precip-wise, recently.  However, nearly all precip this year has been either snow or light to moderate rain showers.  I am ready to move on to thunderstorm season.
