Adding to Brother Rat’s ongoing storm narrative and also using his bullet(s) point format…….
BULLET: Blown away?
Like many of the other OSS staff and contributors my family was at ground zero for the surprise fast moving linear windstorm that started in northwest Indiana and spread out like a flood across Ohio, northeast Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. Washington DC was especially hard hit. My prayers go out to all affected.
The storm sped across 700 miles in 12 hours through the Midwest, north Appalachian, and mid-Atlantic states. At peak impact, over 3 million households were without power. The storm at last count, was blamed for thirteen immediate deaths, with scores more of the elderly and infirm dying from heat stroke without air conditioning in its aftermath.
Straight line winds were recorded at 90 miles and hour throughout its course.
BULLETS: The Track.
Thanks to NOAA we have several good maps to show the origin and outcome of the storm.
