| episode_narrative | Widespread severe thunderstorms struck Upper Michigan on August 1st as a strong surface low pressure center moved northeast into Ontario and its attendant warm and cold fronts interacted with a warm, moist and unstable airmass over the northwest Great Lakes. Thunderstorms first developed in Upper Michigan during the pre-dawn hours over the west, then continued off and on through the day before exiting Luce and Schoolcraft Counties late in the afternoon. There were numerous reports of wind damage, large hail, and torrential flooding rains. Wind gusts estimated as high as 80 mph near Houghton peeled a roof off a warehouse, overturned a truck, and downed numerous trees and power lines. One thunderstorm bombarded Escanaba with golf ball-sized hail and dropped enough rain to inundate the intersection of US-2, M-35, and US-41 with a foot of water. Nearby Gladstone measured 2.06 inches of rain...and Wetmore in Alger County logged 2.40 inches in a short time. |
