Severe Weather 2023

Thankfully I haven't seen too extreme of damage to houses and other more sturdy structures on Twitter and Facebook, although some barns were destroyed. It's possible I missed some pics or there's worse damage that hasn't been posted on social media yet, but looking at Google Maps, I'm wondering if it may have reached peak intensity in the open fields and woods next to I-96 just west of Webberville. Not too many houses and buildings over there.
 
Not sure if the Fowlerville one is technically the Webberville one, or a weaker tornado after the stronger one.



Also, another pic of the tree damage. I'm wondering the forest and cornfields is what caused the huge debris ball that went up 20,000 feet?

I think it'll be pretty active, with a above average warm gulf

Oh yeah… I completely forgot about THAT.

*sigh*

Then again, I have to wonder what affect this hurricane season will have on the upcoming fall severe weather season. I don’t know too much about hurricanes (hence my silence on the board recently lol), but do hurricanes “suck up” all of the warmth out of the gulf when they pass over the water, not leaving any moisture for severe season? If so I guess the water would have time to heat up again?? Or is the temp of the water not affected by hurricanes going over it? I have no idea how hurricanes affect water temp AFTER they pass…. at all ha ha

In any case, thanks for the heads up..

*facepalms*

They up well the water. The churning of the sea allows cooler water to rise to the surface.
 
Of course, that all depends on whether any hurricanes are able to form around or pass through the Gulf. If not, then the water will continue to simmer more or less unabated. We'll just have to see how this year's hurricane season plays out in relation to the Gulf...

I would expect at least one more tropical/hurricane threat in the Gulf especially in October. With that being said, it wouldn't take the Gulf that long to warm right back up even if another tropical system moved through. Take 2021 for example. We had Claudette, Elsa, Fred, Ida, Mindy, and Nicholas all in the Gulf. Even with that, we had the highest number of tornadoes in October with 150, November with 21, and December at 227. November was the least active.

I forgot about October… oops.

I guess another question is how similar conditions between this year and 2021 (besides the temp) are? Might be too early

I believe Mayfield was December 2021 :oops:
