Pattern August Rush 2020

Should storm again soon for me, while I haven't been noting the totals, I think we've racked up 1.5" or so in the last week.
 
Highest wind gust I’ve heard of on local news or TWC in Iowa was 112mph! Cedar Rapids and nearby, had 70-100 mph winds for 30-45 minutes straight!!

We usually do get some kind of August cool spell.

Although this is still just Saturday AM cartoons on a Happy Hour run, it would be cold enough for near record lows in the Midwest down into TN/far N AL should it verify closely.
 
Weird looking at my local 5 day on NWS and seeing 50-60% pops every day.....crazy how hard it flipped here from literally less than .50" in a month to raining everyday since the hurricane.....probably had 5-6" at least in the last week......honestly though this is a dangerous pattern, we get a lot of rain and fill up the rivers and then a another slower tropical system comes around and it means big flooding threats again.
 
This is agri supply store in Greenville. It butts up against a drainage ditch and it flooded their outdoor tractor attachment area. This area is prone to flooding. The second picture is across the highway and had a some flooded businesses. Heaviest rain I have seen in a minute today. It POURED.

Sweet little night time soaking here in Chattanooga.. only thing I like about summer. Night time rumbles and then a fading rainstorm cooling things off.
 
When was the last time our region was affected by a derecho? I know we get them, but not as often as up north.

Probably in early April 2011. Not many high end gusts with it, but very widespread gusts to 60-70 mph. I think every county in SC and nearly every county in NC had wind reports with it.

The Southeast U.S. Derecho of 4 April 2011

Apparently that was the worst Midwestern derecho in over a decade. Hope Mack ( @Tarheel1 ) and his property are ok! Has he reported in yet? I heard a rumor he may have slept through it somehow.
