Fresh off the Tornado Watch on yesterday, I was searching for other severe weather events in the area this year. On July 19th, this past summer, I’ve been to told a tornado touched down in the Smith Creek Reserve; or about 3 miles west of my home. For me, 3 miles west of Parthenon, it was a severe storm (un-predicted by the NWS); no warning was issued. On the tails of a hot (104F) day with high dew-points (75 degrees); the temperature reached 102F at 5 PM; at the simultaneous time; the falling barometer bottomed out at 29.71 and the windspeed hit 28 MPH in a downpour. Rains feel between 5 and 7 PM recording 0.50. The cloud to ground lightning was continuous and just west; I could view a very dark and lowering thunderstorm cloud to the west also; but it never reached Murray Road.
The NWS still issued no warnings but did issue a Special Weather Statement for the Lost Valley Area, to my northwest of me.

Hmmm. I wasn’t at home at the time but my neighbors said it happened about half past eight. I am amazed at how much and how often the weather stations around here differ from one another. Mine is uploading again. I had been having trouble with the Internet connections.
my graph shows and my recollection is that it stormed until after 9 PM that evening. Steve
