August 9th Pictures
This is a picture that was taken from my driveway looking north-northeast. This picture shows the dark clouds ahead of the downpours of the squall line on this date. It was not yet nightfall and my light turned on so you can tell it was quite dark out.
This is the leading edge of the squall line or the shelf cloud. This is the point where the gusty winds begin. I did not receive any significant gusts but a local school recorded a 53mph gust which is approaching severe limits. There was also minor tree damage on the UW Parkside Campus.
