Well...I dunno if this really counts since the high risk only lasted one outlook.
BUSTIMUS MAXIMUS!
However, that didn't prevent somebody from being killed by being in the wrong place at the wrong time when straight-line winds blew over a tree in Jackson, Mississippi.
*** 1 FATAL *** TREE BLOWN OVER ON MAPLE STREET IN NORTHWEST JACKSON. THE TREE LANDED ON A MAN. (JAN)
You bet. :wink: Later this week I'm planning a major update for it since I found a whole bunch of convective outlooks and PSWOs from the mid-1990s, including several for days that I had missed entirely.
THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVR PTNS OF MN..SERN SD..NRN IA..MUCH OF WI..AND UPPER MI.
Looked up that day in John Hart's database...seems there were 12 tornadoes across Wisconsin including 2 F3s, and 4 fatalities. Odd that I can't find any write-ups or information about that day in any of the WFO's event summaries sections. :?
I believe one of those F3's passed just a few miles south of my house, through Foster, WI. Its one of the events that first got me interested in severe weather. Unfortunately it caused at least 2 of those fatalities.
