Every evening like clockwork for five days, from 6/11 to 6/15, a severe storm like this would come blasting through. The image is of the worst one on the 14th. The blue dot and arrow indicate my location, with the white arrows showing the direction of the storm. You can see a backwards C in the squall line where I'm at, that supposedly was the result of a big downburst that pushed ahead of the main line. A weather station 2 miles south of me reported a wind gust of 70 mph. Two tornado warnings spawned on the top and bottom of the C. No tornado was ever seen thankfully but trees were blown down all over town from the strong straight line winds.

The 1147 made it through unscathed thanks to the trees off to my west providing wind protection.
