I was in an eight foot sailboat I had made with a friend, I was about ten at the time, it was instant ten foot waves! I bought the boat into the rocks on the shoreline, I pulled my friend out of the water, the boat didn’t make it.
@@learnpianofastonline I heard there was 14 inches of rain which is unheard for a dericho since its a band of wind and rain. I imagine it was stratiform rain behind the line? Was there a wake low behind it with east winds?
Kris Grauel it was my first memory. If you can believe that. I remember. Being at a park near lake watching the fireworks . i saw the sky turn a sinister color like it was unnaturally dark in contrast to the grass. A wall off wind started kicking up blankets ,umbrellas and picnic supplies... Then i saw off in the distance what i later learned was a tornado. My mom tossed me into a stroller and started running . i remember looking down and seeing my red and white converse style shoes. Then i lifted off the ground the last thing i saw was a brick wall... My mom said it never happened. But i realizes that fireworks usually means the 4th of july so i had a date to search. And what would ya know. I was born in ohio
My grandma who lived in east lake at the time was at her grandmas farm in Fayette pa listening on the radio with her family
And still heard about it wow that's pretty powerful that in those days people all over the country knew what was happening in Cleveland!

Good job describing this neo tornado event Kris :-)
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it.
My inlaws live on w110 and edgewater, practically neighbors, they remember it too
That's awesome. I know that area like the back of my hand to this day.
I was born during this storm.
Wow that's profound! Where? Cleveland?
About 2 miles from Lakewood park on the west side of Cleveland.

Wow that's pretty scary! Were you near Edgewater park?
What direction did the dericho come from and the winds?
Straight out of the west. So did the winds.
