Crazy Storm Weather and Lightning - Global

Another video of the storm that hit Corsica, but this was taken by cctv on the coast of Italy. About half way into the video you get an up close view of just how wild it got - it's best to follow the link and watch it in big screen on FB:

Amazing storm yesterday morning in Italy on the Ligurian coast, in Sestri Levante. Destructive downbursts that could be estimated > 150km/h, giving an idea of what happened more or less at the same time in Corsica.

 
Satellite charts

I retrieved the satellite charts from the Corsica event in the morning of 18 Aug 2022. These thunderstorm clusters were of very powerful, explosive nature, as well had a high speed, crossing over Corsica, and railing against the coast of Italy.

The time stamp is shown in normal UTC time without summer time, i assume

STA, 18 August 2022 - Fierce winds swept through Slovenia Thursday afternoon, ripping off roofs and toppling trees and other objects in parts of the country, leaving several people lightly injured in Ljubljana.

In Kranj, the winds peeled roofs off some 70 buildings. The Kranj fire brigade commander Andraž Šifrer told the STA more than 150 firefighters were on the ground to deal with the situation. "It's mostly uncovered roofs, ripped cables, trees fallen on roads and vehicles," he said.

Several people were injured by falling trees and other objects in Ljubljana, where the Environment Agency data shows winds gusted up to a record 102 kilometres an hour.

The wind blew away rubbish bins, billboards, roofs, traffic signs, building materials. Part of the roof of the Ljubljana UKC maternity ward was uncovered, but has since been mostly put back.



 
▪︎Mexico

Several weather systems caused intense and heavy rains in municipalities of Sonora in the north of Mexico.

After the water discharges registered during the last few days in the area of Guaymas, and Empalme, both municipalities were cut off due to damages to the structure of the roadways.

This Sunday morning, the State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC) reported that the El Valiente Bridge on the Hermosillo-Guaymas International Highway was damaged at kilometer 138.

Meanwhile, in the same section of the other direction of the Guaymas-Hermosillo highway, there is also a risk of collapse due to the passage of water.

The rains of the last few days caused flooding and families have been rescued. Many people have been affected by the Ortiz riverbank breakage.





▪︎ Texas

FOX 4 Weather Meteorologist Ali Turiano says this is the second-wettest 24-hour period ever in North Texas.

Some parts of the region have already gotten up to 10 inches of rain since Sunday night and that rain is expected to continue falling throughout the morning.

▪︎Pakistan

Flash floods caused by abnormally heavy monsoon rains have killed at least 777 people across Pakistan over the last two months and have displaced more than 300,000 people, according to officials.

▪︎About 300 of the 777 deaths have been reported since the start of August

▪︎1.8 million people have been impacted, with 317,678 living in relief camps

▪︎More than 60,000 Pakistan homes have been damaged by the floods

Authorities are setting up more relief and medical camps in remote areas in flood-hit south-western Baluchistan, southern Sindh and eastern Punjab provinces, where there has been significant damage.

The monsoon season runs from July through September, but 60 per cent of Pakistan's normal total monsoon rainfall has come in less than a month.

This is what the Pakistan Army guest house in Balochistan looks like after the floods.

▪︎North of Mexico, Chihuahua and Sonora with heavy rains

CHIHUAHUA. A heavy rain accompanied by wind caused several damages in the city, where streets and avenues turned into rivers in a matter of minutes.

Around 4:00 p.m. the first drops began to fall on the "Agricultural Capital of the State", but the light rain quickly turned into a downpour that flooded the roads in all sectors of the urban area.

In some parts of the city, water covered half of the vehicles, while in the south and west there were reports of water supply failures to homes.

The following video is just to comment on the heavy flooding that is happening right now in #Delicias ,#Cuauhtémoc and #Parral in the State of Chihuahua.
Heavy material damage and road chaos, as well as vehicles swept away by the strong current.


In Sonora, a man was rescued after being swept away by the rising current of a river near the municipality of Cumpas.
 
The worst flood ever in Pakistan happening right now. Heavy monsoon rainfall and floods have affected 30 million people in Pakistan since mid-June, destroying nearly 218,000 houses and damaging some two million more.

Since June 2022, floods caused by monsoon rains and melting glaciers in Pakistan have killed at least 1,128 people, including 340 children and six military officers in a helicopter crash, with over 1,700 more injured. It is the world's deadliest flood since 2017.On 25 August, Pakistan declared a state of emergency because of the flooding.

This event was from August 18th and was more of a flash flood/mudslide occurrence as reported on SOTT and shown in the accompanying videos.


That TicToc video does not resemble anything in the above report/videos, imo.

This event had not been reported in this thread since August 18 so I thought it appropriate to include it. Now, I didn't know this video was from a past flood, however if there are recent reports of floods.
