@696_daytona: Gotta represent the Merrillville Tornado The “Lake Michigan buffer” in Northwest Indiana refers to Lake Michigan’s tendency to stabilize the air near the shoreline. In summer, cooler lake air can weaken or delay thunderstorms approaching from Illinois, causing storms to split, lose intensity, or redevelop farther inland. In winter, the opposite can happen, with the lake adding moisture and energy that enhances lake-effect snow. The buffer is real, but it’s not a force field—strong severe weather can still cross the lake and impact NWI. The Lake Michigan buffer failed on 6/11/26, days of extreme heat and humidity created a highly unstable atmosphere. Strong winds and storm dynamics overwhelmed the cooler lake air, allowing severe thunderstorms to maintain strength as they moved into NWI. Allowing strong/violent tornado development in Indiana.

Wrong. The Great Lakes actually help build big storms.

I wish I would’ve SS’ed it. I was watching the wind radar cuz I live in Merrillville and you could see Lake Michigan was pulling all of the wind from 3 states directly to the center of the lake

i would be interested to see if those hardest hit counties had an influx of people who moved there. I published research on sudden severe weather and migration patterns
