We’re still actively collecting data. Activity has been rather minimal across the networks for the last couple weeks (SHAVE has been down since the start of the new semester).

Hurricane Isaac made landfall last week, primarily affecting regions outside the LMA domains. Convective rain bands moved over the FL-LDAR network on 27 Aug, though they produced very little lightning (the MLB office had 2 preliminary storm reports for the day though likely in regions out-of-range of the FL-LDAR system).

Severe storms occurred over the northern Alabama network on 2 Sept 2012 as the remnants of Isaac moved eastward out of Arkansas and into the Tennessee Valley. 21 preliminary severe wind reports were recorded in the Huntsville county warning area with these storms.
