Huge Thunderstorms!

Trekchick · Jun 13, 2008, 1:23 AM

Woke me up at 1 AM, and still pounding us.
Our tower just got hit at our office(175 ft Two Way radio tower).
Power's out but I have a bit of battery left in the lap top, and wanted to check the radar.

The weather we get here usually hits northern VT the following day. If it does, brace yourselves.
Hail, Wind, the whole gamut.

You should have driving through it like us. A lot of rain was falling quick on the highway. A lot of people pulled over to wait it out, while other's annoyingly crept along with their damn hazards on...

I lost power for a few minutes during the thunderstorms. Did anyone else here loose power? Oh, and it just started thundering as we speak. Is this thunder connected to the earlier storms or is it different?

I also lost power for a brief moment. Radar shows another line of potent T-storms ready to rumble across Western Connecticut. Time to batten down the hatches again!!

A good hour of heavy rain. About 90 minutes+ of thunder and lightning. I had a short window and went out to put down some fertilizer. Another storm is now steadily approaching.

Renamed this thread since we're talking about the NE now...

I think it's going to be a stormy night....

Just started here in Philly about 20 minutes ago, lotsa wind and noise, not much rain so far.
