Getting hit right now with the 4th storm since 7 AM. 3 have triggered severe warnings although none of them have really been severe. Just a bunch of rain and lightning and light wind gusts. Not nearly as bad as that storm earlier in the month after the 100 degree day.

These storms the last few days, while localized, have been real frequent nd putting down a bunch of water if your in that small corridor where they've been hitting.

Just need to get a cold front with some gusto to push through from the West and get things moving in the atmosphere with respect to that really stubborn upper level low parked over Eastern Canada the last 10 days or so.

We had a real ripper of a storm come through last night around 10:30. Lots of loud thunder and lightning and the rain was roaring down. I heard there were reports of hail in my town on the news this morning.

That missed us for the most part, we heard some thunder and saw some lightning flashes, but it didn't seem that bad. Not bad enough to pause the movie and go check it out at least.. ;)

Looks like we might have a little rain moving through here in a bit, which kinda sucks since my bike is on the roof of my car at the moment...

Free bath.

Hopefully that will be the last of it and the trails dry out nicely for us.

Wow, we just got nailed with a bunch of 1/4 - 1/2 inch hail. Wife ran out to the garden to throw a sheet on the plants. I'm not so fast these days. Looks like only a couple branches got knocked off the tomato plants.

Ive had a thunderstorm here in Orlando 14 of the last 17days. I used to think i saw some bad storms up in CT but they pail in comparison to how intense they are here and how long they can last, the lightining is amazing here.
