Huge Thunderstorms!

[Trekchick]

Pretty massive storms came through here this afternoon.
If they pick up steam on Erie and Ontario, you'll want to brace yourself. Huge Hail, and lightening.

PUNISHING STORM through Southern NH and ME last night. We escaped the brunt of it, but a swath for about 50 miles north of here and out to the ocean got nailed.

Two deaths reported from lightening

no full details, but reading that there were three small children in the house when it happened gives a horribly unsettling feeling.

Thursday afternoon was hot and humid with temperatures in the low 90s...then it got really dark and a huge line of Thunderstorms moved through. I drove 30 miles south to Lansdale in some very severre thunderstorms which dropped the temperature 20-25 degrees in a matter of seconds...then when I arrived in Lansdale..skys were clear and there wasn't even a drop of rain on the roads and people were playing softball..

I was at Hubbard Park in Meriden yesterday and there were a few trees uprooted and a lot of branches down from Saturdays storm. Odd thing was at my house that is 10 minutes away I had no rain or wind.

We got a spritz last nite, more wind and noise than rain, but I'll take it.

After June, the month of daily thunderstorms it seems, we've been pretty dry here for the past 7-10 days or so. Grass is browning out quickly.

weird, been the opposite here. June didn't seem too crazy as far as storms, but July we've been getting nailed.

Big time t-storm over my office in NE CT right now! Looks like someone is spraying a firehouse at the windows with how much water is coming down, we've had the power flash 3 or 4 times and atleast a half dozen thunder claps that have shaken the building here in the last 10 minutes or so

 

[Greg]

Renamed this thread since we're talking about the NE now... I think it's going to be a stormy night....

Oof.

 

[wa-loaf]

Oof.

Crap, didn't bring any rain gear with me and all that rain is going to hit when I leave the building. :evil:

There was major street flooding from T-storms around 5:20PM here...It poured like crazy for about 20 minutes and the water was four inches over the curb...then it cleared up and we're about to get another storm..the temperature dropped into the upper 60s and I shot off the AC and opened the windows for the first time in 2 weeks..Now we're about to have another T-storm..

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Ditto here, the main road at the bottom of the hill got hit with overflow and we had a line of traffic detouring all the way up our street.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It was kind of nice running in the thunderstorm today. That was a new one for me.

 

[Philpug]

The worst went through this afternoon with tornado warnings south of Boston. Calm and damp now.
