It's about time a cold front came through. The heat was nice at first, but is getting old.

LOL. Thanks Greg. Guess I don't check in on the weather forum often enough.

When is the last time we saw our forcast come out of Norman OK?

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

I used to think hearing that was a big deal, turns out i have that forecast everyday til sept for where i live now.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I always wanted to see a tornado

 

[Moe Ghoul]

I've seen water twisters off the FLA coast, pretty cool to see.

 

[o3jeff]

Looks like it is on its way Greg, better get the family, skis and bikes and head to the basement and wait this out.:-D

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

I just watched on the news a tornado miss disney by 2miles , now its about 25miles east , it was only an F1 but watching people chasing it on the orlando news at 5 was fun.

WE dodged a bullet here --Its beautiful here very sunny and COOLER 70 degrees ! We had a 2 VERY mild rain events --no thunder , lightning , hail OR high winds ! Didn't even shut our windows , Beautiful cool summer breezes now


Whereas a half hr south and east of here all hell broke loose , a few deaths ,many without power and a general mess in several counties . One sighting of a funnel cloud , several homes severely damaged by falling trees etc

A severe microburst went thru here about 3:30. Power was out for 4 hours. Trees down everywhere, three places on our road trees knocked down power lines. Road was blocked in several places. Talking about 100 yards of road. Lightning stuck one tree that took down the lines. The sharp crack of the strike was awesome. I love it when mother nature excerts herself Two trees hit the house no major damage.

GMP did an amazing job dealing with the trees and getting the line back up.

Bad shot during the 30 second event.

We had torrential downpours and a two massive lightning storms. I was over at my parents house and the power was out..when I drove back to my place..there were downed trees everywhere and lots of closed roads. Serious flooding in low lying areas from I'm guess 2+ inches of rain in an hour. Now it's down to 66 degrees but my apartment is uber hot because the AC was off when the power was out and I was gone with the windows down..oh well..2 inches new snow in Whitefish Montana

Front is just getting to the CT border now. Looks like the storms are holding together despite the sun going down. Giddyup!

 

[Greg]

Wow. The winds just picked up out of nowhere. I have large oak trees around my house and weather like this always makes me nervous.

 

[o3jeff]

Watching the news now and it looks like the rain is just starting to hit you now Greg. The wind is really starting to gust here now.

Looking at the radar, it looks like you're gonna get whacked worse than me. Enjoy!

 

[o3jeff]

Its here and it is pouring here now with the wind blowing. Hopefully the last windstorm took out all my weak pine tree branches. Also watching the temp drop really fast too outside.

 

[Johnskiismore]

We just had the second wave of storms blow through. First one had a lot more punch when it came by at 9PM. Lightning, thunder and wind were sick!

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

downed tree right outside my window..I think lightning struck it..too bad it didn't crash into my place..I could use a nice insurance check..

Pretty good one here last night at around 11:15. Wind was very strong (70 MPH recorded down the street) and some great lightning shows. Power stayed on here but there were pretty big outages all over the county. Amazing walking out to a chilly-feeling 72 degrees this morning. I love watching these storms come in... would've been cooler to be able to see it in the day but the light show was amazing.
