Heavy, heavy echos on the doorstep, but only a few rumbles of thunder. Hopefully it'll hold together--not sure if it will.

Any idea what streets (or where in the city) those were? I wonder if the Park theatre was Park ave.

This is pretty wild. I'm not sure I'd stop to pick up my umbrella like the guy did.

Meanwhile, back in 1955..... https://www.weather.gov/nerfc/hf_august_1955?fbclid=IwAR1WsC1WgUoW1BNRfjObTNEYia2YkBBTSy1-QGZdBX2hdUgPaaxR7YqmwAY Over 18" of rain in 24-hours in Westfield. Not too shabby.

Only for the summer months. During the winter, he's closer to PQI climo.

Half an hour of my life I'm not getting back.

I don't think he was the center. I think he's squarely on the border of NE and SE.

I'm not sure you're getting his joke. Did you miss the two pages of arguing the definition of CT geography yesterday? One of the most tedious exchanges in Discussion thread history.

Meanwhile, the rate of lowering sun angle is approaching the extreme point, greater than -.3*/day. Just between now and the end of the month we'll lose 32 minutes of daylight. Weather patterns be damned, seasons are changing.

I miss the Heath Fair.

Seems like it will have shit the bed by the time it gets here.

Better shot for you than to those of us down here. Righteous.

Distant rumbles now.

Up in NH?

At 827 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Northampton, moving east at 15 mph. HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts and quarter size hail. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Hail damage to vehicles is possible. Expect damage to trees and power lines.

Hopefully it'll stick together so we can get some thunder and rains out of it, too.

Litchfield and the rest of SE CT.

The line's looking pretty robust. This is so much better than the inane last two pages of parsing the geography of CT and RI.

Yeah, but that's heading into RI which for all intents and purposes is an extension of SE CT.

Wiz can't see himself naked.

Mute it.
