Finally back and late to party but I was scared for first time in many years as events unfolded on Route 32 around 3pm I don’t even want to recount it so let me read the discussions
I’m in that barely moving dark red right on north beltway and north. Three brilliant lightning striked with instant thunder. 0.75” so far and a 2-2.5”ph rate. No wind and the lightning is the show
Temp dropped from 93 to current 79
Power out since 5 and tree down on a car with the wires but just 107 total outages so a small number and we are low priority. Plus it’s a Thursday holiday. The huge tree on University about 3 weeks ago put 900 out and we got prompt attention on that
One of the winters was warm, one average to mild, three cold. For snowfall One was well below average , three around average, one historic.
lets see if those years show up again in a different manner
