Hoth

For sure. I was just pointing out he was considering that spot yesterday.

Man, too bad Wiz didn't walk to the top of East Rock. I bet that was an epic show.

This accords with what my family in the area is reporting.

Took the old venerable oak down at the base. Car is under there somewhere.

Lol, Hamden seems to do severe right these days.

Aunt reports her car crushed, driveway blocked and wires down everywhere.

Neighbor's house has several trees down in the yard. Of course I wasn't home lol. FML.

Mum reports yard is covered in maple branches. Impressive considering we just lost a ton a few weeks ago.

Facing the wrong direction unfortunately.

Mother in Hamden reports it is pitch black. Can barely see the birch in their yard. Lightning and whipping trees.

Wiz in a good spot. My aunt was in the inflow notch area of the first storm in Watertown and reports wind and raining buckets.

Two tornado warned cells now. Good luck west of the river folks. You finally pulled one off lol.

Wish I was in Hamden for this. Gonna be a wild afternoon there.

These showers and cloud debris need to clear out. 70 with occasional breaks of sun. Also, wind suddenly sprang up from the south.

Cloud debris, as usual.

I remember there was a day maybe ten or twelve years ago that looked like a historic NE outbreak. I seem to recall the SPC had a 10 or 15% hatched tornado for us in the outlook. Shear was awesome, instability was sufficient, strong trigger....but we overlooked the lapse rates, which were awful. Lo and behold, whatever updrafts tried to go up were feeble and just got blown over by the shear. Brutal bust, so painful I can't even recall when that day was. Edit: found it. June 6, 2010. 80 kt jet, 60 kt bulk shear, raging llj, 45% hatched wind, 10% tornado. Epic epic bust.

Candidate for reanalysis upgrade ex post facto at the very least.

Lapse rates of like 5 degrees would probably work. Don't think the atmosphere will oblige us. Maybe the warm front gets hung up across NY and never makes it in here...

You need to change your name to Damage In Southbury.

6/1/11 in eastern NY perhaps.

Dude must have his eyelids surgically grafted open. Blink on that drive, and you dead.

Firenado warnings flying tomorrow?

Have we had a hurricane Pat before?

If we're going to anthropomorphize storms by giving them human names, use any gender pronoun you wish as far as I'm concerned.

I can't get excited for severe until I know Wiz is trapped scoring a baseball game or something.
