Spectacular stretch for sure. Soak it in.

Interesting. They are all over my place.

We brisk.

Beautiful day. Not gonna do anything for people's pool temps, but otherwise just great.

Nice tower going up to my north. Something's popping.

It's like Groundhog Day down here. Third day of cool cloudy conditions followed by evening heavy rain.

Where is Ray? I feel like he hasn't posted in a while. Does he not do the warm season?

Tippy stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. You wanna really have some stellar fun, check out strange matter inside neutron stars. Weird wild wacky stuff.

For sure. My herbs are going gangbusters. Peonies are popping now too. Just lush lush verdure this year.

So much freaking rain.

Holy crap in eastern PA. What is that, six tornadoes warnings simultaneously? Impressive couple days there.

Few rumbles, but nothing to blow my skirt up yet. Impressive event down towards PA/NJ.

Think we can sneak into the warm sector down here? Warm front seems to be making progress, but a long way to go. Decent clearing out in PA. Could be a siggy event out there for someone.

Well said.

Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?

Definitely a summer feel today. A man could go for a vanilla milkshake...with bourbon.

My folks planted one in their yard when my brother was born. It's as tall as the house now and a beautiful tree. Who knew all the seedlings they pull every year could be so valuable with a little more tending?

My swimming pool is the ocean. Sadly it is still frightened-turtle level cold. And there was a great white sighting recently to boot. We'll wait.

Speaking of the Hamden tornado, my godparents' house was right at the edge of the worst damage. I remember there was an oak tree near them that had a slate shingle buried like a hatchet a good four or five inches into the trunk. Was a curiosity in the neighborhood for years afterwards. We had a couple trees down in my yard and a couple broken windows from hail, though we were a good mile+ away. I also remember chunks of the roof of the Albertus Magnus College gym were deposited on East Rock and were hanging in the trees for a long time after.

Agree. Check out the structure on this thing.

Thanks! Forgot about that beast. Still the deadliest in CT history I believe.

Just curious which events you're referring to. I'm assuming October '79 and June '53? What was the August event? Derecho? I'd say May '98, July '89 and June '11 deserve inclusion as well.

Wasn't there a February tornado up in Mass a couple years ago?
