At a softball field in Wellesley just north of the storm. Lots of thunder, but it looks like it'll stay south of us?

Drove through that cell at the 3/93 split. Heavy rain, lots of lightning, but nothing being blown around from what my passenger and I could see.

Rain at Loudon, but doesn't look too bad otherwise

Yep. Although brighter than it was in Hooksett a couple of hours ago.

Heh... I would have a few, but I'm driving today. Going to enjoy the day regardless of what happens though.

At the Hooksett plaza and nothing screams severe like 65* and sheet drizzle...

Not chasing on purpose, but heading up to Loudon this morning. Hopefully things stay further north until after 6:00pm, but latest HRRR run cuts it close.

Heh... Of course NASCAR brings the rain/severe as they are in Loudon this weekend.

Cooled off significantly once the rains started

Bah... Figures. Thanks.

I don't ask questions like this much and it's hard for me to tell from the meso models, but does the line push past where the BD is and inside 128? (We have outdoor plans around 6:00 and don't want to be caught off-guard.)

Typical summer thunderstorm. A few rumbles of thunder and some gusty rain showers.

Gusty storm with lightning and heavy rain, but not really severe.

Boom...

Warning up

Yeah, those cells just blew up.

Litte bit more before! (Camera enhancement of course...)

Maybe a little green?

In a dark as possible park in Newtonville, but hard to tell if the glow to the north is it or normal light pollution...

Bah... I was inside watching a show and completely forgot about the timing of the first wave.

Yeah, some of the photos from the OT thread are nuts. Best northern lights show in a long time just about a month after the eclipse? Great time for sky phenomena in NNE.

Might not last long, but suddenly turned into a beaut of an afternoon in Needham.

Figured I'd share my getting home story, although it isn't as epic as some of the other ones already posted. Not sure how I managed to beat a bunch of traffic heading home after leaving Lyndonville, but I did. Guess I was ahead of everyone who wanted the extra minute of totality further north? Left a little before 4:00pm and took 5 south past the golf course and into St. J. Made a bit of a mistake taking Hospital Drive as it was packed getting up the hill to 91. From there it was really slow going to the 93 off ramp, but I decided to risk 91 to 89, and it turned out to be the right idea. 91 was slow, but moving ok and got to West Lebanon for dinner around 6:30. Where I went was super busy and I didn't leave there until 7:30. 89 was also slow for a while, but it somehow broke up south of Sunapee and was normal highway speed for a while until just north of 93 in Concord. Google directed me off at exit 2 onto really local roads around to exit 12 on 93. I'd guess I saved a number of minutes there. Made it to the southbound Hooksett rest area at 9:00 for a brief stop and after the tolls, it wasn't much worse than after a race at Loudon. Got home a little bit after 10:00, tired from day's driving, but absolutely worth it. I will absolutely try for Colorado in 2045.

That might have been the coolest thing I've ever seen...

Wow....
