I won't forget that freakin' sound..lol. Of course, it was kind of cool.

i was out "chasing" a daytime cell in '08 that got svr warned...had a big c-t-g strike a 100 yrds +/- from me. pretty freaky stuff. about 10 seconds before it happened the interior of my truck was suddenly loaded with static...all the hairs on my arms were standing up. my Tundra was basically in corona....thought i was about to get struck. and it was so loud at first i thought the truck had been hit.

BDL might not make it today. of course, officially they will have because they were like 72 or something at midnight...but it's been falling since. maybe they'll recover some late today as this first batch of rain moves east.

Once the rain stops here over the next hr and we see those breaks that are out in NY state they should shoot up to 72-73 pretty easily

Wow, that's awesome. There were some good storms down that way in '08.

One of the posters took this shot right near where I had a very similar experience in 09 in Windham CT4177f2fe-0e56-89ca.jpg

It looks like maybe later in the day we'll see some more stuff roll through with our next disturbance. Perhaps a decent chunk of the day dry, but there might be some sct stuff around.

I really hope you guys are right! It can rain all night Thursday as long as the afternoon is dry. [/fingerscrossed]

yeah they may very well recover back to the 70s if things dry out....easy to do this time of year if you see any sun.

unless the sun really goes nuts though, bad MAV bust.

70/66

just had an awesome shower roll through quenching the parched landscape. Humidity is impressive, hopefully we get some breaks this afternoon and make a run at 80.

You really think the landscape is parched? BDR is +0.48 in the rainfall department this month. After a May in which the departure was +1.58 following an April that was +0.64? For the year BDR is +18%, so your area has had some decent positive departures, especially recently, without much in the way of hot scorching temps.

Yes snowman, I do, I work outside for a living......the insanely low dews sat sun and mon along with brilliant sunny skies sapped the moisture out of the top 6 inches of soil, roses, hydrangea, and some lawns were showing signs of stress due to the dry soil.

it's a scary sensation.

About 3 summers ago i was standing in my garage watching a storm and a tree about 1/4 of a mile away in my neighborhood got hit. I was leaning up against one of those metal guide things that the automatic garage door wheels go up and down when you open/close them..and as the strike occurred I got a pretty nasty shock that actually made me lose my footing a bit..even being that far away from the CTG

lightning does freaky stuff. i know plenty of people (scooter now almost being one of them) who have had electronics ruined by strikes that were pretty indirect - kind of like you are saying with a tree pretty far away.

yeah maybe - if it was it was early in the month(?) because i was thinking late july in my mind. i don't recall the exact date but it was a midday / early afternoon type of deal.

I got stuck in one on a Saturday on the Wellfleet/Truro line that was dropping quarters. It was nasty. A couple days later I was back in Wellfleet at the Beachcomber and there were some nasty gusts (50-55 knots) and hail.

2 severe storms in 4 days on the outer cape is pretty impressive.

there were a couple of really good cells that summer. actually some really picturesque ones too.

that area from wellfleet north to PVC can do OK for storms. sometimes the stuff that moves off of plymouth county holds on long enough to get that region. especially PVC. they get smoked relatively often because it's a really short distance across the bay there and the cells don't feel the marine influence as much from the SW flow off of buzzards bay & the sound.

It's kind of open where I live, and up on a very small hill. I don't what it is, but 2 triple deckers have been hit within a half mile of me in the past two years. Before the pole next to my place got hit, lightning took out some lines about 2 blocks from me during June 1st. I don't have too many trees that tower over 30-40' buildings to act as lightning rods, so I guess that explains it.

My whole neighborhood is built on ledge..in fact we have quite a bit of it in the woods behind our house..so it seems like a tree or 2 every summer gets hit in the neighborhood..but luckily no homes.

I hink i told this story before, but my sister in laws house in Norfolk ,Mass got hit by lightning 5 or 6 summers ago while they were at the cape and caused a major fire and the house had to be demolished and rebuilt
