Ellinwood Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Good summertime thunderstorm Wasn't severe by me, but there was plenty of lightning. Heard a bunch of sirens just a few minutes ago... power went out briefly at the apartment and came back on 25 minutes ago (I went out to a small park to watch the storm).

Avdave Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 This town has a curse on it. Last few times we had thunderstorms we get fringed and .01 falls in rainfall. Last night/early this morning was a great light show, rained for 15 mins, few rumbles of thunder but lightning was the main factor in those Today around 430 or so, outflow boundary kicked up here, winds were strong, lots of leaves and debris blown around. I was in downtown Leesburg and the skies opened up with some Heavy Rain, thunder and 2 CTG strikes. Went home a few miles away, it got drier and drier, and we got 87 raindrops here, just some wind and few rumbles of thunder. Fringed again. Lawn is like straw. :axe: :axe: Northern part of Leesburg to Lucketts got a good rain out of it though, I need to move to Lucketts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormitecture Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah not too much a tad south of you, Mark. I technically didn't even make it into the warning boxes. I did shot my first ever storm video from my new iPhone: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=_DZaQydjx4s Not sure it's done processing yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Pretty boring storm. Wind gust to possibly 30mph, 10 minutes of heavy rain, and no close CG strikes. I'll take the rain. Every little bit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdevil02 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Nice storm here. No wind to speak of, but torrential rain and some nice close lightning. I'll definitely take this.

Ian Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Got it pretty good in the city.. probably the best severe storm of the yr. Here's a cell phone vid (TWC requested to use it, see if they do)--worst wind came with the rain. Lots of small objects blown around.. didnt go looking for damage.
