hm8 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Wow. Again, despite not being hit by any storms I've seeing some of the best looking views of these storms I've ever seen here in SEMI. Off about 15 miles to my south now there's some huge towers, with a great light show. If only the mosquitoes weren't so damn bad I'd stay out and watch it...

on_wx Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hands down that was the worst storm I have experienced. The line is 50 miles SE of here but the CG is still continuous. It's been over two hours of, say, you have strobe lights flashing in every window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 storm in oakland county is starting to bow out. Looks very similar to the storm they had on Sat. Bit further north this time. Not very much wind or even heavy rain here, but again a ton of lightning. Albeit most of it was cloud-cloud, but huge streaks all the way across the sky. Good stuff.

London snowsquall Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Crazy storms and the lightning was absolutely continuous. I rarely head to the basement, but the whole famiy and a couple of guests were down there for about an hour in this one. We don't get tornado warnings that last at least an hour like what happened this evening. I sure hope there is not another Goderich that I don't know about yet.

Yeah, news on this outbreak is really slow right now. There were reports of a tornado that hit Parkhill. Have you heard anything since it's local? Still having insane lightning here it just won't end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
