wxeyeNH Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Worst lightning storm I've ever been in. House almost hit by a CG...it knocked out part of my wx station but the power stayed on. We were in the window watching when it hit...the gf is scared ****less right now...lol. It was an awesome night show though...continuous IC CG and CC. I actually have never seen as many CC bolts in a storm here as I did tonight. I was going to grab my camera to take some time exposures of your cell as it passed 10 miles or so south of me but got lazy. Garden variety storm here, .30" definately more rain just south. Time to finally dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I forgot how much I hate seeing wrn MA and NH getting smoked. At least you'll get a nice light show in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Almost an hour of continuous light show! Heavy rain and hail only lasted about 20 minutes. The rumbles are all S & E of here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Lightning display through the trees and the low rumble of thunder in the distance. Could be ok here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Looks like the southern section, west and southwest of Noho might form into a bowing segment. Less hail embedded in that part of the line, and less shear, but strong straight line winds. I have a quarter mile walk to the car, so I'm going to take the opportunity to get out of here now.

Modfan Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 At least you'll get a nice light show in the distance. Didn't think I would be able to see it this far east, but pretty impressive indeed! Like fireworks going off in the next town, yet clear skies here. Think this line cuts any further south into CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Southern edge of line now developing down in Dutchess Co NY on that outflow boundary. N CT should get in on some of the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well, that was cool, the worst is passing to the east now. Lots of rain fell in a short time here. So much for that .10" for the week the KFS was showing. Box nailed this week. Close to 3" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
