Rib Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I was sitting here and one of those small storms moved in. The other ones had no lightning, just downpours. I hear a downpour, assume it's just another downpour all of a sudden, *CRASH* right outside my window. I didn't even see the lightning. Scared the heck out of me.

Just had that happen here. was up to 0.90 for the system last I checked though just had the heaviest downpour of the day so probably well over that now. For the month already 3+ inches of rain. and late next week through next weekend looks super stormy and wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There will still be showers around though, but I should be good. Really coming down now, pounding the roof big time. I love these nighttime storms like this, great to fall asleep to. Even if I have to get up at 2:30am, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmagan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I see a lightning strike to a house in Monmouth county NJ was relayed to NWSFO Philly by OKX. I wonder how often people submit storm reports to different WFO's obviously not knowing what CWA they are in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still getting absolutely dumped on down here, cell after cell keeps training over the area. Looks like it may be finally be pushing east though. Good, get rid of this damn humidity.

phlwx Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I even tweeted Pocono Raceway and Brandon, the president of Pocono BEFORE the warning was issued...because my friend was west of there and called me and said it's the craziest lightning storm he's ever been in...moments after I tweeted them, they issued tweets and PA annoncements warning of the storm....yet NASCAR kept the cars on the track.... WHAT GIVES???????? IfNASCAR had halted the race, it would have given people in the stands a reason to believe what was coming... They have an idiotic system in place regarding determining severe weather impacts...the track owners determine evacs due to weather and NASCAR determines whether the race goes or not. It should be a singular decision...either track or NASCAR can pull the trigger on calling the race due to weather. I'm curious to know how much communication the track put out over the PA system...they're saying they broadcast a couple of warnings about the storm coming in over the PA but also over twitter/fb.

SmokeEater Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^ what app is that? It's called idamage, great app, I think it's 1.99, but worth it. You get all damage reports for the day, along with outlooks, plus you can go back a number of years, and get archived reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Took several pictures earlier this evening our at Valley Forge. Nothing severe but had a decent gust front. Even my dog helped keep an eye on things Our Boston Terrier used to hate thunderstorms. Nice pictures. This was our first CoCoRahs/Wxcoder morning report that we reached 1.00" of rain or greater (ok 1.01") since late April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsu_wxgirl Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This is my first Boston...love him to death. I call him my storm chaser. If I have our balcony door open and there is a storm in the distance he goes out and looks up at the sky like "hey, what's going on?" He seemed to be fine yesterday until the gust front was right on top of us and then he keep pulling us towards the car like he was ready to leave. The gust front was pretty awesome coming through Valley Forge I must say...I think I found the perfect spot to go watch storms from now on. Our Boston Terrier used to hate thunderstorms.

One is actually hiding under her blanket, close CTG strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsu_wxgirl Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I agree...we parked in the parking lot next to the Arch and walked across the road to a field for pictures. I felt like that kept us close enough to the car yet I could get some nice pictures. I couldn't believe the number of people still running/riding bikes that acted like they had no clue a storm was coming. I kept checking the radar on my iphone and made the decision to get back in the car when the gust front was approaching and could hear the thunder becoming more frequent.
