The pink sky has to do with the sun setting, not the severity or any strength-related aspect of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds ahead of the storm were out of the west as expected, but suddenly switched out of the south, causing rainsheets to hit my front door, which is unusual. That would make sense iif the strongest winds went just south. I'm mobile - did buoys in the harbor report anything of note, around Robins Reef?

Cfa Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 That shelf cloud was an epic "trailer" for a rather underwhelming storm. Oh well, at least I got some decent pictures. Shelf cloud from Southeast Queens: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
