earthlight Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 The sky to my NE is pure pink, I have never seen anything like this. 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...
JonClaw Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that a downburst passed just south of me. 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?
