Parsley Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well, this is it for me in the Philly-area forums. Last day in W-B today, outside of the breaks. Have fun at UNV! Fun place to live (atleast for a few years). Lots of good places to eat, drink and meet new people! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boch23 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Entering the third hour of thunderstorms down here in wildwood crest. Constant lightning loud thunder and quite a few sizzles and booms. Pretty enjoyable night after a lousy cloudy beach day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Probably a decent waterspout just SE of Cape May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Probably a decent waterspout just SE of Cape May. Yeah you can see it really well on GR3, that storm is spinning like a top. Actually has a real classic supercell look to it on reflectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nobody is sleeping in Cape May tonight, lol. I'm an hour north of there, and I can hear a constant low rumble, even this far north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nobody is sleeping in Cape May tonight, lol. I'm an hour north of there, and I can hear a constant low rumble, even this far north. The line was shifting but it redeveloped right over us. This was one of the worst lighting storms i've been through. There were at least 4 strikes within a 1/2 mile of my house including the house next to our was struck FD is still on scene. It apparently melted the gas lines to the house. It was at atlantic and sweet briar ave in wc. Not to mentioned i talked to another neighbor And it was the worst flooding he has seen the 15 years he has been living here. My heart is still racing kind of hope thats it for the night. Very violent lightning. Took pictures of the flooding which i will share as soon as i can. And i'll have more details when my head stops spinning. Also there is street flooding in sea isle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard from some people I know in Cape May that the island is/was completely shut down, due to severe flooding. Now I'm just east of Woodstown in Salem County, and I can see constant lightning to my south, coming out of the top of the storm in S DE. Hopefully this won't come north at you also.

AlexD Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 In in that storm right now......constant lightning and thunder with torrential rain.....this is our 15th hour of such conditions....yes I said 15th hour.....this **** started at 330 this afternoon.......part of Rehoboth Beach are flooded, I'm sure there's power outages, home rain gauge is reporting 2.50 inches of rain so far. Never in my whole life have I seen a storm like this.....it's like a mini Tropical Storm...Im amazed the atmosphere has enough energy in it to sustain thunderstorms for this long...

Bliz299 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Here at Cape May 2NW 3.80" yesterday(Sat.) and .57" today as of 8am. That's a total of 4.37". Rainfall rates at times 2-3"/hour. Previous post about no one sleeping in Cape May is right on. From 8pm-mid. Lightning very vivid often and subsequent thunder window shaking and then some as well. No wind to speak of. My highest gust was about 25mph. Haven't had this kind of thunder activity in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boch23 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Just a follow up. Lightning also struck the ground on the other side of my house....we were very luck last night 2 lightning strikes within 50 feet of my house. THe first house I told you about, the lightning struck the outside gas line then started a fire in the wall which filled the houses with smoke rather quickly. Thankfully the fire didn't spread and every one got out safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
