Storm last night at around 11:15 fried my big screen, that thunder and lightning was some of the worst I have seen and heard in a long time here.

 

 

That sucks. We lost a tv that way too

I had lightning come in on the cable about 2 years after we built the house, deep fried all 5 TV's and the converter boxes too!!!

It struck a utility box 1/4 mile away and traveled thru underground line. Got my house and the house directly across road, left the house between us and the direct hit alone. :huh:

Haha. Was just getting ready to brag that yesterday was second day this month with no rain.....and it started raining! So 2 days will stand through tomorrow it looks. I told son yesterday that it looks more like early May than end of July with all the 'greenness'.

EDIT- Yep there is 0.01, 2 days will hold.

The good news is it was a Mitsubishi big screen and I bought it 13 months ago, but after calling customer service even though it was slightly past the year warranty they agreed to fix it under warranty. It is a good thing they are so nice because it was the main board for the TV and it would have cost $800 if they did not fix it for me. My neighbor 2 doors down lost 2 TV's and 2 directv receivers with this storm so I guess I am lucky.

Global vs regional model brawl for tomorrow.  GFS and Euro have a nice day, clouds clearing and highs in the lower 80s.  NAM has afternoon rain after hitting 75, and the 4km NAM and both WRFs leave us in murk the whole day with afternoon highs in record low max territory (60s!).

 

Afternoon rain and 75, please.

 

Thanks for making this happen for me, MN.

We have a Mitsubishi big screen as well and the main board went bad a couple months past warranty and they fixed it at no cost anyway.  Great company.  The thing is a workhorse now at 12 years old.

 

Oh BTW -- for you folks on here that suggested buying the Radarscope app for $10...thanks!  It is superb.
