stemwinder Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can't tell what my gauge picked up until I get back from vacation. Radar estimates for both days suggest between 3 and 5 inches. In the entire sequence, from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning, my rain gauge totaled 5.29 inches. More than 3.11" in the great downpour on Monday evening. Yesterday in north Princeton there was a sunset second to none, with the cirrus and clear air. Sorry I did not bring a camera along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm surprised there was no report of a downburst where I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Sorry kinda off topic, but planning a trip to Allentown Pa on Sunday for Dorney park and wanted to know if I'll hit rain? Forecasts are calling for a 60% chance rain. Thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Welp, apparently the storm is supposed to hit my area at 8:45, or at least it goes right over my house at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 0.50 in the last 15 minutes here. nastiest t-storm of the season. some wind (not severe) , vivid lightning / thunderous booms. torrential rain. Something like that just passed through here in W Windsor. Won't measure rain till later. A brief 10-15 minute volley of close CG bolts. More coming, I'm sure. UPDATE as of midnight, .48" for the storm. Looks as though that is it for this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rib Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Just had a very close lightning strike. The line has moved southeast but there is still lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rib Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Am I the only one who was legitimately scared by that lightning behind the squall line? I've been close to lots of lightning strikes during storms and the sound is a crash followed by a low rumble. These were crashes followed by a series of crashes almost like the ones I experienced when I was filming lightning behind those storms around sunset earlier in the month.

I've been close to lots of lightning strikes during storms and the sound is a crash followed by a low rumble. These were crashes followed by a series of crashes almost like the ones I experienced when I was filming lightning behind those storms around sunset earlier in the month. Didn't have a chance to be scared. The lightning was mostly IC by the time it reached me. This is the only shot of lightning I got tonight. The massive shelf was impressive, though.

Rib Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I found this video of what the thunder sounded like. Note how long it lasts and how there are multiple crashes after the first one. Great photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks. I captured thunder like that last year except there were like 6 claps separated by maybe half a second. Strange sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
