Hurricane Agnes Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wow, this is one long anvil, lol. I can hear some light rumbles and felt a little vibration. That's how it started here. A couple low rumbles. Then the rains came with some wind, thunder lightning. But we are now going through a round 2 with alot of lightning and thunder plus the rain. Mt. Holly put up a Flood Advisory for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yeah, I'm starting to see flashes. EDIT: Just saw some lower level clouds pass by and I noticed they were going in the opposite direction the storm was moving? Eh, probably just weenie thoughts but i thought that was interesting. Rumbles getting louder, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Weak here. 21 mph gust and 0.37" of rainfall. Great light show after it passed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 not that impressive here at all windwise but had a few very close lightning strikes. heavy rain as well. any damage reports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumbles getting louder, Should of known that it was a sign for that spin up. Pretty tight couplet along with low correlation coefficient values turning the time probably means there was a tornado.

BBasile Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A completely unexpected strike I captured a little while ago. Was shooting the cumulonimbus way off in the distance because it was lighting up like a Christmas tree, and then this strike came out of nowhere.

BBasile Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks guys. Not sure where that strike originated from. There were no other strikes even remotely close to that one, so it could have traveled a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Here we are in mid-July and no 90+ days here in NW Chester County. This coming Sunday July 19th will be 2 years since we last hit the 90 degree mark - 89.7 on July 19, 2013. The highest so far this month was the 83 yesterday - KMQS also without a 90+ day has hit 84 for their highest so far this month, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
