Never mind I checked lightning tracker this one went to my north.

 

 

I think you may get into the "shaft zone" again? Maybe not? Radar still looks well.

The distant lightning and thunder remind me of the movie "Poltergeist". One-one thousand....two - one thousand....(repeat)

Really heavy duty distant thunder and lightning strikes galore....

I am beyond words for how good this looked and how quickly it vanished, .15" and a breeze! Scraped by the Unami Forrest and bam dead. I need bacbuilding in the worst way or that venerable hose comes out tomorrow, and a double ouch the next 7 are dry.

don't worry red sky looking like lower bucks is headed right for the shaft zone as well while just to our north gets rocked. constant lightning in the distance but radar looks like we are going to split the uprights or the line will collapse before it gets here. seen this movie too many times...

My sister is in SE Montco and she just texted that her cable channels have been EASed on all channels telling them to go to the basement (I think because her Comcast cable comes out of Montco).

Impressive! That cell is huge and looks like it might make it to my woods.

Bugs/critters are singing their ass off....and lightning every 3-5 seconds.

You made me get up and go out to look and wow wow wow.  You are right.  Lots of lightning off to the North.  Used to call that "heat lightning" :D (no thunder with it since the lightning is from so far away).

Seeing some lightning (and rolling thunder) to my far W/NW. I mean really frequent lightning and the wind has picked up. 

I could see that lightning from down here...currently hoping that pencil thin line to the west holds together, might get a few minutes of rain. Hear some thunder now.

The winners in the thunderstorm sweepstakes tonight are the farmers that live in the area where lehigh, berks, montgomery, and bucks counties all kind of come together. They got hit 3 times (well, 2 1/2 times) at severe intensity.
