The immediate south shore has been extremely dry, to the point that lawns a brown and perrenials and annuals are dying. It's getting ridiculous, no rain here in 15 days. I hope tonight delivers a good rain but it doesn't look that way based on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkviking Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Most intense tstorm of year - and it’s been busy - here in Port Jefferson. Easily busiest CTG stuff we’ve had up here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liwxfan Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Craziest CTG lightning we have had in years here. Miller place Long Island. Seems like every bolt is hitting yards from my house! Actually a little scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unusual wind direction with the strongest gusts here, NNE. Not what we usually get with thunderstorms.

Cfa Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 This is the best storm I’ve seen since October 2015. This storm may even be better than that one. And of course, my stupid rain gauge would fail at a time like this. Reporting 0.00” after two downpours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 ever for me in terms of lightning, I haven’t seen this many close by CG’s since I lived in Queens. I saw a what I believe was a power flash to my SE and half of the sky turned pink for 5 seconds. All while fiddling with my malfunctioning PWS, I ran inside after that lol.

These 75+ dew points and 75+ SST's have really delivered for us this summer. We just had to put up with the dry streaks in early July and the last few weeks.

I know, I thought about setting up my camera, but it’s been at least 4 years since I’ve last captured lightning, I don’t even remember how to do it lol. 18 minutes ago, LibertyBell said: I've given up on digital rain gages lol they always seem to fail during big rainfall events. I use the regular analog variety now. I’m so pissed, it’s never given me an issue until today. I even poured a bottle of water in it and it registered nothing. I hope it’s just an obstruction, this thing is barely 6 months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
