I see it to the west out my window.  Two new Warnings expanded across the city and down into Delaware.

North Wales train station parking lot lights kicked on because it's so damn dark... 

Saw a couple of lightning bugs here, lol. Nice series of morphing and shape shifting storms down here, mostly heavy rain with some thunder and lightning, not too much wind. Just crossed the 1 inch mark, coming down hard again. Refreshing!

They must have been confused as hell especially if the sun pops out before sunset...

I didn't see any lightning but had a total of 3 rounds of thunder, the last one being pretty deep and rumbling.  I'm now down to light rain and so far received 0.38" from the heaviest rain (total 0.51" for the day so far at post time).  Figure I may get another couple hundreds of an inch before it's done.  Temp is down to 72 and the windows are... you guessed it! STEAMED (that's what happens when you have central air with the floor vents right under windows)! :lol:

Got 0.06" more of light rain since my last post (total 0.44" for the event so far and 0.57" for the day).  Temp still 72 and it's overcast and misty. Can now see an attempt at a sunset happening to the west.

I have one. Sun poking through and hitting the side of houses...
