Constant cloud to ground lightning while driving South. we left Greenfield at 4 PM and had not gotten a drop of rain today.

Then all sorts of trees and branches and wires down through Palmer and S Belchertown. Roads closed had to detour several times. SILs in Ware no power and damage. Not quite as bad here by Quabbin however. Will have to review the radar data. Been an active couple months here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 That’s some big rain. There's an axis of 4-6" rain, with a surrounding zone of 2-4", and widespread 1"+ rainfall. Like Tip said earlier, that's some Iowa stuff. Here's a snapshot of RT 9 in Mass... got raked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the flash and heard the pop and sizzle. Amazingly it didn't seem to hit anything. I'm 66 now and never experienced lightning like that.Sent from my SM-T510 using TapatalkWell, TV and adjustable platform bed got fried by the strike. Never lost power, but must have been quite a spike. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
