Constant cloud to ground lightning while driving South. we left Greenfield at 4 PM and had not gotten a drop of rain today. 1 hour ago, Cyclone-68 said: A drive along the pike would be a lot of fun about now Just got home from the cape... Pouring the length of the pike, crazy lightning. 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...
dendrite Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Line coming out of Vermont is getting Epsteined as it reaches 89. We'll probably be good for a couple of hundredths. 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...

PowderBeard Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Finally wrapping up, just some distant thunder. A tad under 2.5", a couple miles east in town looks to have gotten 4+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HimoorWx Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Just had a strike in front of the house way too close for comfort. 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...
CoastalWx Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Excessive rain does nothing. This is exactly what the doctor ordered. Hopefully we ease the drought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth told, TT posts about car temps around January 15th. just had more thunder. An eventful late-day and evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
