ct_yankee Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Man, I thought the day was ruined after that first wave of crapvection but the atmosphere recovered enough for the one small storm to get it done - at least twice, and maybe more than that. Now imagine what it would have been like with a little more forcing and/or an EML. Excellent pics and video, very cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I thought it was legit until I read the comments under the video. This one from Tolland, MA seems plausible: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypatia Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Drone video of damage at Paley's Farm Market on the Sharon/Amenia border. I feel so bad for them. I used to go there for garden supplies ever since I was a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdy2x Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Originally posted up in Northampton but moved across the river and eventually worked my way into Amherst. No question, there was a decent lowering as it moved to the NW of campus. Also, well defined hook on Umass Radar. (10min prior to video) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
