Hopefully it finds its way to you and MtJoySnowman. (Can’t imagine it won’t, but I suppose stranger things have happened…) Expand Holy hell did it ever! What a T&L show! Swear I just had a lightning strike right in my backyard, instantaneous thunder and the loudest I have ever heard. Could hear it singeing the air from inside the house. Not making it any easier to put the baby down though. I’ll go out and get a measurement in a few but a bit tepid right now haha. Lightning nearby has continued long after rains blew by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Wow for once I outdid you, and by more than a little. Looks like about .85” in the gauge and a rainbow to the east to boot. Lord knows I was due. I’ll scope out the scene for a lightning strike tomorrow, still an ominous look out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDreamTraveler Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Once the storm started to subside we had lightning right outside the house and then a minute later it was sunny but still thundering like hell.

I would think any shot at hitting any sort of temperature milestone tomorrow (100 for MDT, 95 for PIT, etc.) depends on avoiding thunderstorms, which I’m not convinced of.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Well sure enough, after some investigative work it appears the Mulberry tree nearest my house took a direct lightning strike. I can see the fresh black scorch marks about halfway up and on the ground below are some decent sized freshly fallen limbs. This is only 40' from the back of my house. Also, my one GFI circuit tripped (apologies if I've said this wrong as I'm the furthest thing from an electrician ha). I'm tellin ya, that strike had me jumpin out of ma' underpants whilst sittin on the couch in ma' livin room. I ended up with .84" but some friends just to the east near the Lititz area got double that and report quite a few ruined mulch beds and a number of downed limbs. All in all, a crazy little evening. Let's see what the next couple of days bring, outside of oppressive heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
