Hopefully it finds its way to you and MtJoySnowman. (Can’t imagine it won’t, but I suppose stranger things have happened…) 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...

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.

Outside of that, it's going to be a long fall in the Steel City. i'm going with 11-5 14 hours ago, TimB84 said: Only one of those scenarios makes us have to listen to the “Tomlin has never had a losing season” crowd spouting off. 13 hours ago, canderson said: Pretty strong gusts right ahead of this line. 13 hours ago, TheDreamTraveler said: We had some really impressive gusts here to the point I'm surprised there wasn't a warning or a special weather statement with that. Knocked down a ton of stuff We had multiple incidents throughout the EP area. I think up to this point of 2021 i've been on more storm related calls then i can remember 8 hours ago, canderson said: Anyone know any roofers that work in Harrisburg?

Some our talking 100, i'm not so sure we hit 100 either day. By 11-5, do you mean 12-5, 11-6, or 11-5-1? 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. These two items are actually related in that both would require everything to go right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

It might have been the poorest excuse for a warned storm here in my 'hood, but I was thinking that you were getting a pretty good smackdown. You sort of deserved it after a season full of heartache... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like i hadn't taken but a few sips of beer and the ribs were there. It was the first time there i didn't get the Onion Loaf. But the crab toast my daughter wanted was good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
