It was a stretch to me. Mostly outflow

Meanwhile 2 hours of storms for Falmouth.

[Damage In Tolland]

Sun out. Let’s get round 2

[Torch Tiger]

Wow wow wow

[metagraphica]

Damn, the good CT storm headed off to my east. Can hear tons of thunder from it.

[MarkO]

Got real dark in Lowell just before the cell. Probably one of the darkest mid-day thunderstorms I've seen. Lots of cloud-ground strikes in my area. Had a handfull within a mile.

[Torch Tiger]

40+ gusts, pea sized hail. Wild c/g and positive strikes

[Torch Tiger]

Hail at 3:50-55

[Hoth]

Come to Butthead. 

[Hoth]

Also, anyone hear about a plane crash in SECT? I saw something fiery spiral out of the sky when I was on the water earlier. Set fire on the ground wherever it came down too. Didn’t see anything on local news.

1.  Show me that kdxken ever said that.  

2.  Cutting wood for a living tends to make one extra sensitive to TDs.

Not much sun today though it's sticky.  Struggling to get past 70.  Storms are currently circling around our area, but some from the north might come for a visit. 

Daughter's doodle wants no part of it.

In this morning's TS our 9-y.o. yellow Lab mix was panting at over 200 breaths per minute, and she had an awful time the night before with 6 hours of th8under between 6 yesterday and 4:30 this AM.

[LSC97wxnut]

Gusty.  Maybe 40 once?  I'm not great with estimating.

[LSC97wxnut]

That was fun for a while.

On the backside of the storm now. Maybe some teeny hail at the peak, but hard to say for sure.

[HimoorWx]

Wow. Suddenly it's night time here. Breezy, but not much action yet. Sounds like it's approaching now. 

[Hoth]

Some awesome CG across the water towards Mystic

In the northeast part of town there were two rounds of hail and some wind gusts that may have been down bursts.  Parents have some tree damage at their house and in their neighborhood.  That cell drifted ESE into Swansea/Somerset/Fall River area.

[Bryan63]

Look outside my front windows and it looks like night, out the backyard the sun is shining in the distance.

Looks like we're about to get rocked here in Middleboro.

From radar it looks like Westerly and the beaches are getting hammered.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

What a storm here. Marble sized hail, frequent thunder and lightning
