Right outside of Middletown. Just had the most intense storm in years. Large hail, tons of sky to ground lightning and over an inch of rain.  And just loss power.

I can see the lightning from that storm to my north! It’s crazy…it’s nonstop too. All summer there was nothing like this and it’s September 21st now. Go figure lol

I just came back to say that the lightning approaching my area is incredible- nonstop flashes now.

Exactly, all summer long nada! I had my windows open right as this storm blew up over me and some of the thunder was right on top of me. Just as I closed them the heavy rain and hail started.

What a storm last night around 11pm. Continuous lightning, wind and heavy rain. 1.18 rain from that thunderstorm  1.41 rain total overnight. Power still off est. Time to restore 12pm today. What caused these storms to be so intense in late September and so late at night?

The approach of the left exit region of a relatively strong
upper level jet on Saturday will combine with moderately high
sfc dewpoints in the low to mid 60s (with corresponding PWAT of
around 1-1.25 inches) to spark an area of showers/scattered
embedded TSRA that could bring localized damaging straight-line
wind gusts and hail, mainly in the late afternoon/early evening
hours across much of Central PA and the Susq Valleys per
clustering/mean of high res models.

There should have been a warning for the storm at my place last night. Was starting to get worried about that wind during the storm.

I think this was a case of some "cry wolf" syndrome as when these derecho type events show up on models, they are often overstated. This time it came through very much as modeled.
