Loudest clap of thunder I’ve heard in years struck here a minute ago. 

Just had a lightning strike on my block. 

Decent thunderstorm here.

anything Fauci says I do the opposite...I said a long time ago a mask cant protect your eyes if someone coughs or sneezes near you...

I know, right? The only way it’d work is if the person who coughed or sneezed was wearing something that covered their mouth and nose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heavy rain with thunder out here.  This batch means business.

Same areas that got hit hard with rainfall from Isaias. 

Probably my favorite video I took during Isaias.

Amazing how many people came up to us between 6 and 9 am and said "fake storm". 

People are insufferable. 

Wow winds here are comparable to what we had earlier today. Impressive. 

Sun is out. Winds howling again. 

Pretty extensive tree damage here. Winds have been calm for better part of an hour now.

Getting absolutely rocked by a cell coming through here. 

Sun just poked out here lol winds still gusting near 50.

Parts of Long Island will be lucky to break .50 of rain 

I mean, wasn't that the forecast?

Heavy rain here. Wind gusts increasing.

It's been almost 8 years since Sandy. That's a long enough time elapse for trees that were not vulnerable then to be vulnerable now. That is if the winds verify as strong as they're being forecast. Could be pretty substantial tree damage.

Is this real?

It's been consistently the strongest modeling of the globals. Hope it's wrong.

Impressive light show. All cloud to cloud though.

2018?

I’ve moved a lot over the metro the past couple of years. Where ever I’ve been living I’ve somehow missed the goods. A lot of the “severe” thunderstorms I’ve witnessed over that time were probably low on the qualifier for that warning. This was definitely severe. 

It’s been a long time since I’ve witnessed a thunderstorm like this. Lightning ever 10-30 seconds.
