What was up with the winds late last night? Heard them around 1am and ended up having a good sized limb come down, took out some of the tomato plants in our garden and snapped a wall of our raised bed,

Decent winds when it came through Belchertown. Rt. 21 closed due to trees down in the south part of town as well as some side streets.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone in Mass/CT/RI got a "burst" today. Obligatory weenie image given my statement:

Some pretty wild videos of it coming across Long and Great Pond. It seems like a sneaky good severe weather area. Might be moving up there next year, Great Pond has some of the better bass fishing in New England.

For sure. Some rotation on velocity approaching Florida/Berkshire East area.

@HIPPYVALLEY about to get blown away?

Great post. I ended up just going down a "Loaded Gun Theory" rabbit hole.

Drive an extra 25 minutes NE to the Old Enfield Lookout around the Quabbin. There is also the stone tower at the top for a better view. Can see west to Greylock, north to Monadnock, and east to Wachusett.

It was amazing to see it blow up in real time. This is looking south at it.

Yea keeps the high MLCAPE to that RI/SE Mass area but doesn't fire much up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tornadoes_striking_downtown_areas_of_large_cities I think one of the more memorable ones, though only an F2, was in Salt Lake City.

I was actually referencing tomorrow in that post lol Looks like something trying to brew between Wallum Lake and 146 on velocity. Funny, a FB memory from 10 years ago popped up today. We were night fishing on Wallum and got chased off around 2am by a memorable light storm.

18z NAM a little more generous with the shear down into Mass, CAPE gone wild. Also looking like more of a west wind which could be an interesting ingredient. I'm thinking NE CT, southern Worcester County, northern RI, into Bristol County for the best/worst of it.

Agreed on the northern/central NE for best as of now. There is an interesting combination of ingredients coming together at the right time in southeast Mass to keep an eye on.

Waiting on wiz's severe thread for tomorrow after a boring spring.

Spawn is starting to wrap up on the Quabbin but the largemouth bite is heating up. Pitching jigs around shallow cover has been fun. Even got a surprise 5-10 smallie in 18" of water last week.

Think it is has been 3 years since we had a flash flood warning. Going on 2 hours of non-stop thunder. Kiddo won't nap and dog needs to be drugged.

Was cool to watch that line build up just south of us a few hours ago.

Algos looked to have a glitch yesterday around 12:20. When AMC got halted GME went from $258 - 285. I'd love to figure that one out.

Earnings report and share holders meeting. Also, the hot topic of vote count for board members, etc. and the possibility they get more votes than there are shares. Wouldn't be surprised if here are a lot more votes than there are shares.

Only a gamma squeeze today. I jumped in early last week after looking at the options chain. Shorts continued to do their thing today and added another 2+ million to the pile. I'm sure some smaller shorts exited though. Going to be pretty funny when people cash out and put some back into GME for next week's expected craziness. Last I saw, shorts had lost over $2 billion on AMC in the past 5 days of trading.

Our dog was complaining at the back door this morning, thought he just had to go out. As I'm half asleep and opening up the slider I noticed a large bobcat walking on the edge of the yard. Our dog is a 65 lbs. hound mix and that cat would have messed him up. I know they can range up to 40lbs but it looked to be larger than that. Surprised how low to ground but long it was are, very dark brown too. Looked nothing like pictures I have seen of them around here. Bummed my phone was in the other room and I couldn't get a picture of it.

Amazing how it went from blue bird to 10 at night, similar to the derecho last year.
