So how's everyone's electric bill

81 when I left IJD fields at 10 , geezus  73 here

Just got mine in 193.00 not bad with the a/c and pool filter running..

Got tons of crabgrass here.. Is there anything natural I can put on it? My son plays outside and don't want him near chemicals.. If not I'll just deal with it.

Did that storm have rotation at all in Enfield it definitely looked like some rotation here even showed my girlfriend..

Power is out here

the CG's on the backside are the worst b/c they're typically +CG strikes (I believe) which are the most dangerous. But that's exactly what happened here. I'm still freaked out. 

I parked my car on the street in front of my house and as I get out I hear thunder off to the west-southwest and I wondered if something else popped. I checked the radar and saw it was (guess anyways) from a cell over Middletown. I debated on taking up the trash can but figured I'd do it later since I have to go back outside. 

I walk into my house and as soon as I close the door I saw an incredibly bright flash which lasted a couple seconds and instantly heard the crash. The house shook. I sort of peered out windows to see if I could notice anything hit but didn't see anything. I tried going outside a few times but as soon as I stepped foot outside I ran back in. After I'm done working I'll take a walk around. 

Just read positive strikes can happen 20 to 30 miles away from the storm.. Definitely had to be that.. pretty cool learn something every day Thanks Paul

That storm that came through here 45 min or so ago looked like it had rotation on the front end.. 

Just had a cloud to ground strike very close by and the storm is gone wth:!!!!!! Now I know why they say lightning can strike far away from the storm...

Awesome wind rain and lightning

Insane lightning sky looks incredible almost here

Tons of lightning to the west!!!

Looks like a nice storm heading here

Amazing footage from Hawaii today, yes it is weather-related.  The lava has been entering the ocean creating steam clouds,  This morning an explosion occurred at the ocean edge. (5 people were hurt on a tour boat that was too close) Lightning started going off in the rising steam and explosion cloud.  Very rare footage, not even sure what caused this at only a few hundred feet off the ocean surface.  Thoughts?

 

The lightning part is pretty cool ... Sucks that people got hurt though
