Quite a few power outages from these storms. Southbridge looks pretty hard hit on the National Grid site--over 25% of the customers in town are out.

Pretty impressive lightning from that storm over Auburn / Worcester. I'm just north of the main rain shield and it's rumbling the house pretty sufficiently.

Wow, what breathtaking view!

Not sure what is worse: losing 3 toes or losing almost 3 toes.

How is Central MA looking between now and noon for rain and severe potential? Need to bring my kiddo in to get his wisdom teeth out this morning and wondering we'll be lucky enough to get back home before the worst of the weather gets here.

Cell has a TVS on it on Radarscope now.

The thunder from that storm NW of Worcester has some of the most rollingest rolling thunder I've heard in awhile. I could hear a slow motion crackle going from south to north like it was on slow mo.

Man, this would be a cruel joke. Temps come down enough for tomatoes to ripen, and 3 inches of rain comes along to split them all.

SPC moved the severe threat a bit further east on update: Update: Previous

Helpful--TY! Was wondering if it would hold out until this evening to get the lawn mowed. Probably not, if that model verifies.

Curious--is it on par with a normal cloudy day?

Wow, it looks like 8:30 pm out there. There's a weird "solar eclipse" vibe about it where things don't quite seem right. The air definitely has a heaviness to it. I don't smell smoke, but my mouth kind of tastes weird. Was it mostly forest that burned up there, or did it hit a lot of manmade things that have who knows what in them?

The sunbeam my cat is sitting in is making her look orange-pink. It's like it's sunset.

Don't see this too often:
