that cross-Susquehanna north bay polygon (maybe not the first just first I've noticed).

Nothing notable here but this has been some classic bowling alley thunder.

I miss the cicadas. Edit: May as well - https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/07/30/cicada-nymphs-hatching-broodx/

It is perfectly delightful out. Cool summer evening with all the insects chirping away A+

A nice soaking rain. Opened the windows to listen to it.

Pummeled. Quarter inch here.

Took a quick trip to Cape Henlopen last Th. Entire Delmarva was dry but a few storms insisted on Lewes Still mostly a nice day

tons of fireflies

Thanks for the link! I might have to get both your and H20's suggestions, you can never have enough.

1.3" rain here over two days.

This seems like the crowd to ask...what are your favorite spill-proof drink containers? I would love something that you don't have to unscrew a cap while driving, but I guess ya need that for truly spill-proof? My fave style for cold drinks are tumblers with slide opening (not straw) and I have a good one I really like (Bubba) that is allllllmost but not quite spill-proof. Maybe I'm SOL. Edit: maybe the right term would have been leak-proof. ykwim

More subdued but still singing here.

That sounds fun Seems like there's quite a lot of music about/inspired by weather.

My people.

I hope your car just needs to dry out, @North Balti Zen Very scary. I've been through there many, many times too and never seen high water.

Getting a garden-watering from the edges of the Harford Co. storm. There was plenty of lightning to watch during its approach.

pretty

I have been watching two, possibly three Great Crested Flycatchers IMBY. I've never noticed them here before but they look and act exactly as described. Two of them are periodically sitting still in an open spot in the garden with their mouths open (looking adorable) then quickly back to trees. Plenty of woodpeckers around here so maybe they have found a tree cavity to call home. Incredible year to be an insectivore in the MA. Otherwise: hot Edit: please note I get this is not a rare species. also, I think fighting is breaking out.

Yes. Very strong Trek original series vibe to all the cicada sounds

A tour de force, an epic journey, I laughed, I cried

The cicada thread on a cool, rainy day:

I haven't checked the gauge since yesterday morning before the rain started but there is .80 in it now.

Finally. Shells on a maple today It's the farthest tree from the river and the sandiest soil...Nothing elsewhere so far.

Just picked up a tenth and enjoyed a little thunder. The dry goes on. Only had a few sprinkles Monday.
