Hoth

Drought canceled.

Don't know if this is true or not, but my neighbor heard there are multiple fatalities on the Merritt related to falling trees. Anyone else heard anything?

How was the chase?

Hamden mayor reporting roofs off buildings.

Not exclusive to Hamden, but I like to throw the '11 Norlun in there too.

It's okay, we can do fog with the best of them.

Rumbles and light rain.

If I had been home, you can bet Hamden would've had a gentle sun shower. But naturally, being at Fishers, the town got clocked.

For sure. I was just pointing out he was considering that spot yesterday.

Man, too bad Wiz didn't walk to the top of East Rock. I bet that was an epic show.

This accords with what my family in the area is reporting.

Took the old venerable oak down at the base. Car is under there somewhere.

Lol, Hamden seems to do severe right these days.

Aunt reports her car crushed, driveway blocked and wires down everywhere.

Neighbor's house has several trees down in the yard. Of course I wasn't home lol. FML.

Mum reports yard is covered in maple branches. Impressive considering we just lost a ton a few weeks ago.

Facing the wrong direction unfortunately.

Mother in Hamden reports it is pitch black. Can barely see the birch in their yard. Lightning and whipping trees.

Wiz in a good spot. My aunt was in the inflow notch area of the first storm in Watertown and reports wind and raining buckets.

Two tornado warned cells now. Good luck west of the river folks. You finally pulled one off lol.

Wish I was in Hamden for this. Gonna be a wild afternoon there.

These showers and cloud debris need to clear out. 70 with occasional breaks of sun. Also, wind suddenly sprang up from the south.

Cloud debris, as usual.

I remember there was a day maybe ten or twelve years ago that looked like a historic NE outbreak. I seem to recall the SPC had a 10 or 15% hatched tornado for us in the outlook. Shear was awesome, instability was sufficient, strong trigger....but we overlooked the lapse rates, which were awful. Lo and behold, whatever updrafts tried to go up were feeble and just got blown over by the shear. Brutal bust, so painful I can't even recall when that day was. Edit: found it. June 6, 2010. 80 kt jet, 60 kt bulk shear, raging llj, 45% hatched wind, 10% tornado. Epic epic bust.
