It was windier before the heavy rains came through. Now that it's passed, just a light breeze and some showers. Maybe we get clipped by that stuff in RI as the mesolow slides east of here.

Now we're in it. 1/4 R+ (Wish it was S+...)

Has become noticeably darker as the squall line approaches.

Light flicker with the most recent gust.

Well, maybe that tree wasn't as healthy as I thought? The red inside the limb can't be good?

Best gust of the storm blew a decent limb off a tree down the street here in Newtonville. Can't get out there to see, but from here, it looked pretty healthy on the inside.

S-- in Newtonville.

Might have a few flakes mixed in here in Newtonville. 40.2*

Just got back from kids 9:00am soccer game in Walpole. (Turf field, so game on unless there is thunder.) Light rain the entre time and a few gusts good enough to turn a few umbrellas inside-out, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm not going to post it, but I took a "before" photo with some water in the garage area around 10:30. The close up of my car and feet was at 11:17 and we were evacuated about 10 minuets later, so I am extremely lucky to have gotten my car out of there. It wouldn't have been 5 more minutes before I would have been bailing water out of it. I did speak to someone who did indeed have their car in there and he said he was happy to take the claim. He said the car was burning oil and he was facing a hefty repair bill! All in all, it was pretty amazing how fast it happened. Sure shows how flash floods are no joke.

This is the spot where my car was a few posts back.

Garage now.

The building management company evacuated my building due to water in the roof and basement.

Under building garage in Needham near the hospital.

Under that cell in Needham and zero lightning and barely any wind where I am.

Thunderstorm watch just pinged on my phone.

Pouring again here. A little wind and a lot more lightning than the other times.

Yeah, pouring again. It's so humid out it must not take a lot of lift to get it to rain.

Just been told by MIL there's street flooding going on in Washington Square in Brookline. Still barely sprinkles where I am in Newtonville.

Pretty dark from the cells popping up to my south,

Rumble of thunder in Newtonville. Looks like the worst of the line will slide to my south?

Pretty cool watching that Berkshires cell explode on cod.edu.

Makes sense to put the FFW out. These cells are training pretty good.

Some gusty winds and couldn't quite tell if there were a few peas mixed in, but it didn't seem severe here in Newtonville as that cell blew through.

Thunder in Newtonville.
