wxmanmitch Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I had the opportunity to witness a CG lightning strike from no more than 50 feet away as that line of storms slammed through here earlier. I could actually feel the heat and shock-wave from the bolt and smell the ozone as I was sitting on the front porch watching the storm when it hit. It struck this large black locust tree on our property and split it in half. The tree is literally hanging by a thread and any decent wind gust will be enough to topple the rest of it over. Hopefully, conditions will remain fairly calm until it can be taken out ASAP. I'm actually kind of glad as this tree is more of a messy nuisance anyway. Now there's an excuse to have it removed and hopefully have the insurance cover most of it. Save for the CG lightning everywhere, it was a pretty run of the mill FROPA t-storm with heavy rain and some wind at the onset. Here are some photos from the tree that was hit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Impressive lightning...meh on winds. Probably only a very few isolated spots saw severe criteria wind. Winds were much more impressive in ct than mass, lightning was no big deal here, the gust front was very impressive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Storm came through here mid afternoon. .43" of rain and winds gusting into the 30's. Lost power during the storm and Im on generator now. Nice average thunderstorm, nothing severe. Grabbed my camera as the squall line was moving over Newfound Lake here in Central NH. Awesome picture--and view!
