weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I noticed that members locations are not being shown, so please indicate where you are posting from. Ditto! Please if anyone is going to make a reports (rainfall totals, damage) PLEASE list your location. In order for the NWS to take the report they need location and it will make it much easier instead of me having to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Torrential rain in Westford. One of the most impressive rainfalls I've seen up here in a long time. This is the sort of rain that usually lasts a minute but it's been going strong for almost twenty minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This is starting to get exciting. I should try to get some sleep. Going to be a long day! Quiet here at the moment. Yes it is! Saw a flash of lightning and just had another rumble! Pretty sweet. Just awaiting some stronger winds and tornado watch to be either expanded or a new one to be issued.

Cloudsncontrails Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wow I have never heard thunder like that before. It sounded like a volley of cannons. Very low bass and just kept rolling. That heavy rain really does something to the acoustics of the thunder. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
