SmokeEater Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I wish I could have that. I get the every once a while type. There's different types of storms, based on frequency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormspotterlive Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 looks like the storms have caused a down tree on the eastbound pa turnpike at MP 289 between the Lancaster exit and the reading exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Nah not even close. Grother takes that since Colin is banned and can't keep his drought and flooding thing going unless Grother is Colin. lolwut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Am not a fan of creating "products" that mimic official nws/spc/HPC/NHC outlooks in titling and appearance... but I don't dispute what he wrote with the exception that it is very touch and go...IF there is more sun on Friday, he ends up closer to reality. If it's the same person I'm seeing, he's actually scaring people on FB, who dont know any better, with these "alerts" that they are issuing. Multiple people were messaging legitimate mets last night, worrying about damaging storms tomorrow, and were those alerts official. Not trashing, but I agree with Tom, they shouldn't mimic official NWS/SPC forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chademer07 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Nah not even close. Grother takes that since Colin is banned and can't keep his drought and flooding thing going unless Grother is Colin. Maybe I'm Colin! Have you missed me Lee? Had a pretty nice storm earlier...pretty strong winds and crazy ctg lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Maybe I'm Colin! Have you missed me Lee? Had a pretty nice storm earlier...pretty strong winds and crazy ctg lightning.

I'm sure they will just ban this name, but it's my friends username. Not to go off topic, but I've been banned for so long now that I think I learned my lesson.

PAPPG Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Best storm of the summer. I agree. I stopped home for a bit, lightning so fierce I was afraid house was going to get hit.There is an old farmers tale the lightning storms from the south are the worst.

RedSky Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 after two little thundershowers another storm coming sounds like it means business. Did not expect all this activity today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Quite a dangerous storm near Sellersville/Perkasie. Likely some hail and perhaps a small downburst with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg ralls Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Actually, it looks like the storm may not have been all that great back at my house in Collegeville. Looks like the worst part of the storm passed to my north and hit Royersford & Limerick more so than Perkiomen Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah......I got clipped with the southern end of the worst (Schwenksville, on north on 29 got it worse). Still solid here. roughly 0.60". Great thunder/lightning.

stormspotterlive Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Defiantly a nice out performance today.Hoping the cells trying to pop west of the city hit. Anyhow the fact this system has started off stronger should make tonight's activity interesting that some models have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow the fact this system has started off stronger should make tonight's activity interesting that some models have. Actually what is occurring this afternoon really is not surprising as some computer models were suggesting the threat for a few local strong/severe storms today.

JCT777 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah......I got clipped with the southern end of the worst (Schwenksville, on north on 29 got it worse). Still solid here. roughly 0.60". Great thunder/lightning. My wife called me about 25 minutes ago and said that storm was very nasty at my house in Spring Mount. Hail/wind/lightning/heavy rain...and a brief power outage. And now, apparantly, my living room TV is fried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so just seamed a bit more widespread. then again it has been the summer of boundaries! For whatever it is worth Adam Joseph just showed the RPM rain totals for this event it has a healthy 2.45 inches of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
