Substantially better than yesterday but with less wind. Third day in a row with a good storm, each one with different strengths. I can see a substantial increase in lightning off to the East, almost like a supercell is forming tbh. I got fringed but that's ok. Yesterday was primo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep this could repeat all the rest of the summer and I’d be as happy as a dog who,d just dug up a bone he buried months before.

Today produced though. Rough estimate looking at the rain gage.... 1.25" or so. Gardens are pleased finally...

09-10 analogy Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This might be as good a T&L show as I’ve had all summer and that includes the overnight cannonade from a couple weeks back. May not last as long but we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This has brought the house down (figuratively) in a way that only happens a couple times a year usually.. Not only the close in strikes, which are always juiced by the transmission towers around here, but also the continual background roar of the thunder. I guess the big close in strikes are the melody and the continuous rumble in the distance is the harmony. But I’m not musical so that metaphor probably sucks. It’s a keeper regardless.
