Just seen a double (possibly triple) strike CG in Holtsville (LIE exit 62) near Top Golf, very close strike as I could sort of see behind it while driving. Poured for a minute, now moderate rain with occasional CG’s.

Massive CTG strike directly overhead. car alarms going off. Wasn’t expecting that. 

Most thunder I’ve heard in a very long time. Based on movement of this band, we may be raining for a while yet, especially way up north by you

Was about to post from my PC when a bolt of nearby lightning temporarily knocked out power. Safer to post from my phone. I had been watching the lightning approach for over an hour. Still more storms to our east, heading west. The weather bug app lightning map feature showed a large cluster of lightning strikes clustered around us. 1 was virtually on top of us. Yet none of the weather apps (Dark Sky, Weather Underground, etc..) were predicting even that rain was imminent. The biggest strikes here were about 10 minutes before this radar screenshot. Still hear rumbles of thunder.

Total so far: 0.59 for the day, 1.66 total. Current rate 0.17

Are you able to get a news media app that will tell you that it will rain or snow or thunder in X minutes and that it will last for () minutes?  I get that from the NBC station in Philadelphia and it is a great feature.

Very rare to see thunderstorms rolling in from east. I think I have ever seen this before other than in a hurricane/tropical system. But definitely not since I’ve lived here for the past 8 years

Last time if I recall was with feeder bands from henri that moved in from the east. That was the night we got got flooded from that monster band

Dark Sky usually specifically does that and Weather Underground shows hour by hour totals (as do a few others). When I first saw the storms on radar it seemed pretty clear they were coming our way an hour before. But the apps I was looking at showed no imminent rain from them. Thanks for the info, though.
