GaWx Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Severe thunderstorm warning in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Wow! This is easily the worst thunderstorm I’ve experienced in many months. Lead by very strong winds, torrential rains with CTG lightning followed quickly. I was trying to get home to beat the storm but too many others had the same idea and thus the traffic was so heavy it delayed me. Fortunately I got home safely but it there’s no power. Waiting it out in the car til the rain slackens. Edit: Outage lasted 4 hrs! Measured a much appreciated ~0.8”. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Picked up .35" from 3 different storms. .07" from the first, .17" from the 2nd and a final .10" from the last one. Hopefully Tuesday will give us much more. Woke up to a cool 55 this morning with a wind chill in the 40's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
