Lightning struck right on top of our house, may have damn near hit it. Terrifying. We lost cable and internet but have power. Some other things acting funny. Neighbors confirmed they think it hit right in our back yard. Kids were scared but we are fine. Atmosphere was angry today. 

Glad everything and everyone is okay. I was outside watching the lightning strikes down your way. Lots of sharp CTG bolts.

Guys...what a storm we had here!  It started at around 4:10.  At first it was a decent rain swath but not much with any real intensity.  However, as time rolled on the storms gradually kept getting strong with heavier rain and increasing wind.  Then, NWS issued  a severe thunderstorm warning saying the storm was over Carlisle and was only moving northeast at 5 mph.  In the warning they said possible wind gusts to 70 mph and 1.00" hail.  Fortunately for me there ended up with no hail.  But the winds easily were sustained at 25-35 with gusts to 45 or even higher.  My huge 90-foot tall trees in my backyard began to sway violently as debris being blown off the trees crashed into my picture window.  It was terrifying for a bit because the winds were blowing from behind the trees towards the back of my house.  That height is enough to reach my house if one came down directly.  At the same time it was, of course, strangely exciting at the same time.  The torrential rain which was being blown horizontally was adding up incredibly quickly.  When it finally began to taper off I had recorded 1.88" in just 45 minutes.  Then came the flash flood warning.  Thankfully I do not live in a flood prone area.  At around 4:55 the lights flickered and then went out.  PPL says about 1100 customers without power in the small grid that serves my local area.  Restoration expected by 2:00am.  We have underground utilities all around here so I know the problem couldn't have originated here.  As I type this at 6:30 I picked up another 0.03" in another shower giving me a storm total of 1.91".  That brings my monthly total to 6.41".  My 2-month total of May plus June comes out to 15.22"!  I'll stop here for the time being...lol.  ttyl

Just came to say the same thing. Up to 1.33" now. Several very close strikes. At least my power is back, at least for now.

 

I’m at a similar amount, probably closing in on 1.5”. Tropical in nature. Manheim area again taking it on the chin today with big totals.
