I am up in Altoona for the weekend and saw the Special Weather Statement come in for that one. Looking at radar looks like my house got the east side of it.

EstorilM Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Wow what a night (unexpected!) I shall dub the mystery bolt as the “Brunswick Boomer!” Both my weather stations with lightning detection picked it up, somehow with fairly accurate distances too (10mi from my Middleburg station near goose creek, 16mi from my Catharpin station towards Manassas.) Then I was woken up again to lots of lightning and thunder as the training storms eventually aligned with me, and I got that impressive cell for a good 10 minutes (peaked out at just under 1”/hr .3 total, nothing too wild. These were some pretty impactful storms, especially the training action. There wasn’t so much as a single peep about any of this in the forecast discussion from LWX, just the showers earlier with the fropa around the evening commute. What an exactly happened from a meteorological perspective? Aren’t things usually pretty dry and stable hours after a front has passed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like weather.us …also, wouldn’t this be up there with some of the most powerful strikes ever recorded? At least around here? Average is like 30kA right? I did NOT think there were any unique atmospheric variables at play last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
