Getting rocked here.  Legit scary.  CTG lightning and crashing thunder.  Torrential rains.  Winds gusting to est 60 mph.  Debris all over.  Power out.  Generator on.

 

The 60 mph winds missed me.  But the dog is an absolute mess from the thunder and we picked up 2/3" of rain.  
I'm having to sit with the poor thing in our home office with music going.  And if they start shooting fireworks later at Lake Mohawk, I'm in for a long evening.
Hope you get your lights back on.  Good times.  Stay safe.

Wind kicking up sky dark all of a sudden

 

May get a quick boomboom

Temp fell like a rock.  Currently 64 degrees.

Getting some 50 to 60mph gusts here ahead of the line of storms.

Insane storm here in New Providence. Pretty sure there was a microburst at one point. Power is out.

[nycsnow]

Big time wind gust now ahead of it 

[Nibor]

Got caught in it about 2 blocks from home. Initial wind gust came through knocked my AirPods out of my ears lol

Oh fun. 1 year ago tonight we had 80 mph winds and lost power for 4 days

Would be mind-boggling if the 4th of July gets ruined for a 2nd year in a row.

Been going for over 10 minutes with power flickering and its not even here yet

[MANDA]

Might take a while to get the power back on over a holiday weekend.  Thankful for the generator.

[nycsnow]

Easily gusting 60+ in front of this 

[Nibor]

Pretty wild out here. Best storm in a while.

Can see on radar that the storms are weakening now as they're moving in. So hopefully that wind well ahead of the storm was the worst of it. And hopefully we get a decent amount of rain.

People at the New Hope America 250 Celebration should seek safe shelter immediately!

Very windy outside

Yeah, it's not looking good for Sussex County. Currently over 17K out per PowerOutage.us. I still have power, but it flickered a few times and I wouldn't be shocked if it gets shut off as they work to restore other areas.

Headed right to me in si

[winterwx21]

All this wind but based on the way radar looks I'm gonna get very little rain. Almost comical. 

[FPizz]

@Poker2015 I see reds and oranges on radar, but looked at my cameras and very light rain and gauge says .02"  Sound right so far?

Thanks.  Looking at my cameras it looked pretty bright out.  I see my station recorded a gust of 33.  Could have used a nice downpour
