House shaking thunder and people are still shooting off fireworks

Watching fireworks and lightning was something else. Rain missed a mile to my north.

Yes was sick. Lighting bolts and fireworks

Lighting over the ocean better than fireworks.

Got skunked today which is good. Strong storms went north and south of me. 

I'm glad it held off until 10pm so we were able to get the fireworks in, but very annoyed seeing the heavy rain missing to the south. Only a little shower here so far. I am desperate for rain for my vegetable garden. Still some activity to the west, so I'm still hoping to get something tonight.

Was watching morons shoot off fireworks into the strong winds and they were getting blown sideways

Another miss..just a bit of light rain as storm scooted to south

17k without power now. Connecticut got crushed

This Suffolk storm was far more robust than hi res models had it. The models show the stuff to the west swing through during the overnight. So there probably will be more a little later.

[psv88]

Suffolk gets these sneaky severe storms every summer. Usually not forecasted. They drop down from the sound and crush

Missed the heavy storms but thankfully some decent rain moving in now. Looks like high end moderate rain. Should get at least a quarter inch from this.

It felt like a microburst in Coram. Branches down all over the place.

That looked like a different cell that developed right over you

well all the prayers paid off as we had to take 2 breaks but we were able to get the the party and the fireworks in,,,,, that said Northern New City lost power for a while and congers also,,,,,,that first batch of storms passed thru with some serious wind that brought trees and branches down,,,,,,,afterwards the wind never got crazy here and the rain for the most part held off,,,,,I hope everyone has their power back ,,,Happy 4th All

Happy Independence Day all! Some thoughts on this holiday evening:

After the rain we were socked in fog in Chicago. I think the city did its fireworks show but you couldn't see it and could barely hear it. Sad/ridiculous. Should've been postponed.

[winterwx21]

Only 0.18" here tonight. Better than nothing but I hope we have better luck tomorrow. HRRR did a good job with the timing of tonight's rain, and I see the 0z run is showing a repeat tomorrow with our area getting hit around 10pm. I'm hoping to have better luck with heavy rain tomorrow night. If not I know it looks like a pretty good soaking on Monday. I am desperate for a good amount of rain -- hopefully this dry stretch is about to end.

Thank god this heatwave is over. This was incredibly intolerable.
