0.62" from the storm yesterday, and attached is the best pic I took from the max eclipse time.

Great pic! I'd send one, but it would have just been of the cloud deck and rain. Picked up 1.49" with LOTS of T&L between 10 pm and 1 am. Sitting at 5.28" for the month.

Storm got to my doorstep yesterday then changed its mind and just disappeared into thin air. lol

Around this time in 2024 we had a tropical remnant system headed our way and a massive precip forecast. Instead the bulk of the rain refused to go north of Richmond.

An uninspiring 0.20” Thursday but it did get me over 4” for August (Columbia)

Lightning and thunder last night 9:30 - 10 but zero rain.

Out at the cabin this weekend, last night had a thunderstorm with lots of lightning and thunder coming in but as soon as it reached the edge of my property it just fizzled out and ended up with nothing.

Storms ruined my picnic plans last night, but once they moved out to the southeast they put on one of the most incredible lightning shows I've seen. One of those times were even other, presumably "normal" people stop to look up at the sky. Bolt after bolt ran along the clouds for hours. Had the privilege of walking down to watch it once with a friend and then later on with my camera. Won't be a night to forget.

Socked in with low clouds and you look at satellite and realize it's clear like 10 miles west of me lol

When is it going to be our turn?

It was clear enough for about 15 minutes around 11:30 last night.  It was pretty cool to see... nothing like the solar in 2024

 @NorthArlington101Turns out UVA liked them too as I'm now a post on their Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/DclqopRDcKi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Super cool! Way to take advantage of UVA’s status as supercell alley these days. I’ve been feinding for good lightning this summer and have been annoyed - clearly I need to visit Cville.

Hope you are ready to cheer us on vs. NC State tomorrow!! Big game.
