We are in the eye of the storm!
The sky is crying
The thunder is booming
And the house is shaking.
I keep doing that countdown thing with thunder and lightning. I got to 2. Just waiting for another giant tree to come crashing down on us with each hit.

There was just an earsplitting clap of thunder....I thought the house would crack in two.
Torrential rain,
fireworks in the sky.
Remind me that i should be enjoying this! Oh how I love the weather, but this is on the edge of unsettling.

For a graphic image of our current adventure, go to www.wunderground.com and put in a ZIP Code for Massachusetts (02114 will do) then click on the little radar image, and then on "animate map" (on the left).

I'm out in the western burbs. We had a severe one passed through earlier, about 2 hours ago. The wind was really severe, and it hailed for at least 10 minutes (~corn kernel size).
We seem to miss the current one, though I kept hearing thunder nonstop for the last 15 minutes.

yk, I think you got the brunt of the hail and wind. We got the electric light orchestra
I lost a MAJOR tree this past winter onto my roof while home. When the house shakes, gyppie quakes~!
the waters are receding and the sun is starting to peak back out.
here comes the sun anonymous!

yk - Does that remind you of Dallas, TX?
It sure does! And I'm surprised to see so many T-storms here in the NorthEast!
In fact, the storms are worse here as it hails here (almost once a week recently). At least there's no hail in Dallas.

Interesting. I used to live here but I didn't recall ever seeing hail. So I hope the recent storms are an anomaly. Yesterday's hail storm was definitely the worst & longest duration I've seen here. The other storms earlier this month usually just hailed for a minute or so.

It has been a very strange 2 weeks of thunderstorms. Yesterdays wasn't that bad where I was thankfully - just two claps of extremely loud thunder and lots of rain. Lots worse elsewhere. I remember summers like this when I was a kid - 40 years ago!
We did get a bonus on the North Shore - after a gentle rain shower during my daughter's softball game, we got a beautiful double rainbow.
