Accuweather radar imagery looks insane ! hope everyone just gets a soaking and nothing more (like fallen trees, powerlines etc..)

[motv8tr]

Right now it's nothing but blue skies and sunshine up here, but I expect I'll be driving through lots on my way to work tonight....stay safe everyone.

Bah....this is nothin, but not far to the east of me is getting hammered pretty good. Just a bit of rain here. Not a draft of wind.

Lotsa rain & lightning over my way and the temps fell fast when the cold front arrived, but it sure did look purty when the storm was moving out and the sun shone through the clouds.

Wow, cool photo Lew!

Thanks Joey, but think how it would have turned out with YOUR camera

It was a pretty intense in my neck of the woods in Peterborough last night. I sat out on the front stoop of the house and watched the weather roll in, till the rain really started pounding. Storm of the summer for us! Looking at the clouds you could see the rotation which was neat. It was a great lightening show, and the winds were intense for about 45 minutes or so. Glad to hear everyone was fine!

Welcome to tornado alley Raf!!

I lived in Grand Valley from 1995 until 2005.

We only had one tornado in that time and it was an F3.

Came through the marsh heading straight for our house and when it got to the field beside us it hopped across the road and wiped out all the farms and houses over there.

We had some minor damage from micro bursts but nothing more serious than a couple of broken trees.

After the storm we found a 3# small mouth in the back yard about 20 yards from our pond.

My guess is it was picked up out of Damascus reservoir.

I wonder if it would have lived it it hit the pond?

That's too funny, kinda brings whole new meaning to food delivery....maybe one did and you just don't know about it
