Severe Weather ?

Sitting up in the sun room listening to hail and watching flashes of lightning . as thewoodlands has said, it just won't stop/ a tornado may have landed near the area a State park was hit and a husband and wife died in their camper.

 

I didn't think my town got hit too hard from Sunday's storm, but apparently we were on the list of hard hit places. They may have lumped in Antrim (an adjacent town) with Hillsboro.

 

Drought has been broken in parts of Missouri, saw some hail that had to be 2-3” in diameter. These were taken 30-45 minutes after the storm was over. Saw a couple that looking like baseballs that were gone by the time I got outside.

 

We got hit with hail like that a year ago in May. Cost $35,000 just to our vehicles in the camper.

 

I emptied our rain gauge yesterday when I was covering firewood, we had some heavy rains overnight and this morning so after 1 cup of coffee, I checked the rain gauge and we received 1 inch of rain.

It rained hard enough that it turned the rain gauge around, it was facing south but when I checked it the numbers were facing north.

It was 64 this morning with the smoke still hanging around, were just started getting some sun.

 

That's horrible, prayers being said for their family.

 

Just under 3/4 of and inch fell last night in Southern VT. Much less than we could have gotten thankfully.

 

Cloudy, showers and a heavier thunderstorm; not as warm; thunderstorms can bring flooding downpours, hail and damaging wind gusts.

The above is for our area on Friday, just under an inch of rain.

 

Looks like we could have some thunderstorms as well. Let’s hope they’re not severe.

 

We had something we were going to do tomorrow but since we have possible chitty weather tomorrow, we did that today.

We were getting low on propane for the grill so we had the extra tank filled and we also purchased 4.5 gallons of gas for the generator, that will give us plenty with what we had if the power goes out.

 

Backwoods Savage , it looks like you have some high winds heading at you.

 

For our area.

WHEN...From Friday afternoon through late Friday night.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may
become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running
high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Another round of heavy, scattered thunderstorms capable of
producing heavy rainfall is expected. Rainfall may exceed 1.5
inches in an hour which would result in flash flooding.
Saturated soil conditions will cause rainfall to runoff into
creeks and streams, which remain high.
