Just wondering who else on the East Coast is experiencing this tremendous thunder and hail storm. I'm used to thunder but we don't get a lot of hail storms in Rhode Island. The hail seems to have passed finally. The clatter was tremendous!
Hmm. Just had a heck of a thunderstorm with massive lightning flashes pass thru here, too. I love it when I get the auto-reboot feature on my PC to kick-in without being asked. Thank goodness for surge protectors.
One of these days, I gotta get one of those UPS devices to bridge the outage spikes.
Oh. I'm on the "east coast", too - but 1200 miles from R.I. - I'm in ( not so sunny ) Florida.
So where's the pics? We're just skirting the edge of those storms here in lower CT. So far just one brief shower that served no purpose other than to soak me while I changed a license plate. That's a shame too, 'cause I sort of enjoy the lightning.
Hi Melismatica -
We had terrible storms here in Boston last night around 3-5 AM, and again this afternoon around 3:00 or so. Torrential rain and wicked (that was a New England expression used on purpose for all non-New Englanders! LOL) lightning.
No hail. Sounds like you got it worse.
They were short lived, but intense.

In the deep south, we call that: The Afternoon.
Everyday for the past, oh, four weeks or so it's been sunny in the am, rising to ~90deg F., then Boom! three o'clock hits with the compulsary thunderstorm. It set off the fire alarm in my building at work today; an interesting situation: be chased outside by lightning messing with the alarms, only to be hit by a bolt! Admirable tactics (and I work for the Army!)
