Holy crap at the storms to our west that a nasty looking radar

Big thunderboomers just west of us could be another great light show in the works.

Thunderstorm exploded right over head a bit ago with huge cracks of thunder lighting slimutarliy once again in a couple night spain.no warning it was coming went from nothing to all of sudden insane bangs of thunder scared the crap out of me lol.just as quickly as the storm form it went proof just as quickly amazing.

Looks like line is bowing out now on the eastern shore.

Nice line of storms heavey rains up and down the metro reagions.quite an impressive rain event this evening across the reagion.

Some very heavy rains around baltimore good thing we have been over all dry or we would have a flood threat this evening with the slow nature of the rain and storms.there are flood warnings in effect.

This is insane Video of lighting hitting a pole yikes!

Happy Birthday Phil.power blink a couple times but thankfully stayed on.

Interesting storm motion today one line moving east while batch south moving north.

Worst lighting storm of the season here went by .it was lighting thunder slimutarly for a good 5 to 15 minutes time Frame really loud shaking the whole house with bang after bang of thunder.some of the storms produce funnels on the eastern shore earlyer this afternoon.none that touch the ground I don't believe but comes to show these storms are quite impressive today.

It would be unusual to close out such a weak cycle this soon.it going to be interesting how this shapes up the next few years.

I don't blame you it was way to hot humied to do anything really out doors yesterday last night.

Another great lightshow to the south as the storms move southeast away it leaving with a great show tonight.funny enough it in the same spot where they were hammered last nigh.

Yeah certainly a nasty day.

Also big thunderstorms forming to our west could be a loud late afternoon evening as this front feeds into all this heat.

You should be getting quite a light show to you're east phil big batch south of Annapolis which is now severe weather warned in Calvert county.

Beautiful lightning show w/ the storms to the west.

The cells have weakend then reformed weakend reformed which has been the pattern for tonight activity the cell that just left me has repulsed on the eastern shore also activity south of Annapolis.big storm now south of Annapolis that batch has really grown over the last 10 to 15 min also another cell has went up near Martinsburg.

Beautiful lightning show w/ the storms to the west.

classic summer evening.

Feels a lot worse then it did doing the day for sure.one lonly cell just to the west the bad thing is even if it rains it makes it feel even worse after it rains with this type of heat.

Some nasty thunderstorms in southern pa northeast maryland into del at the moment.northeast maryland is a feed ground for thunderstorms radar is alot of times pretty heavey doing storm action days there.

Just came back from myrtle beach vacation this afternoon.over all a nice 10 days but did get storms just about every night there there was one really good lighting display over the ocean one night.p.s where did these storms come from here tonight line exploded over parts of our reagion I see.was it really expecting that.

Got a heavey down pour earlyer this afternoon with some lighting and thunder some breeze other wise mostly weak for the most part.

Most data is pretty strong on coast to coast heat coming mid month.only PNW and new england would escape this pattern.

Strangely I didn't think of it. When we were driving I was watching the radar in motion and trying to determine where to get off the highway. When we got there we were just glad to be off the highway and alive.

Honestly Phil, that was the most jaw dropping lightning I've seen in a very long time. It was hypnotic. I didn't even think to record it. Then there was that one bolt that looked like it had to be over 60' wide when it hit the ground. None of this small strike stuff. This looked more like Arizona storms. It also looked like someone was turning a light switch on and off real fast behind all these bolts. Crazy. Hrs of this stuff. Sorry I was so hypnotized. Oh, you could smell the ozone really strong and the hair raised on your body. Wild.

So, okay, what the heck is creating this electrical rich environment?

this had to of been awesome yet scary to watch in live prime time there last night.

HUGE a** electrical storm on the way home to Ft. worth from the Red River around midnight last night.

So bad even the truckers pulled off and refused to drive in to it. We took their lead and pulled off and grabbed some coffee and watched the show From a distance. The widest and craziest acting lightning I've ever seen. Cloud to ground and cloud to cloud that looked like God was ripping the sky in half. Really apocalyptic.

We could see black sheets of rain pouring down in the lightning. Heavy heavy rain. But it was the lightning. One massive bolt went half way across the Texas sky (covered county wide) then did a 90* turn down to the ground and just fried whatever it hit. Stunning stuff. Storm went for well over 3 hours. These were the widest bolts I've ever seen of lavender blue lightning. Gorgeous and deadly.

I haven't witnessed anything like it in many years. This has been the most lightning active year in recent memory.

A bolt of lightning hit a neighbors house 2 nights ago in a similar storm and burned the house to the ground. Total loss. These are good people, retired, and this was their retirement dream. Could have been me as we are only a block away. The bolt struck and woke the entire area up as it hit with a massive crash. Storm went on for about 4 hrs.

Geez! What a summer.
