Line looks okay for me right now. Constant thunder currently

 

[Shaggy]

Insane lightning with this storm

I think it’s mostly been Central GA and points South.

It's most of the northern hemosphere.

Excessive heat warnings as far as the eye can see for thr Deep South.

High SSTs = high dews

I’ve never seen anything like it. This has to be one of the most epic heat waves in recorded history.

Doesn’t hold a candle to 2016 here at least.

So much lightning. Hottest storm I've seen in years. Had several strikes around my house

Boy, I went outside a few minutes ago and was stunned. The sky has cleared, the humidity is noticeably lower, the haze is gone, and it's in the 70s! Almost like one of those early September fallish fronts we get sometimes; its beautiful out there!

Still way below even last year here on 100s so it's not everywhere

People would die if we had 1936 again... 65 days over 100. This is nothing

Agree w/@Shaggy insane amounts of lighting,, Heavy rains.. then clearing Skies...

We MAY, or MayNOT get Round #2..

It’s pretty wild. I’ve been following New Orleans and Houston and they’ve been topping out at near/above 100 every day for the past week or so, and that looks to continue for the next week. With high DPs, they’re looking at daily heat indexes topping out in the 110-115 range and dipping only into the 90s at night, which is pretty miserable. No relief!

They’ve been pretty busy so far this month.

That was also manmade with the dust bowl and it was way drier so the air was easier to heat.

Growing huge amounts of corn etc keeps it cooler but more humid.

@SENC

Waterspout?

 

[Shaggy]

Waterspout?

I'd guess that would be likely with those velocities.

The storms today brought that extra heat with that lightning man what a show

 

[Shaggy]

My phone did a horrible job picking up the bolts snd sound. At around the 15 to 20 second mark a really close strike hit and it was so close it sounded more like a pop than cracking thunder. I believe it hit a backhoe on the street over from me

 

[znel52]

Whiffed again. The usual falling apart on final approach. Heard one decent clap of thunder and got a little bit of rain. Sigh lol.
