Got some large healthy branches down at my house.

 

[Brick Tamland]

Hearing thunder now.

Finally no Raleigh storm split. Took this one head on

I've got another big branch down in my backyard and lost power for a minute or two but I think the worst of the weather is over for me. There is a lot of lightning with this line of storms

The lightning core seems to be lagging the heaviest precip. Interesting. Got two strikes within 0.25 miles of my location after the heaviest precip had already ended

 

[Brick Tamland]

Thundering good now.

 

[BullCityWx]

We got scraped by the line at the far north end. Pretty average storm tbh. Although, if I was to be real with you, when you’re a homeowner sometimes you’re glad these things miss you.

 

[Brick Tamland]

The thunder and lightning here is legit.

 

[BullCityWx]

Every major east coast airport from Atlanta to NYC was on ground stop except PHL at some point or another tonight.

 

[Rain Cold]

Gusted to probably 20. Whoopee

 

[Tarheel1]

This honestly looks like a big ole bust for Atlanta, Radar not real impressive, IMO?

This aged well!

[Brick Tamland]

Lots of thunder and lightning, but not much wind here.

 

[Brick Tamland]

Well, lasted about 30 minutes. Pretty much over now. Was a good light show.
