Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[AirheadD8]

Amazing how fast the storms developed yesterday. I was out in my driveway for a little while and heard thunder. I checked my phone radar and saw a big cell headed towards my friends house in Bangor so I shot him a text.  He didn’t get it, he was on his old backhoe doing some driveway maintenance , saw a flash and got drenched immediately. 
 

I got very little but Trexlertown area by Spring Creek looked like a river. There was even a water rescue in the shopping center parking lot.

Got crushed by a storm today/evening.  Got lucky here and just had a bunch of branches and some downed fence panels. neighbors missing a trampoline. White circle had a confirmed tornado and destroyed a few houses.

So you did use heat?  I walked out the door this morning in a tshirt and walked right back in and grabbed my hoodie.

Stayed at my friend’s off grid cabin last night. Elevation about 10,500’. This is the latest in the season she can remember it snowing.

So lucky.

@saltyant does the lack of rainfall concern you with respect to the snowmaking ponds?   They have to be like the song from Forrest Gump,”Running on Empty”

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

The smoke from the wildfires in Canada is nuts.  I haven’t seen haze like this in a long time. 

[AirheadD8]

Damn , just walked out on my porch and started coughing from the smoke. 
Looks like we’re not even in the worst of it. . 

[Benm]

its god damn delicious. 

[Barb]

Scared to see what my Jeep looks like when this blows over. Holy shit. Quite the hail storm 

 

[RidgeRacer]

Most rain we’ve seen in a long time today. Loving it.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

As of 7pm it’s rained 6/10 of an inch at the Lehigh valley airport.  It’s still raining.  I like the sound of the rain as long as it’s not during ski season.

Is jeep ok?  The one hail storm we had I was surprised my car sustained no damage maybe some scratches 

[Barb]

Surprisingly no damage I can see. I think because the hail itself was relatively small. It was a very intense storm. It looks like it snowed all over town. Streets are full of hail 

[AirheadD8]

The Smoke is back but not to the apocalyptic degree. I wanted to fly a cross country flight yesterday but turned around at Kutztown because the visibility was crap . decent day but bad in areas, later in the day things improved but still damn haze . 

 

It’s still hanging around today ☹️I hope it rains more in Canada . 

[Barb]

Some pretty insane weather we have been experiencing. Last night at Red Rocks there was an intense hail storm. Golf ball size hail 100 people injured. Concussions, broken bones. The videos I have seen looked scary. We just had pea size here in Boulder. Thunder and lightning seemed to go on all throughout the night. 
 

Its 1:32pm here, sky is black and more thunder and lightening.

Holy crap…here I am glad I’m not under the sea….the weather is going to continue getting wilder.  The snow is still like ten feet deep at Sonara pass California near mammoth…and it’s almost chilly here today.

Wow some serious storm! 

Also looks like Canadas still on fire coast to coast.

I’ve never been to red rocks and been to Colorado over a dozen times.  On my next trip I’m going to the Mint(not the steakhouse) where they make the coins and also try and see Barb.
