Just called in to the NWS with my rain total of 1.91" for the evening (it's over now.) The guy told me there has been a flooding fatality in Ashland tonight as a family tried to leave a campground their car was swept away by a flash flood of a stream. All but their little girl were rescued.

Scott, I've believe it (rotation.) Judging by the amount of lightning this thing had, I would surmise that it had a great deal of turbulence. This was some of the most incredible lightning I've ever seen. At several points during the storm I saw lightning hit Bear Island in 2 places, Weirs Beach, and Meredith Neck in 2 or 3 places all within a split second of each other. And that sort of behavior kept happening. I think Bear Is. got hit at least 10 time tonight... Black Cat once... Three Mile, once or twice... Meredith Neck, a million times... All told, it was constant lightning and constant thunder for three hours. The silence now is noticeable.
