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.
Yes.. the lightning was amazing. I wish the storm had come at night so I could have tried snapping some lightning photos.

3.28" of rain over here according to my station. Never had that much rain so fast before. As bad as it was, hard to believe places just to the west got almost twice that amount. That storm sat over there for a quite a while before sliding east.

Radar estimated precipitation map is attached. Sometimes they are fairly inaccurate but for this storm it appears dead-on.
