Yeah, we had that storm in Massachusetts too… But it didn’t even last a half hour. Very disappointing. :(

Milwaukee had the most rain it’s had since 1917 or something like that. It was crazy and I was stuck driving in it. We had a couple hydroplaning scares.

That storm front must have been huge because we had it down here in the Philadelphia area too. I love watching thunderstorms and have not seen that much lightning ever. We had some damage to our house and lost power overnight.

I remember as a kid I could stay up all night and still be wide awake the next day, full of energy. I only ever needed 2, maybe 3 hours of sleep.
Now it’s more like 12, maybe 13…

Since moving from a place with very few rainy days every year to a place who’s weather is described as “Don’t like the weather? Wait five minutes,” we’ve been watching the storms a lot. Thunder and lightening are totally new to my 6 year old and she’s not quite sure what to make of it. I, on the other hand, am quite content to sit and watch the lightening. I’ve seen more lightening in the 10 months we’ve been here than all together in my 26 years before.

Yeah! That thunder storm was crazy. It made its way to Montreal. I work for a non profit sailing organization for para and quadriplegics with adapted boats; we had a couple of boats out on the water when the manager comes running to me and tells me there is a huge storm coming. So we call our two boats back in and barely get them de-rigged in time. I swear to god, with seconds to spare we get everyone out of the boats and take the sails off. HUGE STORM. Biggest i have ever seen, must have been gusting 40 knots.
