Whoopdee doo. We had one clap of thunder, very little wind, and some rain.

Just as well.

Unrelated, there is a fairly good sized power outage going on in our area that hit around 1845, we still have no lights.

According to ConEd they have about a thousand customers out. Trusty 6KW generator to the rescue....

Storm was a bust.

To bad group 1 had to hang and assist.

You go weather chasers....

[markmets415 524]

Well I guess it is better to have this thing overplayed and have us on alert then have us taken by surprise, seems though more and more storms are being blown up, I just hope the "boy who cried wolf" thingee doesn't start coming into play when the storms don't pan out.
