Severe Thunderstorm Sideswipe

Well my headache predicted the storm again.....I'm 3 for 3. Hanover got a nasty little storm this afternoon, but it didn't really drop that much rain. I think it was developing overhead and it got worse a couple downs south. Enfield had one inch hail and 8 inch diameter trees down. Up in Tunbridge VT. a grain bin was overturned and was blown 200 feet, and a barn's roof was ripped off. Sounds like a very localized microburst to me. Either that, or less likely, a weak tornado. I bet ya the National Weather service will be checking out that area to see the extent of the damage.

Meanwhile, there was only five minutes of rain, and the dewpoint is even higher now, so it is disgusting outside. Temp is 80 with a dp of 75. UGH! Temp is up to 85 in the apt and I'm pretty much ready for winter again.

I took a few pics of the thunderstorm, and I'm going to post a few.















This sucker kind of died when it neared Hanover, and then blew up again right over town, and then pulsed up even more towards Enfield. You can see that in the pics. Lots of lightning, brief gusty winds, and a quick downpour was all it produced. But the lightning was vivid enough for people to take cover.

More thunder is on the way possibly late tonight, if the storms in Canada hold together. Tomorrow is a better chance for nasty thunderstorms as a backdoor front attempts to cross the area, though I don't know if its going to make it. Either way, thunder is possible, with temps up into the low 90s. Tuesday could be the hottest day, as the main front has slowed down so we will prob squeeze out one more awful day, with a potential for nasty thunderstorms later in the day. Lots to watch over! Hopefully I can get some sleep.

BTW, it hit 91 in Lebanon, and 92 in Hanover.
