Nasty little storm brewing...
 

Nasty little storm brewing on Narragansett Bay at the moment, lightning, possible 60MPH guts, nickel sized hail...

This wasn't there 20 minutes ago...

guess i should close the windows.

Hail sounds like the inside of a popcorn bag...

:uhoh: I hope our S-B pogie fleet is off the water by now! :bl:

Nothing worse than being in a big wide flat, 20 minute wade from safety and seeing a big black cloud with flashes coming quickly in your direction. Thats the problem with this time of year. Storms pop up quick. Be safe.

That's my thought exactly...

they're mostly an early morning crowd though right? welll. maybe not the Clam-man

looks nasty all along the RI-MASS southern shoreline now.
I almost got washed away up Worcester way yesterday, heaviest rain I had seen in sometime.

With all this nasty weather about, its impossible to believe not a drop has fallen on my property in almost a week, save for a few sprinkles.

Just sprinkles in Mansfield also.
By the time I passed your town last pm 495 was dry road

rumbling this way...and getting dark...
we had to scramble last nite...some nice lightning...looked cool, then got a little scary :eek5:

The thunder is a distance aways from my house, but those lousy looking clouds are everywhere.

Brutal thunderstorms in Wareham right now13:38 Lightning every 15 - 30 sec Hoping for the lights togo out.

IT'S RAINING ICE CUBES IN ORLEANS.UP TO THE SIZE OF CRANBERRIES.AND A SHOT OF THUNDER THAT DAMN NEAR KNOCKED ME OUT OF THE CHAIR.SHUTTING DOWN,BYE!!!!

My rig is in Fairhaven ... looks like I'll get a free deck wash!!

Not this time. :hidin:

NO NO NO!!! That means I will not have any central air!!

I wont be able to mow the yard tonight, again!! Darn, I hate when that happens.

Here comes round two out of RI for us SE MA folks.

minutes ago @ my office...

Very little rain though.

At my club the horn goes off!!!

looks like Marshfield/Norwell/Scituate is going to get smoked in about 20 minutes.

That's the next step. We have a strike guard system and its top shelf.
Well worth the investment. All we need to do is add the sirens and it will be fully automated. Any lighning with 5 miles of the property and it goes off until the all clear function disables the sirens.

LIGHT THUNDERSTORMS MY ASS
that one came down less than a 1/4 mile from the house. :fury:

As long as it goes off and we can hit the trout pond thats fine

I just the 3 wt 9' I built up in Maine, I would love to use it you know where.

I was working in Pawtucket this afternoon I couldn"t believe how big the hail was and how long it lasted for haven't seen that in along time.Then I had to drive through Pawtucket it looked liked there was a snow storm

Was out in Prov. River in the r/v.

Rode the storm out at Save the Bay and made a break for it after it passed. made it back to GBay just ahead of the back-edge of it.

serious wind, G50-60kt and 4-5ft rollers up the river around fields point.
yuck. Boat took a beating at the dock, but otherwise unscathed.

One of the quahogers got struck and fried his boat/motor. He's fine, but his engine is shot.

That was the forecast.
If severe had been forecasted at 0800 I never would have shoved off for a day of surveying.....
