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...

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.

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.

Now you got to hook that to the callboxes so it broadcasts over the course everywhere
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.

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.....
