Yesterdays flash rain washed out and flooded many roads that had a depression it it. It also triggered a bunch of fire alarms and some of the local businesses the employees had to leave the building because they couldn't stand the sirens/alarms. Folks just had to wait for the fire department to come check it out before they could allow people back inside.

Today I saw those DARK clouds rolling in over the edge of Westborough on my way to the chiropractor and knew it was going to be NASTY. I ran into a volunteer at ACONE who was from Hopkington and she told me the large quarter sized hail they got yesterday! The news after dinner showed towns just south of here got nailed again with some micro-bursts and MORE hail.

I've never seen hail bigger than 3/16" diameter tops. I'm bummed out I missed the quarter sized stuff ...... LOL. Blah, if my car got dented up from it, I wouldn't care.

That was insane. I live in Hopkinton and when I saw those clouds I ran.
To the basement. Lots of trees/ poles down on my street.
The hail was so loud I doubt we would have heard a tornado.
This stuff is scary. They tell us now it was a MICRO BURST/ SUPER CELL Ya right, 80 MPH wind slams.
It's all cleaned up now. I wonder what will hit us today?

The Weather Channel is predicting a 60% chance of locusts and a pestilence of toads by the weekend...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
