Thunderstorms and a Camera/Camcorder

[DSJ™]

I'm back!    Nice thunderstorm.  

I heard the rumbling when I was replying to a thread & hey, I got sometime left then bang.    

Right on top of us, the flood gates opened & here we go. I shut down the PC, & sat outside for awhile. Lots of lighting & thunder. So I figured I'll take a break & watch some TV, ha...I sat there a watched the special effects through the window.  

There was one bolt of lightning that caught me off guard, what a flash & I said to Sherry that one is going to be loud & man was it ever. The townhouse just rocked, then another flash & this thunder was in the distance but loud again. I looked at Sherry & said, "St. Albert's been wiped off the map!".    

Simmered down now & just drizzling but we had some big weather warnings here & around the city. We have a big yard sale staring tommorw till Sunday so I hope the weather turns out good. Bloody mosquitoes are bad with all this rain & heat , there the size of B52's!  

A couple weeks back we had another good storm during the evening & my friend never shuts his PC off, well in the morning it was toast. The power supply was fried. He replaced it & still nothing so he took it in & his motherboard was fried too. $500. later...

Nothing beats that little storm we had on Sunday in July. It woke me up & I heard the hail but I just rolled over. Well what a shock that storm was.

The storm just missed us by a few blocks!    Damage to the city was pegged over $110 million. This was the Storm of the Century!

Yeah, I heard about that storm. Man, that must have been frightening.

So, anyone else get in the way of a few Tornadic storms? We had two here about a month or two back. No tornados, but huge wall clouds. One south of the city, one on top of the city. It was rather interesting.

Holy hell Dale!  As sick as it may sound, I would have loved to have been there to witness a storm like that.  Glad to hear you survived the Canadian hurricane!

Well we had another storm move through last night. Thunder boomer's & rain. We just had the wind in our neck of the woods but other places of the city, well they got soaked.

Just before the football game between Edmonton & Saskatchewan, Commonwealth Stadium got a big time rain fall. The picture in the paper today showed a few guys with large squeegee's cleaning the field.

I was at my parents today & they almost got flooded. The water was just pouring in the back yard & came within inches from the door. Luckily it stopped. They even had some marble sized hail.

The roads were a mess in there area, mud, leaves & crap all over the place & a few tree's had broken branches. Even a house in the city got hit by lightning!

This year has sucked for tstorms.  Too cold, no heat to build up.  Very sad.

Here in central Mass we have been hit hard this Summer with Boomers.  The worst I have ever seen or heard in my lifetime.  We had hail, flooding and a tornado sighted in town also.  The weather has been off all the US from the sounds of everybody here on the boards.  Wonder if if will make for a nasty winter

[DSJ™]

Winter may come early, our grass & some leaves on the trees are starting to turning brown.   

Forecast for the week is nothing but rain! 

I just hope we get an indian summer.

[Vator]

Oddly enough, our leaves are already starting to turn brown and fall.

Very strange

This is crazy. It's 8°C & pouring rain. Still no break for a few days.

My backpacking trip in the end of Sept might be in limbo, according to the trail conditons, restricted access is in affect. There are 4 of use going & they will only let groups of 6 & must hike in tight groups of six or more & some campgrounds are closed.

It's berry season so black & grizzly bears are roaming. 

May have to find an alternate route.

Well Friday was the 5 year anniversary of my first true supercell. Pretty interesting that we had some storms this time too.

Currently, since the front has passed it's overcast and 69 degrees. I really love it when we get the wedge of cool air against the mountains. Makes for really nice days just to sit around.

Just noticed Brent said it was raining again. Around midnight last nite the sky opened up & what a show. Lots of lightning & boomers & man did it rain. The roads were just flooding with water. We still have another risk of a severe thunderstorm today.
