I drove from Schen where it started all the way home to EG, took me 1.2 hours to get home last night. People were pulled off the road, craziest shit I’ve ever seen.

crazyest storm I’ve ever seen was the micro burst that tore through Guilderland back in the summer of 2002 trees were down every where including 2 on my house and one on my car that I had bought the day before the storm came in. The ice storm this winter was pretty nuts too but just not as violent feeling as a good thunder storm.

As always the rich residents of Saratoga paid for it not to rain and for it to stay warm and sunny yesterday. And it did

Our lights flickered a few times but no loss of power here. Just lots of lightning and golf balls falling out of the sky. I just went out to the parking lot at work to look over my car since its dry now. I’ve got two new dents in my roof.

Well the storm in our neck of the woods had enough uplift that water droplets were cycled up through the storm several times adding a layer of ice each time until there was too much weight to keep lifting it and it fell as hail. Takes alot of upward wind to lift and cycle a golf ball sized hail stone kinda makes you respect mother natures power a bit ha ha. Edit: @ vot’s post.

When I was coming back from work at latham last night it was so humid you could barely see anything, milk all the way to keeler Honda. And what’s with the thunderstorms twice a day now? Crazy tropical weather.
