About 60 miles north of NYC. It's horrible about the tornadoes, though

Thank You..Was just curious given what you said~~And yes, it is horrible~~~Strangest dang weather this year, for sure..For many parts of the Country I mean....Not just this....

Tonight I watched as the most beautiful Thunder Storm made its way in and it simply was stunning ..Amazing how it can be so beautiful one minute and yet cause such devastation as well...
Under a flood watch as the rain slams against the out side making note of its power~~~

Hope everyone is as safe and risk free as can be~~~And for those impacted, my heart knows their sorrow....Just terrible~~

The front 'split in two' and all the (rather milder) stormy weather passed to our north and south. We barely got sprinkles. Weird. Today was the first day it got over 60deg this year and it also just broke 70.

Here's a photo of a thunderstorm that passed to our south and east over Memorial day weekend last year. (It was fairly deep into evening twilight with the top of the storm still in better light and I was testing my new full-frame DSLR-- it passed the test.)

Maybe half of the time when there's a long, trailing cold front going across the eastern US like that, the precipitation or storms will just kind of 'go away' for a while in the part that's coming through here. We've had drought summers in just the area within about 30 miles of here because every single squall-line front failed to send a storm through. (And that's pretty much how the interior northeast gets its rain, most summers.) A solid line of red and purple on the radar stretching from Georgia to Maine with one (count 'em) little gap where it's light green. . .
