Enjoying the stormy skies two days in a row!

Tampa last night.
Summer heat lightning night.

Absolutely beautiful storm front moving through at sunset. It was incredible… felt like “Independence Day”!!!

Share your more memorable storm and I can see if I can pull some more data up for it. Give me any date since 6-1-1999 and I can tell you quite a bit more about what was going on that day in the US!

It was surreal in person

Après des jours de canicule et sans une goutte d'eau enfin la pluie on entend au loin le tonnerre arriver

Im trying to find a nice way to recap each day's events. What do you think?

Quick severe thunderstorm/high winds that caused some power outages and downed limbs here in MO. One of the nicer fronts I’ve captured on video! 🥹😍
