Had a wicked storm cell come through the area earlier today. Lightning was crashing so close the booms were setting off the car alarms all around the neighborhood.

Fuck Canada, I’m in goddamn West Virginia and couldn’t take my walks today because the forecast today was just “smoke.” Looks like shit out here. Hopefully the thunder storms come through tomorrow and Saturday and move out some of this bullshit.

holy fuck. Canada is burning the fuck down.
news.yahoo.com
499 fires, 230 burning out of control.
Where are wildfires burning in Canada right now?
The climate crisis, caused by burning fossil fuels, is driving larger, more frequent and erratic wildfires

At day 294 Vegas hits 100 (102) for the first time since September of last year. Cities in North and South Dakota beat Vegas to the mark by a couple weeks.
Forecasts call for temps above 110 the next few days.

jesus christ i got fucking derechowned on thursday morning. surprised it got so little coverage in the national news, probably knocked out power to several hundred thousand people.
Was almost comical, got a tstorm warning on my phone just as i was settling in for a nap, got dressed and wandered back upstairs, finally got around to actually checking the radar and had just enough time to see the near perfect bow shape and say 'hey wait isnt that a fucking derecho?!?' before the powerful wind that always precedes one came tearing through and we lost power immediately, maybe even from the first fucking wind gust.
Swear to god the damage would have only been half as bad if Ameren fulfilled their fucking legal responsibility to trim back tree branches near power lines. Shit's like PGI in California, albeit on a much smaller scale than a wildfire.

we get storms like that once in a while in Jersey. wind so bad people think they're a tornado. last one knocked trees down on my street and a branch got shoved through my screen window, surprised it didnt shatter the window. its fucking scary. they dont call them a derecho though. i think its called a microburst. glad you got your power back, Gavypoo.

What made these surreal clouds that signaled arrival of damaging derecho and 80-mph winds?
Just in time for July 4th, a cloud formation that looked like something out the movie Independence Day filled the skies of central Illinois Thursday in the moments before a derecho blasted the region with ferocious winds.

We had something like that hit west TN last weekend power out for a ton of people. Base I work at had no power until Friday. Was coming back from camping in MO tonight and when we got to Holcomb I thought we were going to get nuked by a tornado. Couldn't see shit, wind was crazy and debris was flying everywhere. Had to pull over at a church under a little overhang by the doors till it passed.
Edit: Pulled the dashcam footage. Doesnt really relay how much it was rocking my car around. Sounded like hail started to hit the car but think it was just the wind really rocketing the rain into it, didn't see any evidence of ice on the ground etc.. when it passed.
