mattp Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 We just had a burst of thunder that was incredible. I told my wife that it might be something else -- did an airplane blow up or something? It rolled on in a way that I don't associate with thunder. Five minutes later, we heard a humongous crash and the sky opens up. Our deck was covered with graupel in less than a minute. Wow. I've never seen such a storm except in the mountains. And I grew up in tornado alley. Smack. Bang. Graupel. No wind. No rain. Storm over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalius Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yikes! My entire house shook from that thunder. I didn't think it was thunder though at first - way too violent. Glad it was just thunder and not something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzchristy Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 That was CRAZY last night! I thought a plane had crashed, too. My room mate thought we were being bombed. (By who?? Pittsburgh, perhaps?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
