within 3 minutes it went from grey but being able to see clear across to 0 visibility. also the window gets in the way of the picture.

tehresa, Monday, 11 August 2008 14:53 (seventeen years ago)

Hello

Horace Silver Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 02:10 (sixteen years ago)

I love all the storms this summer. To me this is what living on the East Coast (or not living on the West Coast because it is also a memory from the Midwest) is all about.

youn, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 02:11 (sixteen years ago)

I have the AC on and blinds shut.

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 03:50 (sixteen years ago)

I ordered takeout, waited 15 minutes, went looking for my shoes to go get it, and then ... boom.

nabisco, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 03:55 (sixteen years ago)

I love being inside with the AC on when it starts to thunder outside.

Mordy, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 03:58 (sixteen years ago)

glass office towers are a somewhat disconcerting place from which to observe the furies of nature.

for a minute or two the rain was blowing up. then it started to around in big circles.

flying squid attack (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 05:38 (sixteen years ago)

got to the radio station with two bags of records shortly before this minor thunderstorm eventtt. the lightning was nice, and some nice booming thunder, but it blew its load too early. i could have gone for a few more hours.

ian, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 05:46 (sixteen years ago)

yeah by the time i got off work all was calm.

flying squid attack (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 06:01 (sixteen years ago)

chutesy ladders (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 07:34 (sixteen years ago)

Somebody tonight was telling me that there had been a tornado in Central Park. And that a hundred trees were felled. And that they were in a restaurant on a boat called the Frying Pan on the river looking at the lightning on the water and that the serving trays were flying around like playing cards, as thrown by Ricky Jay.

Horace Silver Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 20 August 2009 04:08 (sixteen years ago)

Well, I added the part about Ricky Jay but the rest they told me.

Horace Silver Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 20 August 2009 04:09 (sixteen years ago)

hundreds of trees

Yeah just made it home during that, it really opened up just as I was leaping onto my stoop. Of course everything is only hotter and muggier now that it's over.

Silence, followed by unintelligible stammering. (Doctor Casino), Friday, 12 August 2016 00:05 (nine years ago)

I got pelted with some heavy early raindrops then ducked into a coffee shop to wait it out.
