And The Sky Was Opened (NYC Thunderstorms)

We had this last night. It was pretty dull.

Yeah the post-storm sky last night at around 7:30 was incredible

Ugh, funky sewage smell side effect

I Got Wet

Last night I left work a bit early bc I commute by Vespa. Got stuck in a brief sun-shower on my way home and drivers were assholes, but finally arrived home. I went inside to set my stuff down in a hallway, passed by a window, and an ocean was falling from the skies.

Grateful for the near miss. Less grateful for the city bus driver who threw his drink on me out his window.

I was doused, umbrella and all

nothing that the power of the free market can’t fix

Buckets of rain...

well now

I hear it dropping

Hello

biggun

Did you get the alert?

It seemed especially loud.

Just heard this weird little burst of wind and thought it was going to be one of those mini-twisters.

pelting the women and children
who run

hail hit her

Seemed to be raining snowing and hailing all at once

*covers ears*

Lots of downed trees out there, I just saw on my excursion

lots of scattered recycling, I just saw on my dog walk

We're in Western Nassau County and for 1-2 hours this was almost as scary as Sandy. Lost power for about 5 hours and trees down everywhere. One fell right between two neighbors houses, grazing one slightly.

Wow, that's scary. In our part of Brooklyn it was just trees shaking everywhere and about an hour of really serious rain - looking down at my landlady's backyard we could see tree leaves all over the place, but only one of the two dozen potted plants was downed.

big ol chunk of tree blocking my street in queens for about half an hour until fdny rolled up and dismembered it with a chainsaw in about 90 seconds

hell yes (unless that was an explosion)

hail yes morelike

Did I dream that?

That was a cool 15 minutes. But I was trying to nap

That’s the way we like it !

i feel like i need a MUCH fuller story on what is happening there and why but jesus christ

Ugh

fuckin zeus just zapped my block, yikes

.

lotta that going around

Sounds ominous

Sky hasn’t opened yet, just phones beeping about upcoming flooding potential.

I bumped the hurricane thread already, but this is going to be uncomfortably close (we're NW Nassau county).

I'm in Orange Cty, we're probably going to miss a direct hit but t-storms predicted for about 10 hours tomorrow. We'll take down any loose things outside.

excited for the subway photos

Nature, right?

It’s nature’s way

natures mta

This is going to be a non-event.

It’s already an event for me.

here we go

W/e

Is it bad?
