Heavy Thunderstorms Rumble through South Florida

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Wed Jul 28, 2004 8:13 pm

Several meteorological weather factors have combined to produced heavy rain and ferocious thunderstorms over the southern part of the Sunshine State, Florida; dramatically sunshine was not evident most of the day except for a few hours during the morning and the afternoon. Yesterday I received in my Rain Gouge 1.59" of tropical rain; only today the total has been 1.84" and the night still is not over. Adding both days give me a grand total of 3.43". Tomorrow the day is expected to be similar to today and more rain is expected to fall to mitigate some of the dry over this region. Maybe after this disturbed weather leaves the peninsula it will find better conditions to develop further. Everyone like me is hope to finally start the season with the first tropical depression and not have to look to other basins to find tropical activity.

For someone from Florida to state this, it must have been really heavy stuff (knowing the amount of thunderstorm activity that Florida normally gets).

The most significant thunderstorm I've ever experienced was way back in the summer of 1980 when I visited relatives in Ohio. One flash of lightning was particular violent. It's hard to describe: the night lit up like midday immediately accompanied by a deafeningly loud BANG that seemed to shake the entire house before rolling off into the distance. My cousin and myself were sure that the bolt hit his ham radio antenna but when we checked the equipment the next morning everything was fine.

Very scary stuff, man.

I just wrote the statement in that way to make it more interesting, because everyone knows that feroceous thunderstorms rumbling through South Florida are extremely common especially during the summer. :lol:
