Oh, and there is ANOTHER storm predicted to roll into Broward today at about the same time as yesterday. Should I record that one too?
PING!
I think Uganda leads the world in the number of lightning strikes but Polk County Florida is the leader in deaths by lightning. Often, powerful strikes come ‘out of nowhere’ with no advance warning.
Watch out for ccd chip burn-in. I had permanent damage to a digital camera from lightning image capture. Now, that was back in 2000. It was a brand new Kodak digital camera and they replaced it without incident. I think the storage module at the time was 64 meg.
That was a long line of of strong t-storms, up to Vero Beach by radar. My mother called yesterday from Martin Co. because it scared her.
Storms in Jupiter, Tequesta yesterday were downright frightening. Top ten I’ve seen in my 35 years here probably.
Got caught under this line of storms just as we were docking the boat and unloading in Pompano. Quite dangerous, but I was glad we didn’t have the outriggers up at the time. Needless to say we tied up the boat quickly and didn’t eve TOUCH the shore power, which I’ll connect late this morning.
Lately, the storms have been staying inshore and not crossing US 1, which was what we expected yesterday. THAT didn’t happen though.
Great video
Stay Safe, FRiend!
Was that 7/6 or 7/16?
