Currently in the middle of this:
In case anyone is curious, I'm in the purple area. I have a shitty phone. Yeah, I know. However, that's the worst part of the storm. There's been some extremely bad lightning here, hail and strong wind gusts of over 60mph. We were told to go to an interior room - like a basement. So what am I doing? Sitting in the living room next to the picture window... lol
I'm chancy like that.
I realized that that radar pic was pretty dull so I decided to take some screen shots to show more detail of what I'm currently in. I'll start out wide then get closer to my own town. I'm in the "Dallastown" or "Red Lion" area.
The last photo is what popped up while I was taking screen shots of the radar system. I thought we were out of the woods, but evidently there is a severe watch in my area and in the next county over until 1am.
This is a map of the Eastern seaboard of the US to give you a general idea of how huge this storm is. It covers several states going up into Canada.
Here I zoomed closer to my regional area:
Here is my county and the next county over (East of the Susquehanna River):
Here is my area... The lightning strike in the center of the picture is just east of my town.
And here is what I just saw moments ago heading in my direction:
I put that arrow in there.
Well... I've seen quite a light show outside. I'm sure I'll see more in a bit. Hope I can capture some pictures, but my phone is shitty so I doubt it. Maybe I'll get some video though.
