Yesterday was an interesting day. 4 different lines developed in the same area around the Hudson Valley and moved southeast. The first one being the most intense here in SWCT. Vivid Lightning, Loud Thunder, and 1/2" of rain in 30 minutes. There was 1500J/KG of instability in the morning for the first line. After that atmopshere stabalized and the next fw lines werent as severe.
