Interesting stuff! I would've asked that camper to pick my Powerball numbers and join me as I bought the ticket, then offer to split the winnings!
More serious note... strong thunderstorms are once again possible across the lake today. We are not in SPC's officially defined "severe threat" area but storms are becoming severe outside of it.
To our west, in Vermont, a storm is on a NW-SE path headed for Lebanon NH and radar has indicated weak rotation within it. Spotters have confirmed golfball hail from it.
Maybe it'll hold together and maybe it won't, but in any case, other storms are forming too. Keep your eyes to the sky this afternoon.
This stuff is becoming common in New England this summer, just as it has in the rest of the country, as the warmth of summer gets pushed around by the Canadian cool which is still out there. If the summer continues to be interrupted by cold fronts and Canadian disturbances, we can expect more severe weather.
Use this thread as a springboard for learning all you can about severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, or start a Q&A thread if you have specific questions.
There are many myths and truths associated with this sort of weather, and the discussion on this thread should give you an idea of what it can do and how odd it can be when it wants to.
