It's not that unusual to have severe storms in NJ, but the intensity and
repetitiveness of the storms today was quite unusual. I am currently
sitting though my third hail storm. The cloud to ground lightning has been
the most impressive I have seen in years. And I have 4.27" of rain in my
gauge since 5:30 PM when the first drop hit. I was able to spot a funnel
cloud at 6:15 PM to the southwest of Trenton, NJ. It was visible for about
3 minutes before it retreated. It never touched down in NJ as far as I can
tell, but reports have it that the same cell may have had one touch down in
the Lancaster, PA, area. The hail was mostly pea-sized, but I spotted a
few pieces that we 1/2" in diameter.

And it looks like things may get even more "exciting" over the next few
days as a trough gets closer, as do Bonnie and Charlie.

Now, I finally got my 2 1/2 year old son to calm down after a bolt of
lightning hit my neighbors house (man, was that LOUD), and I am off to see
if I can find where the dog is hiding.

Take care everyone.
