Storm Clouds Over Martha's Vineyard

We watched an active lightning storm gather over New Bedford, Massachusetts late this afternoon as it quickly made its way across Buzzard's Bay and Vineyard Sound. By the time I got home, I received a Severe Thunderstorm Warning from the National Weather Service, forecasting 60 mph winds, rain, quarter-size hail, and wind damage to trees and power lines. When it reached the north shore of West Tisbury, there was no wind and it left little more than trace rain. That's the way it's been all summer.
