West Seattle Weather Watch: Thunder, lightning, hail

| West Seattle news | West Seattle video | West Seattle weather

We mentioned it during our running coverage of the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting (now over) – lightning flashed, thunder roared, hail pounded on the Southwest Precinct roof. Now we have a High Point view in the photo above, shared by Marco, via Twitter. Forecast, believe it or not, says “partly sunny” for tomorrow. ADDED 10:38 PM: At the peak of the downpour, we put our video camera on the floor next to our chair in the SW Precinct meeting room and pointed it at the window. The resulting video isn’t too bad. Note the low-level ambient audio is irrelevant; the rain and hail couldn’t be heard through the window:

This storm was amazing…watched it lash out at Bremerton and then over the sound towards Elliott Bay. Looked smaller than it was and suddenly it was over the house with ice pellets and thunder and lightening.

I was reminded of my childhood in West Texas..if this would have been mid July and the sky as dark as it was today my sweet grandmother would be telling us kids to get in the cellar! Scary but great memories!

Sorry, comment time is over.
