acemotelParticipantOMG one HELL of a racket with the hail and thunder, lightning! 11:30 p.m. Thursday night

cjboffoliParticipantSome hail (more like sleet) here in the Junction too. And a couple of brief brown outs.

vmdMemberNo kidding. I heard the thunder and looked out the window and thought I was in the middle of a hurricane. Massive amounts of hail and rain blowing sideways down the street.

LKTParticipantI’m not sure what happened, but somehow my curtains got sucked into the cracks between my closed windows and their frames as the house shook. Scary and weird. Could that have been a little cyclone?!

miwsParticipantDown here in the Morgan Junction, I was already in bed, and I think had been asleep, when I heard the hail hitting the bedroom window pretty hard, making little “tink tink tink” sounds. Pretty much deja vu of the last late night hail storm of a few, or so, days before.
I have an air purifier in the room, so the white noise from that, pretty much drowns out any normal wind noises.

SueParticipantI’m a few blocks from Christopher and we had the hail/sleet also. And at some point between midnight and 6am (when I was sleeping) there was one hell of a weather racket going on because at some point I bolted out of my bed and the rain sounded harder than I’d ever heard before. Don’t know if it was thunder too at that point, but it’s one hell of a way to wake up!

AimParticipantLKT: It’s possible – per Cliff Mass, the wind gusts were going to be pretty severe, and he essentially said “if we were in the tropics this storm would be called a hurricane, but this far north it isn’t.”
Interesting view from my office window in SODO right now – I look west, and the area to the NW around Alki is actually blue sky. Looking SW toward Highland Park, White Center, etc, it’s almost as dark as night-time.
Unfortunately, there’s another storm directly behind this one.

miwsParticipantI’d sure like to see some pics of the hail/sleet from WSB’s photographer equivalent of Jim Foreman; Christopher!

wundrgrrrlParticipantLKT – we thought the same thing for a few brief moments last night about 11:30 – 12:00 “tornado”?! Down here on Beach Dr a few blocks south of the lighthouse… The wind was going in every direction and the hail was thick enough to block the light from a lamp post across the street. I love wild weather!

WSBKeymasterChristopher covered the fire and officer procession this morning – already tons for one day! I tried to get the hail on video last night and there just wasn’t enough light, even shooting against the street light. So I settled for using the audio, as linked in the late-night item. Am about to leave the downtown courthouse and head home though so will pick up any visuals we see along the way – went through the Mega-Puddle on the offramp to The Viaduct on the way downtown but didn’t have the iPhone in hand.
