Here in west Plant City, Fl. this Sunday evening 4/16, I picked up
1.35" of rainfall in approximately 30 minutes. The cell was isolated,
small and a slow mover from NW to SE and was accompanied by very
frequent and close lightning (500 mb temp.-15 deg celsius. Three strikes
were point blank near the house and all we could here were sharp cracks
and saw electricity shooting out of wall sockets. What's bizarre is the
fact that none of the items plugged in were damaged.
After no significant precipitation in 5 1/2 months we have picked up
2.95" in the past three days, exceeding April's normal total of 1.52",
our driest month.
