Last night was just an hour of what you get in the midwest during tornado season. That was nothing.

It was pouring crazy as hell down in Salem last night. Straight woke me up. Didn't hear lightning though.

When I pulled into my driveway yesterday lighting hit a power pole half a block away and it lit up the WHOLE neighborhood. It made that typical lightning ZZZAAAP sound and it was so intense that I could feel the vibration in my body and throughout the car!

+1. These "storms" would make people from the midwest yawn. Not even close to strong or severe category.

I remember driving once in the Blue Ridge Mountains where the rain was so heavy you couldn't see the end of the hood. I had to open the door so I could see the lines on the road to figure where I was and it was daytime.

I've done similiar things here, but only in fog.

It made me miss real weather, not these faux storms that everyone freaks out about.

I wouldn't call this faux storms. I've had whitecaps crashing over the retaining wall over the past few days.
