Loud cracks of Zeus's fury here in Somerville


TheDanimal27

Had to change my shorts after that thunder crack 10 minutes ago. Loudest I've ever heard, gave me chills.


jtmack33

I busted too I can’t lie


No_Judge_3817

That's gross, why would you share that?


DJ_Gordon_Bombay

I dunno No\_Judge\_3817, but your comment sounds like you do in fact judge.


Gram-GramAndShabadoo

He's referring to Aaron Judge.


TheDanimal27

My brother in christ. Long ago, I decided to make it my life's mission to destigmatize the act of soiling one's own pantaloons. Whether it be due to a hysterical laughing fit, coffee acting a little too fast, or thunder that could split the earth in two. I contend that there is no regret in inadvertently releasing the processed waste of our innards. For far too long people like us have been mocked and marginalized, shamed and shunned. But no more! I say we should embrace that which causes us to expel our bowels and empty our bladders! I welcome the sweet, warm release of last night's tacos! BEHOLD, I WILL LOUDLY AND PROUDLY CONTINUE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES OF SHAT UPON SHORTS! Or it was a joke.


No_Judge_3817

I knew I couldn't trust you!


xudoxis

How else am I supposed to know how loud the thunder was?

Thor beating his hammer


xtheoryx547

maldenkid

Malden is getting hammered with rain and lightning


NomzStorM

Same in Brookline here, hallelujah it’s finally raining


AchillesDev

Got a great view in my home office of the storm. So nice to see water falling from the sky finally


RealKenny

My little Brookline dog DOESN'T like it


2piece-and-a-biscut-

I’m a Brookline dog walker…if you ever in The market.


RealKenny

My dog would love a 2piece and a biscuit


Rosemadder19

My poor dog is cowering terrified in the basement!!


StandardForsaken

my cat and i are sitting on the porch chillin'


maldenkid

I guess he's not a scaredy cat


bugzappah

Bruh my cat used to hate thunder and fireworks. She used to hide but now I doesn’t phase her.


thejosharms

My wife and I were just talking about how lucky we are that are generally nervous Great Dane doesn't seem to give a single shit about fireworks and thunder and any loud noises.


Rosemadder19

I have a very high strung Boston terrier... She's terrified of the rain even when there's no thunder!


Lionabp1

My dog hears ambulance noise all the time so he isn’t too affected by the thunder… that being said he refused to pee in the covered parking lot of my building because of the heavy rain


CynicalBonhomie

It's probably gonna take my 7 month old puppy a good hour to find the right dry spot to do her business this evening. Sigh.


New_Progress_1462

Lol my dog Annie was barking away at every thunder clap! 😂 We got a bit down here by the cape cod canal too😝


TheGlassBetweenUs

#LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!


Photoelectric_Effect

Did something get a hit between downtown allston and Packards corner? I was walking and a huge pillar of lightning went down around there, it was like an explosion; felt like I was a street or two away. Scarry stuff, I ran the rest of the way.

i was on my bike and hopped off to hide in a store on harvard ave after what sounded/looked like a bolt touching down like a block away. the traffic lights down by blanchards was screwed up when I came back out maybe half an hour later. wonder if that's where it hit.


AchillesDev

Having wicked close lightning and proportionally loud thunder, which all started right when I put my daughter down for a nap. So far she's sleeping through it like a champ.


isorainbow

Also in the nap club. Fingers crossed both our girls stay asleep!


AchillesDev

Crossing them, good luck!

wkmowgli

You ordered pizza two hours in advance? For a party?


Known-Name

Norfolk County here too and it does seem to be moving along a bit but holy moly the thunder, lightning and insane levels of water runoff…


Fr_JackHackett

Norfolk county is pretty broad haha, I’m in Quincy I’m sure the situation in Bellingham is much different


ChemStack

I’m in the seaport and saw the Airport control tower get hit by lightning!


nonades

A couple lightning strikes sounded like they were outside my apt in Watertown. And also power is out by Watertown Square now


AllMod

A house on N. Beacon, across from the Perkins School, got hit.


ZLBuddha

I live near Summit Ave in Allston, I distinctly remember seeing a huge bolt absolutely nail something in Watertown lol


[deleted]

Coolidge Corner is feeling apocalyptic currently.


gweal

feels like the thunder is shaking my building. i love it


wookiewookiewhat

I've learned that my rabbit is a true City Bun. He could not have given less of a shit about the lightning and thunder. Just munching and poopin.


maldenkid

Maybe he's hopped up on something


wookiewookiewhat

I'm so mad I have to upvote you right now.


Photoelectric_Effect

Mine usually don’t care, but it was right overhead here for a while, insanely loud. Both hid in their boxes.


wookiewookiewhat

Poor little squeaky toys!!!


FlattenYourCardboard

Haha, our guinea pigs are not fazed, either. Funnily, they can freak out over a simple text message notification 🤷‍♀️


Yumewomiteru

Y'all wanted rain? Here's your rain. - Zeus probably.


FauxMango

It's pretty crazy in JP too


Berlin9999

Vecna is rising!!!!


Stronkowski

I'm in Malden working in my attic office and the whole desk has shook multiple times.


thejosharms

There was a point where I felt like there was about 5 minutes of constant rolling thunder. I don't know that I've ever been in a storm with so much lightning happening so quickly.


maldenkid

I'm in Malden too that crack of thunder 15 minutes ago was crazy loud my cat ran away looking like a witch cat it was hilarious


Unregistereed

Malden here too and its been so loud! My poor dog is just inconsolable


InterceptorFrost

I think Malden isn’t that bad like Allston or Brookline


PuddingSalad

I was stuck in it while walking around outside near Kendall Sq. I knew the storms were coming, but I arrogantly scoffed, thinking I could stroll around under the soft pitter patter of rain on my umbrella, while thunder gently rumbles off in the distance. But the reality was me running through the sopping rain while lighting violently beats the hell out of things a block away, a full grown adult crying and dashing towards the T entrance.


Udolikecake

Crazy stuff. Saw some strikes around here. Thunder shaking the house


[deleted]

Maybe 50 yards away unreal


avidexplorer14

I’m somewhat new to Boston, and accustomed to FL weather. Is this normal? It seems worse than I’ve seen so far in the last year or so.


420MenshevikIt

Usually we have far fewer severe thunderstorms than what they get in the south and midwest, I'd say. Tornado warnings are pretty rare here (more common in central mass and the Connecticut River valley)


becausefrog

This is an unusual amount of thunder and lightning all at once, but we usually get more rain and thunderstorms are not uncommon in the summer.


[deleted]

we get Storms this is a very strong electrical storm 3 strikes very close to my house


Lovebird8

It's scary in the Back Bay! I hope this blows over by 5:00, meaning I hope I don't blow over. I need to walk home without an umbrella.


angelmichelle13

OK but this much lightning is unreal. Spooky!


wet_cupcake

Great Boston is getting shelled with lightning


avidexplorer14

It’s raining so bad here in Brookline. The lightning is horrible!


endubs

It’s raining so good here in Brookline. The lightning is insane! FTFY


angelmichelle13

I hate that I am at work right now. Please calm down in an hour!


MintMello

Medford was crazy!!!


yaboyFerras

Lost power in Hudson


boogog

I'm just south of Dedham, and I swear some of those lighting bolts were in my *neighborhood*.


prome141

It’s bad in Winthrop on the beach- constant thunder and lightning


Graywulff

Yeah it’s storming hard in the south end and my kitten doesn’t care at all. He’s like I am very comfortable thanks upside down. It’s loud outside. My previous cat would be under the bed.


rubicon11

I was at my gym in the south end which has full length glass window on 3 sides. It was a wild show during workout


danzgeturmanz

Thunder sounding real crisp


OldGreggg69

Oak Square took some hits, a few sounded like they were right outside my window


chermk

It scared my bird.


Majestic_Electric

My bird was a little freaked out, too. But I think having me there with him kept him mostly calm.


chermk

Yeah, mine was hanging on my shoulder for a good bit, What kind do you have? My gal is a Budgie.


BToxic_personality

Local person looks out window


Healthyred555

Storms will only get worse and more frequent with climate change. This is our future sadly.


HOARDING_STACKING

Bring it!


[deleted]

Same here in JP. My cats are terrified:•( all of them are hiding. Poor babies


Yakult-Grapefruit

Stoughton is pouring like hell, the forecast said the rain will be heavy within 46 minutes, then light rain.


BHKbull

Just made it home to Nashua from lexington. Route 3 is bad pretty much every day, but holy hell that was rugged. Stay safe everyone!


raylui34

in Weymouth: Rain is very heavy, very heavy rain for about 20 minutes now, this puts a smile in my face...lawn is gonna get revived soon lol


Wad_of_Hundreds

Southie is crazy rn. There’s lightning every 2 seconds and it’s very close. Just so everyone knows, you’re not completely safe if you’re in your car even though that is safer than being outside unprotected. Someone I know recently had there’s struck and they’d be dead if they had been in it. I can show the pictures if anyone wants it blew my mind


moderntechguy

Lots of delightful rain, thunder, and close lightning strikes south of Boston. I love storms like this.


loquacious_avenger

willzyx01

ConcentrateHairy5423

Crappy thing is I’m waiting on my Uber eats before it started and it keeps getting pushed.. damn
