Hello to all…

..Happy 4th of July to all Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters. We hope those affected by the significant severe thunderstorms in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts can still enjoy the holiday weekend. We are grateful and appreciate very much all the reports, pictures and videos received to date for this event..
..Significant severe thunderstorms caused large hail covering the ground that had to be shoveled and widespread pockets of tree and power line damage with even some direct structural damage across Connecticut, Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts. At the height of the severe weather, over 50,000 were without power in Massachusetts with roughly 30,000 without power in Massachusetts as of 930 AM Friday. Additional significant power outages occurred in portions of Connecticut and Rhode Island..
..We will continue to take reports, pictures and videos and as time allows post a WX1BOX Facebook Photo Album of this significant severe weather event. Pictures and videos of storm damage, hail, and flooding can be sent as a reply to this email, via our WX1BOX Facebook, X and Bluesky feeds or to the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated.
