Post Severe Weather Coordination Message #2 – Thursday 7/3/25 Severe Thunderstorm Event
Hello to all…
..Happy 4th of July Weekend 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, we have learned that Rhode Island had over 65,000 without power and with the over 50,000 that were without power in Massachusetts, the maximum power outages at the height of severe weather across Massachusetts and Rhode Island was over 115,000 customers. Additional significant power outages occurred in portions of Connecticut..
..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. We are looking to post the photo album on Sunday AM. 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. Below is an updated WX1BOX Amateur Radio Log and NWS Boston/Norton Local Storm Report for this event and our log will also be updated in the next post severe weather message for Sunday Morning..
..We very much appreciate all the support of everyone who has provided reports, pictures and videos from this severe weather event particularly taking time out of your Holiday Weekend to do so. Many thanks to all…
