I’ve found the perfect spot to watch storms come across the bay on the north end of Door County. I won’t say where it is specifically *wink* just that I have the thank the very nice residents of Sister Bay for letting me track storms from their yard. :) :)

The very south edge of the severe cell(s) swept across Washington and Rock Islands. In Sister Bay, the storm outflow quickly whipped up some good-sized waves, and made the temperature plummet 22 degrees in a matter of minutes. It was a steamy 95° until the outflow line hit with a heavenly 73° push.

Here are a few pics from when the storm was raking over Washington and Rock Islands. (I was south of the storm, looking north over the bay of Green Bay; you can’t see the islands in the pic, but the storm is directly over them.) Notice that nasty greenish hue to the clouds… tops were in excess of 60,000 ft. and Intellicast indicated it had a MESO signature.

…and a few lightning bolts I pulled off of short videos I took of the storm.

I heard on the scanner that a man was struck by a falling tree on Rock Island. I hope everyone is okay. I didn’t hear any other reports of damage, large hail, etc. but it looked pretty wicked from where I was watching!
