The first of several thunderstorms to go through this afternoon hit us in West Alton starting at about 4 PM. We recorded a wind gust of 52 mph on the leading edge of the front as it came through, and we then experienced sustained winds in the 25 - 40 mph range for about 20 minutes. There was more lightning and thunder than we've witnessed here in quite some time. After the first and biggest storm came through, two more followed over the next couple hours. All told, the storms dropped 1.1" of rain on us. Now at 8:30 PM we're still seeing some lightning in the distance to the east, but it appears to be a number of miles away.

Snake Eyes stayed up during today's storms, IG! Apparently there was no power loss on Rattlesnake this time.
