- Some severe thunderstorms passed through the state during the evening of 6/22/2024. Strong winds resulted in electrical brownouts. I turned off the mains until the storms passed to prevent damage to equipment.
The driveway culvert and a gutter along the back of the house both partially clogged and flooded. I removed the silt buildup from the bottom of the culvert which should return it's performance to normal. I attempted to clear the clog in the gutter using a high pressure water spray nozzle on the garden hose but was not successful.
After turning the power back on, the file server needed to be restarted and all electronic clocks needed to be reset, including the time on the PBX, various cordless phones, weather stations, and clock/radios.

That was an absolute insane storm, We had some pretty severe weather in Pennsylvania too. Also, every five seconds between the flash of lightning and thunder is 1 mile. This was an excellent video, enjoyed it as always, and I’m glad everyone’s OK.
Glad you enjoyed it.
That was an insane storm. We had some severe thunderstorms here in Massachusetts. All the flashes of lightning were striking the ground. I enjoyed the video and glad nobody was hurt.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, I never realized that the Carrier in the living room had a mechanical clock/timer...that's pretty cool. We had a quick thunderstorm last night that brought a good amount of rain. That's the one thing with summer is we have to be mindful about thunderstorms, at least in this part of the country.
Fiber optic cables don't carry electricity. Actually, they use them to trigger those lightning experiments where they shoot rockets into the sky that trail a thin copper wire. I mean, you wouldn't want lightning to feed into a lightning bunker.
Installing a lightning rod would make for an interesting video. I use my outdoor antenna as a lightning rod. The mast must be grounded, anyway. I just took the 6 gauge ground wire a few inches above the mast and sharpened the tip of the wire to a point.
Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for showing us a great video bro.
OK
Reminds me of last year when I was under tornado warnings multiple times, thankfully never hit by one though
Thanks for letting me know.
The storm started Thursday, 6/20, in my location of MA. We lost power 3 hours that night. We were the only neighborhood out. Friday 6/21, a telephone pole in the same power grid, two streets over from me caught on fire. With that being said, they had to turn the power off for an hour that night.
Later that night in the next town over, my aunt and uncles house, my grandfather's house, and assisted living were out of power. They didn't get it back until midnight of Saturday, 6/22.
Not good. I don't think there was any damage that extensive around here.
Cool video man! To answer your question on whether fiber cable can carry lightning, the answer is no because it has the protective insulation that prevents the lightning from damaging the cable itself.
Thanks
HOLY COW that caller ID.. "SBC"!
I've got a old BELLSOUTH caller ID around here somewhere.
But, I recently ported my LANDLINE # to be my cell phone #.
AT&T Bought out BELLSOUTH when Baby Bell collapsed.
I forgot to say I recently ( last week ) ordered a XLINK BT HD Bluetooth Dongle. And connected my cell phone to it, and then plugged the XLINK into a corded landline phone and its like I still have home phone service!
I have been using the XLINX BT HD adapter for quite some time now. It's great equipment for those who still prefer the landline form factor.
@JordanU Yes! I do notice humming and popping in the background on my side, but ive learned to ignore it. The person im talking to can hear me just fine!
@@CWM030 The range is very limited, the call will probably be clearer if you keep the cellphone within just a few feet of the device.
What a crazy storm Jordan. At least you’re not having the flooding issues that we are experiencing here in the upper Midwest right now. Many communities in our state in Minnesota are flooded with rivers out of their banks and roads flooded over because of the rivers and fields. Glad that you made it though and got everything back up and running.
It hasn't flooded here in a while, there's been hardly any rain of substance this month.
GOD BLESS YOU AFTER THE TWO SNEEZE 🤧 I TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE OF MY BAD EYESIGHT AND YELLING
Why are you shouting?
good rain storm video bro it's my favorite i enjoyed the video hope to see more rain videos soon.
Glad you enjoyed it bro. I'll try to record again next time it rains.
@@JordanU okay cool
Oh my gosh you safe
We had a severe thunderstorm and tornado warning here... With a flood warning my stupid garage pump stopped working at least I didn't had any Ac fans Radios or important stuffs
Always keep backup pumps on hand.
@@JordanUand it was my bday too turning 33 It wasn't that bad the other pump was really small and had difficulties draining the water . I heard noises in the toilet but at least no problem. Some place had like 110 mm of rain. We need to learn how to live with that kind of weather because it going to be something normal.
My state Minnesota has had some serve thunderstorms
Thanks for letting me know.
I like the rain. And maybe you could use a bigger pipe for the culvert?
Why does it need a bigger pipe?
@@JordanU For more water to go through it. Would it make it clog less?
@@connorm955 It is already large enough for all the water to go through.
While thunderstorms are around many states,much of the world is experiancing a heat wave especially Arizona and New York.
There has been a heat wave where I am also.
Typical Summer Chaotic Storms
This was not chaotic, I was calm and prepared.
Your math was very close!
If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close.
Thanks for the information.
@@JordanU You’re welcome
Dark clouds are coming my way (3.26)
OK
Fiber optic cable is not conductive like coax is because fiber optic doesn't have a metal core like coax does
Thanks for letting me know.
Was that a tornado on 9:53 ?
No
