Wow! Stay safe! At the risk of making myself sound reeeeeally ignorant... I didn't know Jersey had such weather! I've never been that far north though.

Take care, Martin! Please keep us posted.

Be safe, tornadoes are often in those kind of storms. Unusual weather for Jersey but typical spring weather here in Texas.

NOAA radar is showing very severe storms from below you right now, Martin, right up thru southern New England. So far, today is the first day without rain here in 9 days. But those storms are forcasted to be here overnight and park their stupid low pressure over us until they finally start to disapate.

OMG Martin! Stay safe!

We got some heavy thunder storms last night, been raining on and off all day. But not even a breeze here.

tomturbomatic · May 22, 2014

Between an overnight shower and a downpour this AM with lightning and thunder, the empty plant saucers have collected an inch of rain.

Wow, That is some huge hail. Good weather here in Illinois today and cool too. Take care; I sure hope your car wasn't out in that? Gary

Martin, I think I saw the hail on the weather channel - it looked like snow! OMG, and the bad storms in other Eastern states - keep us posted. Sorry you guys were hit so hard. We can get nastiness here sometimes...but so far, no hail as you saw. Everything ok - status?

We had severe weather warnings here as well (here = all of Germany). The weather was actually nice for the last couple of days, which is why we had to have thunderstorms now. Just read throuh some storm spotter reports mentioning two inch hail stones, funnel clouds and all. Can't have too much good weather in Germany, oh no.

warmsecondrinse · May 22, 2014

It's been quiet here all day & evening, just a few sprinkles on and off.
Has it let up down your way?

Be safe,

Jim

Hail like that has happened here a few times over the years. The house sounds like a drum and you are in it with all the hail bouncing off of the roof. It does sound scary. And the ground does look like a snowstorm has just passed through.

Look on the ground around your house for any of that grit that used to be on the shingles (if you have a shingle roof). If there is you can file a hail damage claim with your homeowners insurance and get a new roof.

Logixx: Funnel clouds in Germany?! Wow!

I must say, Im very jealous of all of you that are getting rain right now or have gotten some lately. It hasn't rained here in well over a year! I grew up in the south so this desert nonsense is driving me crazy!

frigilux · May 23, 2014

Martin hasn't responded. Wonder if his power is out?

Ultramatic · May 23, 2014

I warned him about doing that naked rain dance.

ovrphil · May 23, 2014

some outtages

I read that there some outtages..maybe he had some flooding. Hope NOT!!

yogitunes · May 23, 2014

OK....I am back...were safe...bruised all the hell.....we were out running around gathering the animals as this came on us quicker than one thought, or even expected....we lost 2 chickens and a duck....2 geese were injured, but doing well now....it was unimaginable, the stones were getting bigger and hitting harder by the second.....I was knocked down and slipped several times.....

counting ourselves lucky, no major injuries....we're alive...and survived the storm.....

my new Jeep is battered to hell, I am in total upset over that alone.....but insurance has already been here, and will take care of all the damages to it....somewhat a relief...

two trucks owned by a neighbor have smashed in windshields and cabs....

we lost internet as the line was down crossed the roadway, the state police ordered them to cut it down......so that knocked us out until now...at least we had power....

yogitunes · May 23, 2014

and a few more from the storm, fog running in, and clearing out just as fast....

vehicles stuck on the ice covered roads.....even the state trooper slipped and fell...and cars sliding off the roadway.....so much damage all over.....the garden and fruit trees are wiped clean and demolished...all this work, shot to hell

at least no water damage into the homes....just counting our blessings...

@Louie, raindance...lol....I sure can stir up a storm, can't I?

Channel6 ActionNews has been here all morning.....and road crews all over....
