Highlands New Jersey Potential Supercell Thunderstorm, with Flooding and Damage

A potential supercell blew through Highlands, NJ on June 26, 2009. It packed wind gusts in the neighborhood of 60 - 70mph, dumped at least 2 inches of rain, had constant CTG lightning, and caused moderate damage, including widespread moderate flooding, numerous trees down (one down the street crushed 2 cars), shingle damage, and etc. Our 40ft willow was blown down, and flood water was 1.5 ft deep on our street. Overall, a storm of rare intensity for this area. It left the area with a beautiful double rainbow to seal the deal. The flag pole shows potential rotation within the storm as well, let me know what you think!
