Wow, over 900 views? WTF? Are people that fucking stupid? They've never seen it rain before?

[3clGTX]

Well how dose it feel to be among the over 900 viewers? lol

BTW It was way more impressive in person and I missed the part where big parts of the trees where flying off.

[projectM1KE]

Wow! it was worse down there than in Portland.

[3clGTX]

lol yeah. But I missed some of the worst of it because I accidentally turned the camera off. One of the tall trees in the video lost a few big branches and they went flying.

Wish i could have got that. :(

Oh well.. thanks for commenting.

In on the NE side of town between sunnyview and silverton. I was out driving in it!!! I was pushing water down the road with my bumper at most major intersections, and I could barely see the tail lights in front of me. I kept looking for funnel clouds luckily never saw anything come close to touching the ground. Our whole yard/garage flooded, tree limbs down in our front yard, and no power when we came home. LOVELY. Best storm I've ever been in.

[3clGTX]

lol i like how you ended that! :p

Many of the flashes streaked very long across the sky with loud thunder. Then very VERY heavy rain like a garden hose in which our house we ALMOST never hear the rain snince it's over insulated.

Oh.  It's tomorrow already! I gotta go to bed! Hope we don't get another surprise storm this morning waking up me.

I am too tired to type.

Here in Silverton Oregon this morning around 3:30 I woke up to lots of bright lightning that made the sky look like day for about 40 mins of almost non stop lightning. I actually saw the flashes in every direction except west though there were non that touched the ground I could see. Usually the lightning if any is too far away to see anything other then a flash.

It's been humid as heck lately as if we were on the east coast with dew points around 60 here before and after the storms.

I remember this storm in Vancouver WA although I heard the storm was stronger in salem, it still packed a punch when it hit my area, with 55-60mph wind. it was cool

[1987dayz]

we arrived that day from houston. It was a surprise for my mom and sister. she wanted to kill us because we didn't tell

I was at a graduation at the armory. It flooded. Hooray.

I was out for a run in Corvallis when this happened. It was stupid of me to do but I saw the clouds as they were a greenish color and decided to go running anyways...as I approached an intersection a lady drove up to me and told me that I needed to get inside because there was a severe t-storm warning. I continued on and ran through the core of this thing. I was freaking out with bolts hitting everywhere. i had to hide under a bridge with a biker and then it passed and I wen home. it cont'd latr

I was there in west Salem. So many lightning bolts touched down outside the house. Then it all went silent... No rain, wind or lighting for like a minute. This was some scary stuff to be in. This video gives the storm no justice, you would have to be there to really appreciate how dangerous it could have been for Salem, Oregon. Great video though

[Stellavus]

ahh.. good'ol Oregon sunshine. gotta love it here =)
