Default Re: Wild Weather

The weather has been very unusual for New England. In the Boston area, we've had over 30 thunderstorms. Last week, I was running a 36' Chris Craft Corsair from Pocasset to Boston and I had to outrun some nasty t-storms. Without 750+ horsepower...I may gotten zapped.

When I was a teenager, I lived in North-Central New Jersey (Basking Ridge) and violent, summer thunderstorms were a regular occurence. Our house was equipped with lighting rods. When I moved to Boston after college, I was surprised at how few thunderstorms we had...that is until this year!
