Did you see the sunbeam rainbow? And the red sprites and night lightning on the ocean horizon? Long Beach #GloucesterMA #RockportMA

Posted on by Catherine

Gloucester and Rockport views all in one summer day, 8/13/2023: 5 P.M., 5:01 P.M., 5:15, 5:16 (w/Salt Island), 5:16 (turned), 5:58, 6:00 P.M., 6:12, 6;13, 6:25 (sunbeam rainbow shines on Twin Lights), 6:26, 6:27, 6:28, 8:22, 9:30 P.M. Note the ‘big sky’ scale of clouds compared with a car, homes, roofs, Salt Island, etc

photo block 5pm-930pm observed sky: The many weather moods in 4 hours on August 13, 2023. Capped off with red (sprites) and white lightning visible from Long Beach 9-10:00 P.M. The lightning looked a bit like far off fireworks. Red and orange bursts and dashes registered some on cell phone (4 sec video clips below). Bet there were some beautiful night and day photos!

Rainbow and crepuscular rays- Rainbow streaks shine on Thacher Island.

video snippets below

7 seconds (tough to see: look for red in the middle of the frame at about 4 sec mark. May need to enlarge to full size to bypass the ‘play’ button)

10 seconds- look for dashes in the middle of the frame. White flicker on left was a drone

4 seconds- If this frame were split in 3 vertical strips, about 2 seconds in concentrate on the the left 1/3 to see a pinkish red pulse. Earlier in the evening there were sweeping arcs of diffused lightning

When Lightning Strikes

Posted on by Nichole S.

We drove down a long and narrow dirt road to get to Lake Tashmoo Beach near Vineyard Haven on Monday night so that Finn and my nephew could fish while my mom, sister, and I enjoyed some drinks and a picnic on the beach for the sunset.   The sky was overcast…but it still did not disappoint.   Both boys are in their element while casting no matter what the conditions.   As they walked out onto the jetty, the skies changed and the lighting started to strike.  They were in no rush to leave… but we made them anyway.

CRACK! BOOM! BANG! The April 1st Thunder and Lightning Storm.

Posted on by Craig Kimberley

Just for those who missed the storm on April fools, it was no joke!
If you love lightning and thunder, this one’s for you.
Enjoy the flashes and rumbles, and then the calm of rain and hail.

Hi Joey!

Great storm last nite!

I don’t know if this hit the house across the street – maybe there’s a large crater in Gorton’s parking lot? It made close contact because our whole house shook… duck and cover!  (freehand, scared-witless!) Thanks, Christy

READY,

June 9, 2011 Gloucester Harbor Lightning Strikes From The Dock

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I took this and slowed the video to one quarter actual time so you could see the strikes. About a third of the way through you can see a seagull gliding across the screen. I’ll have to do more of these. Feel free to forward to friends or family who may be out of town.
