Nasty Cell Coming Across The Santa Fe River,

As I was typing this lightning just hit basically right across the river. Shook the house.

[Category 5]

Blinding rain, lightning everywhere. ONe just hit close enough to shake everything.

[Category 5]

THis might be almost as hard as I've ever seen it rain.

All I got was a few thunderboomers and a long, long rain. In guessing between .3"-.5"
