Well, let's see if we get hit. There are some storms north and west of my area right now, and the radar is filling in.

There was a large Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued for were I used to live... the eastern portion of the watch box itself was several miles west of the town in southeastern Massachusetts I lived in.

The cities of Brockton and Taunton are included in the watch area, basically just literally outside the box. These two cities are about ten miles north and ten miles west, respectively of Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
