We flew from Newark to Marsh Harbour, Bahamas last night. On the way down, we passed this particularly fine electrical storm. See if you can count the flashes in 4 minutes! Or don't, that's okay too. Either way, it was a pretty unruly cel, and we kept well clear of it - at the closest point to it, we were 80 miles (130km) distant. Even from a distance, big thunderstorms look closer than they are because they are so large. I have zero interest in finding out how big they appear from up close.
I really can't sing enough praise to our weather radar and our satellite radar.

I am not thrilled with storms while flying but I wish we'd get a good one and clean the air out. today the inland empire got dumped on big time. KMHV and KPMD got really bad winds and rain. I don't know about KONT but they were on the west edge of the front.
Unfortunately for us near LAX we're S--O--L.
Glad you got out of EWR. Did you get back to pearson?
