A 40,000-Foot Storm From 70 Miles Away
Jul 26, 2011; 6:25 PM ET
In an otherwise clear blue sky Saturday night, I spotted a storm way in the distance.
Since identification from radar and satellite would be easy, I took a look and found the storm (according to Google Earth) about 70 miles to my southeast, near York, PA.
It’s amazing that the storm could be seen that far away, but the echo tops product indicated rain heights (cloud heights would be higher) to over 40,000 feet!
Here’s a closeup:
Just another reason I say “The Weather Is Always Interesting!”
