Alberto began to take an eastern track away from the Georgia and
northern Florida coast late Monday morning as the rain and wind
remained offshore. Another disturbance off of the mid-Atlantic coast
pushed bands of heavy rain into northern Virginia to Pennsylvania,
New York, and New Jersey late Sunday night into early Monday. A few
thunderstorms rumbled across the Tennessee Valley. Additional showers
and thunderstorms dampened the Texas panhandle and Oklahoma. A few
showers moved across the northern Plains. Intermittent rain dampened
the Pacific Northwest. The Southwest was tranquil late Sunday night
into Monday.
SPECIAL WEATHER
Tennessee Men Survive Lightning Strike:
On this date back in 1983, a freak lightning bold apparently passed
through a man's neck, down his spine and out of a pocket containing
keys while on a golf course in Memphis, Tenn. The lightning bolt then
struck two other men standing nearby also on the golf course before
hitting a tree. All three men were standing under a tree on the golf
course to take cover from the passing thunderstorm. Fortunately, all
three men survived the lightning strike.
