18. Worst storm I ever saw was in eastern Mass.

The lightning was so constant I could read the newspaper, I know because I did it. The thunder noise was also steady, with occasional claps and roars.

Oddly enough, that one didn't produce any hail. Most storms here in NM do, although the storms are smaller and the effects more localized.

That storm in Mass. was associated with a big front.
