June will end up cooler than normal here (by about 1C). And now CFSv2 show July
That map looks strangely familiar - I think it's what I've seen for most of the past 3 years.

This is not tropical and a very Fall looking pattern. We don't usually get storms that blow up like this let alone a trough in summer. We have, but not often.
Hmm...this could portend a juicy autumn if the typical summer pattern of (lack of) storms is never really established.

To me interest is independent of damage (better to lose something to an interesting disaster than a dull one ), but of course I (and I hope all of us) like it when there's no loss of life or property. So I guess an epic flood in a very lightly populated area would do nicely?

Although my tastes vary a bit, there's not really anything better. I like myself a summer rainstorm, but only infrequently; I also really like thunder and storm clouds, but I prefer to dispense with the rain part if possible. I also would like it to be cloudy about half the time. That might seem incompatible, but Whitehorse has sunshine only half the time in the summer, which is pretty impressive for an interior locale that gets only 4 inches of rain in an average summer. Whitehorse's thunder days are far from ideal, but its 9 days per annum figure isn't bad at all. It's more than Vancouver or most anywhere in Newfoundland, and more than the 2 days per annum Yellowknife gets (which is slightly warmer and wetter in summer), though much less than Thompson's 20 days (which is warmer and has twice the rainfall in summer).

"Amazing low level jet plowing into the Appalachians Saturday. Notice the 70 dew points that will be drawn north. A 50kt upslope jet with 70 dew points will mean extreme rains!"
My power outage is over...lasted approximately 53 hours.
This storm was way worse than Hurricane Sandy, and certainly was a bigger bane than Sandy, as Sandy never even took out our power. More tree damage, too. More property damage in some spots.
This just strengthens my hatred of thunderstorms. Obviously never liked them to begin with.
