While sunny at my residence, only 1-2km away is getting hammered and the thunder is continuous with absolutely no breaks between claps.

Quite a contrast.

That storm was real intense in Orleans at 3:00 pm. A severe thunderstorm warning had got issued at 2:55 pm and it may have been the worst thundestorm all year when factoring in the thunder and lightning, very heavy rain and very, very strong winds. Decent to large size hail also fell. It was awesome.
