The Lagoon starts to "stir" & White caps develop
Wind Kicking up - more white caps forming and squall line moving in
Full blown Squall and power outage (thankfully brief) - can barely see the pool next door much less the homes across the way
Now tell me that there's no reason the frequently check the weather forecast, and keep ever alert to the changing skies - I wouldn't have wanted to be on my boat or a jetski in this mess.....
Starting to wane but still nasty
It was starting to break 30 minutes after the onset, this was taken 10 minutes later - although not on camera we had a rainbow & lightning to the east at the same time the sun was breaking through. Hope you stayed safely indoors and heed the weather forecasts. And I hope you enjoyed........

The damaging winds, heavy rain and violent lightning Saturday night left thousands in Toms River without power.

One reader submitted several videos of the storm rolling in, from the quickly darkening skies, to the pelting rain.

Check out the series of videos from Saturday night.
