8Nuts MotherGoose saw the ISS come out of storm clouds at an Alt of about 30° to our west. MotherGoose spotted it first. It passed max Alt of 47 degrees at 21:52:34 according to the chart. (but we didn't have a seconds-accurate clock.) It continued on its path until disappearing behind clouds to our north. Although the chart said it was a brightness magnitude of -2.8, it appeared much dimmer due to haze in the air.
We were seeing reflections of lightning, but weren't hearing thunder. Storm is moving toward us.
ripraff observed the ISS in Vestal, NY at 22:59:08 with a brightness of -3.0 and an altitude of 51°. Weather there was cloudy but thin.
The distance along the flight path between Rio Grand City, TX and Vestal, NY is 1924 miles.
