Strange Weather Pattern

I guess it's you and I against the world on this one Bob. Dogg and 46er could certainly be right, but I watch the radar quite a lot and this seemed very unusual to me. These storm cells were moving due South and seemed pretty detached from anything else.
You can see it for yourself by going to this link, scroll down and view the archived imagery for June 14 as shown in the screenshot below. It comes right at the end of the loop. http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?ID=DIX
It looks like counterclockwise rotation at first, but then it appears to turn and head due South.

Thank you for that link Boyd. I watch the radar often too, and when I saw what was happening, it registered in my mind as something unusual right away, like watching a guy riding a bike down the street backwards. In your link, it is clear that there was a north-south weather track at least 200 miles long. We are all familiar with the counterclockwise rotation, but even on huge 'nor-easter's the radius is obvious.
I always have coffee when I watch radar... you know that. Everybody knows that. 
That was one huge summer storm last nite over Ocean County. Frequent strong lightning and thunder and torrential rain.
Philadelphia Airport had 8 plus inches of rain yesterday, shutting down operations today for American Airlines. I don't think we had even a quarter inch in Toms River area.
Wow. Those storms stayed West of me just about completely. Had maybe 20 minutes of heavy rain in the evening and that was all.
Here in Southampton Twp it was very localized - pouring in buckets in one place and sprinkle a half mile away.
All this rain - wettest June on record, regular evening thunderstorms in July - raising Cain with Ro and my botanical monitoring of a site on Parker Preserve. Site (an old borrow pit) ain't never gonna dry enough to seriously survey at this rate.
