I think there was around 5,000 tons of explosives used just from Sideling Hill to Martin’s Mt over a 5-year period. i spent a lot of time in that area as a kid, visiting family in Beans Cove, Rainsburg and Clearville.

Drove that stretch a lot, in all kinds of bad weather, before I-68 was there. Rt 40/48 was a thrill ride crossing those hills, especially in thick fog or blowing snow. Glad you and the truck made it safely.

That line split as it passed through here but found some juice and reformed as soon as it crested the Blue Ridge.

Already getting rolling thunder and lightning from that cell in Hancock, 20 miles to my NW.

Nothing severe here despite the warning. Could see the low clouds racing across the sky but winds never translated to the surface. Decent rainfall though with 0.35” from the fast-moving line.

STW through 10:30 a.m. for my yard. Radar indicated 60 mph wind gusts. Waiting….

Three times yesterday, promising-looking storms died just before they arrived here. Happened again this morning. What a waste of thunder.
-
Glad you made it home safely. Seeing photos on social media of streets all around that end of town that are under water.

Trust me I’m already jealous.

@wxmeddleri asked but she didn’t know for sure. And wasn’t willing to go outside to check lol. Said it was so loud in the store she couldn’t hear people talking to her. Edit- and now she just texted to say power just went out. I’m 8 miles away I see sunny skies after 0.40” earlier.

My daughter is at the Dick’s Sporting Goods in Martinsburg, waiting out the storm. Says water is coming through the roof and into the store in multiple places. Says the hail is the largest she’s ever seen. Latest STW is now mentioning ping-pong ball size.
-
RadarScope showing some 2.5” accumulation markers around WV exit 12 on I-81. Almost all of that in the past 30 minutes.
-
Had a decent thundershower in the last half hour here. My son is at work in Martinsburg and called to say large hail is accumulating there.

Saw this online, and hadn’t realized how well they’ve played up to the competition. The Orioles are 18-9 this year against teams currently leading their divisions: Vs Tampa 6-3 Vs Houston 5-1 Vs White Sox 4-2 Vs Dodgers 2-1 Vs Brewers 0-0 Vs Atlanta 1-2
-
Loud thunder, several nearby CG strikes, and very heavy rainfall here with some small hail mixed in. No wind at all though.
-
STW just issued for 80 mph gusts and golf-ball sized hail. Warning box is 1/2 mile to my north.

I was working night shift in a warehouse in Savage, MD in Feb ‘83. The snow began while we were working. Before leaving, I asked the boss “if it snows all day, are we working tonight?” He told me emphatically that we didn’t close for snow. Having grown up in Western Md. where we rarely closed for snow, I took him at his word. That evening, I swept 2’ of snow off my driveway (didn’t own a shovel) and dutifully drove to work. Only to find the place deserted and 4’ drifts against the door.

Getting a heck of a storm here. Torrential rain for more than 20 minutes so far and still going. Booming thunder and frequent wind gusts above 40 mph.

@MN Transplant@nw baltimore wx Thanks for the bus suggestion guys. Will definitely look into it.
-
Just finalized reservations for flights, lodging and an SUV rental for a week in the Northern Rockies the first week of August. Planning to hike Glacier National Park, Yellowstone and Grand Teton with my son. Looks like some of the trails we plan to hit have been closed recently due to heavy rain and snow melt. Others due to heightened bear activity ! Hoping the forecast for that ridge to set up out west the next few weeks verifies. Will rely on bear spray for the rest.

100/75 heat index 114 for the third straight day

Hearing MRB may have had an intra-hour high of 101, which would be 1 degree short of the record for the date from 1931. Should be confirmed within the hour.
-
Water temp in my pool is up to 87° Concrete deck around the pool is 137.5°
