SnowenOutThere

Rapid intensification continues

Saw this on Twitter and don’t know how to put tweets in on phone so here is the photo looks a bit scary.

Did you get any pictures?

Very similar experience, my dad thought it was a good time to go on a run five minutes before it happened because according to him they always blow over us, he got drenched. Also even if there is no tornado there is some nasty straight line velocities. Looked like an apocalypse pretty crazy.

Near Reston and got .19 inches of rain I feel ripped off, the main line was weakest over me and the cell that merged with it in fairfax formed too Far East. Everywhere near me got more rain and we were surrounded by storms. Ughh and we need the rain since we are going into July.

Surrounded by storms. Ironic that the weakest part of the line will hit me and the new storm developed a bit to far east. I don't know how to feel about this.

Just south of the training setup near Ashburn :( hope I get something. Heard thunder but no rain except for 5 seconds of rain right now where there are no storm clouds nearby.

Shear is the main one due to the trade winds, then you have all of the mountain islands making the area bordered by land that shreds storms so storms have to thread the needle between land. That is the extent of my knowledge on why its a graveyard, if you are smarter than me please correct me.

Thanks to my experience in snow forecasting I know that this is the only model that will be correct and I should cling to it no matter what the other ones say, ITS NEVER GONE WRONG BEFORE*. *Citation Needed

I was asleep

Happy B-day @mappy

Dying, we were all dying both physically for the swimmers and mentally for the parents and volunteers.

The same thing happened to me but to the west of you, just a 5 minute drive off from the heavy rain.

I was trying to make a joke should of included a /s.

What's next using something like golf balls, what has this world come to.

I also had no idea how many other people on this board swam or have their kids swim.

I did not know you people swam/swim in the NVSL my team is in the Red (top) Division of the CSL league and its pretty competitive. Its still fun however and its great to be in a more community driven mode than the super competitive all year round swimming stuff. I am looking forward to at least try to make it on the Highschool team this year, the cutoff is typically around 55 seconds for 100 free and I swim that in 53 so I should be fine (I hope I am it sounds like a really fun team). Swimming is the only other real thing I do besides playing video games and checking the weather. I have a really strong age group for summer swim so you always have other people who swim all year round to push each other we also got the our teams relay record this year on the first meet with relays so it should be a really great season.

As someone who swims all year with an all year round (yay getting up at like 4am over the summer) and summer team I can 100 percent attest to that but the worst meets are those A meets in the morning when it is pouring rain and super cold out. Those meets are miserable, everyone adds time so there was not really a point and the whole morning is ruined. On B meets my team is trying to do virtual B meets this year so each team swims separately which would be amazing, but since I placed top 3 in the A meet on Saturday with the strokes I care about (freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke) I can't even swim at the B meets so I get to stay at home anyways.

I mean they are due for another century storm soon.

I got 0.04 on the edge of a shower, I guess that counts as a boom?

You would be borderline but since you're on a website that takes 20 off your life you're in the void.

I was going to say 21 but 30 works

Derecho?

Just missed the precip shaft but looked nasty

Here is the link to the rotation on the Reston storm that I think I see https://youtu.be/PWQ0EXWuez4 Went right over me.
