That’s fine though, wouldn’t wanna blow a -NAO in November. Let’s save it for January and February cause we know that’ll happen....right?

It’s moving so fast you wouldn’t think it would weaken THAT much by the time it gets here.

Looking at the remaining core of Zeta and extrapolating where it’s gonna be, looks like it’ll pass right over us. It still has 60 mph winds its got incredible forward speed, I wonder if we don’t have some gusty winds this afternoon.

New Orleans has a chance of the eye passing right over it it seems. When’s the last time a major American city got directly into an eye?

Neighbor measured 4.2 inches here, seems about right given how much water was in my basement. Might have to bite the bullet and actually get it waterproofed. Anyone have a good waterproofing company that does Montgomery county?

This is Jackson ave in Takoma park.

This is an obscene deluge in Takoma Park.

Looks like maybe a new little couplet by Chevy chase.

Decent gusts here in Takoma park. Probably 25-30 mph right now.

Looks like quite a hook on the Baltimore storm.

Down here in Takoma park it’s full sunshine for a while now. Little breeze kicking up which is nice. Feels like a severe day at least.

Dan leathers (state climatologist) was my favorite professor in undergrad. Great guy.

Taste and smell are SLOWLY returning. They were both at 0.0 for like a week and now I can taste and smell some things again. Overall I’m fine though, running 5+ miles a day and doing everything I usually do.

Too much rain, mushrooms everywhere in my yard, it needs some time to dry out.

Leesburg getting a serious deluge

88/78, just went for a 10k run which needless to say was a big mistake. Completely drenched would be a significant understatement.

We’re all fine, glad to hear you don’t have it also. I’m the only one who has any symptoms and my only symptom is still just loss of taste/smell. I’ve been feeling fine, can’t go running til my 10 days are up but i have a home gym so I’ve been lifting and doing row intervals in my basement. I’m having a beer on my front porch that I can’t taste at all watching this storm come in.

Cool clouds too, do these have a name?

Pretty nice wind out ahead of this storm, getting some nice 20-30 mph gusts.

At least we’re not Phoenix!

For anyone interested there a lot of places offering rapid tests now. I got mine at Medstar urgent care in Wheaton and had the results in 15 minutes. I also saw there is a saliva test now which is fast too.

Hey, I’m still ok. The main thing now is my senses of taste/smell are completely GONE. Not just like a little dulled, straight up nonexistent. Other than that the only thing I notice is a slight sense of lightheadedness/brain fog type thing, but it’s pretty subtle. This whole situation is kinda a mess though. The only reason someone in my household had to break social distancing was to fly on an airplane to get a potentially life saving medical treatment, and that’s where the covid exposure happened and now the whole household has it. Luckily no one has had any symptoms that are that bad though.

Yeah pretty much, I was *maybe* a little more tired than usual yesterday but I still ran 5 miles in the 85 degree soup air and didn’t feel terrible. None of it was/is very severe at all. I usually get at least 1-2 colds every year that are way worse than this. **knocks on wood**

*knocks on wood*, it seems to be. I wouldn’t even consider my symptoms to really even cross the threshold of a mild cold. Only reason I got tested like I said was proximity to someone vulnerable.
