  1. wow sure looks a lot faster on these videos, I guess funneling as @Windspeed mentioned.
  2. Anyone know what the sustained winds were when it hit Hong Kong? The videos are nuts.
  3. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=meso-meso1-14-48-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined It looks remarkably symmetrical here.
  4. Where is my best bet if I wanted to drive down to somewhere in st Mary's county and do some snowshoeing or XC skiing? Is st Mary's river park pretty nice? Does it have some trails? I know point lookout is nice but I don't recall it having many trails.
  5. Getting word that Columbia Heights Education Campus may have to be relocated for repairs. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-schools-insider/post/gray-most-but-likely-not-all-schools-to-open-thurs/2011/08/24/gIQASgZZbJ_blog.html
  6. 13th and Monroe Also there was structural damage to Columbia Heights Education Campus. And Best Buy was flooded from broken pipes and is closed indefinitely.
  7. To be fair I just read a lot of schools in Fairfax are damaged also.
  8. I was in Bell during the Earthquake. I did notice one crack on the wall where some drywall or plaster had fallen.
  9. According to Washington Post "D.C. Fire officials were investigating reports of significant cracks in buildings at the Ecuadorian Embassy and Bell Multicultural School, said Pete Piringer, a spokesman."
  10. DCPS hasn't decided to close schools or not, they say they are doing an inspection of all 126 buildings tonight. Why does it seem like inspecting 126 buildings in one night is impossible?
  11. My students (I teach high school) noticed it first. It side to side shaking of the entire school building (I was on the 3rd floor).
  12. From reddit.com "If you stop eating outside, the earthquakes have won."
  13. I saw this quake on the 126 hr panel of the GFS last week.
  14. I was snowshoeing through DC this time last year.
