  1. 1st time with 4 consecutive BN months at BWI since 1970 apparently? According to Tony Pann.
  2. That's a gimmee today. Same for IAD.
  3. Wow…62F is the record. Lowest record high max of the entire month and only set 2 years ago! That's a gimmee. IAD's record is 61F, also set in 2011. Both of those are probably locks. DCA is 68F. That's going to be close.
  4. Here's a nice reference for the upper air pattern when a KU is about to happen:
  5. ^that was the greatest quake meme ever
  6. Biggest facepalm moment so far...a met on WTOP radio saying that a 2.8 magnitude aftershock was "half as strong" as the 5.8 primary quake. The Richter scale is LOGARITHMIC. A 2.8 is 1000 times weaker than a 5.8.
  7. It's the 3rd update to the depth I've seen...but they've all said "poorly constrained". First depth was ~4km (can't remember exactly), then 1km, and now 0.1km.
  8. Thanks for the link, Josh! Wish I had that before I sent my report in to USGS. I said "Moderate" in my report, but based on that, it was "Rather Strong" or possibly even "Strong". My exact thought was that it felt like a freight train was speeding by my office.
  9. Bethesda...how many downed trees, broken water mains, collapsed buildings and fatalties in your area?
  10. Not sure where people are getting 6.0 magnitudes from. Still says 5.9 on USGS.
  11. Was two distinct periods here. First one was relatively minor, then a pause for a few seconds, then stronger shaking (made my computer screen shake). Are those the p and s waves? Or vice versa?
  12. Holy sh!t!!!!!! 5.8 magnitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html
  13. Observing is actually all but done in AF wx now. All (non-tactical) obs are automated with augmentation only in severe situations (tornado, etc.). I liked observing...
