ThreeRedheads Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Got it pretty good in the city.. probably the best severe storm of the yr. Here's a cell phone vid (TWC requested to use it, see if they do)--worst wind came with the rain. Lots of small objects blown around.. didnt go looking for damage. Pretty good quality for a cell phone video! It's been dark and thundering here for over an hour. A little bit of rain. Waiting for the big show.` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormitecture Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 For whatever reason the video didn't upload so I did it again and waited to make sure it worked this time. Nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 What a friggin storm. Had everything. Torrential rains, CG lightning, sporadic hail up to quarter sized driven by 50+ mph winds.

In Montclair, just NW of Dumfries. Really great. A- grade. No hail here in Southbridge (near Rt 234 and US Rt 1). Most everything else, though. We've missed a lot of the storms that have pummeled Dale City and Woodbridge. I've called it the "Southbridge Split". Not tonight, though...

09-10 analogy Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Got it pretty good in the city.. probably the best severe storm of the yr. Here's a cell phone vid (TWC requested to use it, see if they do)--worst wind came with the rain. Lots of small objects blown around.. didnt go looking for damage. Figures. I was up at my inlaws in Potomac; garden-variety stuff up there. Not as impressive as what we had last night. I did get to see a pretty lightning show as I was driving up 270, as the storm approached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've missed a lot of the storms that have pummeled Dale City and Woodbridge. I've called it the "Southbridge Split". Not tonight, though... I'm on the far NW side of Montclair. Near Cardinal. Probably about 6 miles or so away from you. I grabbed a hail stone and it was larger than a quarter. Not a great quantity, but good size. Missed the last good one here on 6/9/11 as I was in OH, but wife said there was an accumulation of hail on the ground. Many of the roofs in my area of the neighborhood are being replaced due to the hail damage from that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I was so excited about the storm until I went outside and see my 70 foot oak has split and is blocking my driveway. Tree gone. Me lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a very scenic view of the junkyard at Rt 234 and US1 from our front porch Still no hail that I've seen, but lots of lightning and rain. We were going to go to Pfitzner Stadium for the P-Nats game tonight, but decided against it (poor planning at the last minute). Had hoped the weather would allow us to go up for the fireworks, but the game was called and fireworks cancelled tonight. Doubt we'll be able to get up there tomorrow -- gotta be up REAL early on Tuesday AM. So guess I'll sit around and catch up on stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I got nothing in the afternoon storms, but I did have 2 and a half hours of rain, thunder, and lightning starting around 3 this morning. So at least I don't feel completely left out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 There's a couple of cells popping west of Harrisburg. Wondering if they could work there way down here in a couple hours. I hear lots of booming outside at the moment, but that's just fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
