adelphi_sky Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Nothing here so far. Not a drop. Skies are dark, we've had stiff breezes from all the storms across the street, and constant thunder. No rain. At least I get to keep my desert theme going in my front yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Heavy heavy rain The wife and I just got back from Mike's American Grill - we got on Rolling Road just as the rain came in. Nasty, nasty looking cloud to the NNE as we left. I got a picture of it on my phone and will try to load it if I get a chance. Finally broke the duck after all that fringiness.

mattie g Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 On the way home from dinner, it was nearly impossible to see. Here's the picture I took as we hopped in the car. Phone image while it's fairly dark doesn't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Talked to my mom, said Pasadena got it's ass kicked, she has a large oak that was split and a maple with significant damage. Too dark to see anything else since they are without power. She said trees had fallen across route 100 and magothy bridge road, for those who know the area. I'd imagine 5alarmphoto and wxmeddler were also hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well, all the early storms formed just to our east, again. And laughably, the one line did not literally dried up on our door step. Unreal. I wish I knew how to post a radar loop. Once again, 0.00" of rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too dark to see anything else since they are without power. She said trees had fallen across route 100 and magothy bridge road, for those who know the area. I'd imagine 5alarmphoto and wxmeddler were also hit hard. Oh yeah.. I called in the E60mph LSR. I really do believe I made the right guesstimate after seeing the damage around here. I saw at least 2 trees on two different houses, gutters ripped off houses, siding ripped off houses. I got just slightly bigger than pea hail but according to the TDWR it might of been bigger around where your talking about. Take all that over ~2" of rain. Overall, this area really got raked. Tree on House: Gutters ripped from house: Stoplight blown open: Tree in the background was struck... Tree in the foreground was decapitated in some fantastic fashion.
