mdhokie Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 When is this stupid low going to fizzle out or move on? I was looking forward to a cool, sunny weekend, and now it looks like clouds and possibly rain hanging on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I was driving home to rville from bmore while the storm was developing. Great extended light show before driving into the heavy rain. Had a bolt blast a tree 100 yrd in front of the truck on norbeck rd. It burned an image into my retinas for about 15 seconds. Awesome!

BethesdaWX Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Please ignore the foul language/heavy reaction Some of this s**t was literally less that 5 houses down (Strike 2 was probably the closest) I was actually inside the house so the true sound/loudness of the thunder is not captured as well as I'd like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sLo4osUv38&feature=player_detailpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Poured like hell for about 10 minutes. Pretty consistent thunder and lightning, but the core of that activity wasn't directly overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Gonna miss this warm, humid, somewhat tropical feel and showers/tstorms we have had the last few days. Been interesting weather if you ask me, not something we have in late Sept a lot. The cool down and sunnier weather coming will be nice but boring too. Getting some lightning and thunder now just started a few minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah should have done a compilation, lightning died off after 3 minutes or so. The bolt at 0:53 hit about 3 lots to the SE, not seeing it in front of my face probably saved the video.

I'm gonna try and be as nice as I can when I say this, as you know we have battled before, but do you think you can cut back and limit the cursing in your posts? I think it would go a long way to helping and making your obs more enjoyable for others to read. In OT I could care less but wx side should be a place for solid verbal skills. No trying to troll, just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afternoon windswept light showers with cold pool over warmer surface kind of deal. Typical Fall stuff. Looking forward to the refreshing west winds.

Mrs.J Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Had a downpour up here with a storm that prompted a strong t-storm warning. Dumped so much rain there were several small streams running through the back yard. Sunny and cooler out now. Hope that means the humidity is done.

EastCoast NPZ Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 No rain today, but it is friggin' nice outside. DP down to 50 from 58 earlier and temps falling from earlier high of 72 down to 69. WNW winds with a fairly solid high-cloud deck. Feels like fall.
