Getting loud bangs here and some occasional big drops.

Intersting to see what happens along the coastal plane. The OFB will pick up some speed in the smoother terrain. It could outrun the upper disturbance and kill the line. Doubt this happens early enough for DC and west.

The sounding from IAD tell you all you need to know about this incoming derecho. Sort of surprised the latest warning from LWX isn't more robustly worded.

Their latest SPS is pretty ominous. Was surprised the warnings didn't include more info on the damage potential and previous reports.

Extensive damage in Alleghany County. A lot of trees down on homes and vehicles.

I don't doubt it, the storm was extremely powerful going through Morgantown. My fiance's car was sitting at a light when the tree next to her got hit with lightning. Storm also knocked trees and knocked out a substation. I'll post some pictures that I grabbed before I decided my safety was more important than a good photo.
