gymengineer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It just moved out of Rockville/N. Bethesda. Really violent. Brace yourselves, Silver Spring/Takoma/PG County. Yeah, 'violent' is a good way to describe it. It came in as a wall, lasted for 5 or so minutes, and was out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Got absolutely diddly here except for a breeze and a couple raindrops. But here's a picture looking ENE from my front lawn. I guess it's the southern end of the Seahorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have tried to get in contact with my husband but no response. Even tried his cell. A bit worried. He is in Rockville. Ok just hear from him, power is out. I have alerted him to the tornado but it is east of him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWeatherGuy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Not getting a ton in downtown DC. Rain, a few big gusts. But nothing remarkable. Per the radar, it looks like we got gapped by the the storm that hit MoCo and the big line of storms in VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpljr77 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah, 'violent' is a good way to describe it. It came in as a wall, lasted for 5 or so minutes, and was out of here. Exactly. Zero visibility for a second. One of the trees in the parking lot lost a pretty big limb. My office building (N. Bethesda) still has power, if anyone is benchmarking.

gymengineer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The adrenaline rush on this storm was incredible (daytime helped).... I saw and heard the transformer flash to my west just a second or two before the wall of rain came in-- so that neighborhood next to mine got the gust right at the onset of rain right before the rain crossed the street to my place.

Kmlwx Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 HOLY HELL. That was insane. Lots of small/mod branches down here. Leaves and small twigs were swirling but my visibility was pretty limited. I would not doubt at all that something went thru just north. I want to let PD and Fire deal with stuff before I venture out a little. Lots of intersections dark according to ham radio and PD radio.
