Chase Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I was out in Dupont on 17th St during the derecho and that neighborhood actually was pretty unscathed by the derecho compared to a few blocks north driving out of the city. Did you take pictures? Those pictures of trees down in the neighborhood streets are always pretty neat because of how narrow the patches of grass are. By derecho, you mean Seahorse Squall?

MN Transplant Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Got a weaker part here but huge gust in first few seconds.. Prob 50+ 38 mph at DCA, 50 mph at a non-standard height in north Arlington. Wild day. Just crazy. 25 mph gust at my house. 0.14" total daily rainfall. Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 SPC 4pm Update... day1probotlk_2000_torn.gif Still 0. lol. seems DC's worst storms come when the SPC odds are lowest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 lol. seems DC's worst storms come when the SPC odds are lowest. Let me guess, that happened on June 29, 2012, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Let me guess, that happened on June 29, 2012, right? We had a mod risk on the derecho day but not early in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 PEPCO doing much better than in past storms lol They cut down a ton of trees in my area. All along power lines. My power flickered twice and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This was not like last years but about 35-40% of forecast area would label this anything but a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same - two flickers/surges here that caused tech to reboot. Maybe we are on the same big feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 We were moved downstiars in my office here in Columbia, prior to that I thought I saw a bit of rotation with the clouds moving in. I know winds were ridiculous for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I was out in Dupont on 17th St during the derecho last summer and that neighborhood actually was pretty unscathed by the derecho compared to a few blocks north driving out of the city. Did you take pictures? Those pictures of trees down in the neighborhood streets are always pretty neat because of how narrow the patches of grass are. Here's some cell phone pics.. got some with cam but dont have cord. https://twitter.com/islivingston/status/345274692405432320/photo/1 https://twitter.com/islivingston/status/345276087066042369/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 We had a mod risk on the derecho day but not early in the day. 7/25/10, Commutageddon, and the derecho were all 150,000+ outages for Pepco. I don't think there's a weak/sick tree left standing in their service area. Of course the tree trimming helps too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Wow, pretty impressive. Nice photos everyone. I think the SPC was right in cutting the risk area a bit, but I think they overcompensated. There was still some pretty nice recovery with sfc temps and dews despite the MCS mixing out some moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'd say closer to NO bust than a Bust based on Moco...I guess for this area, pretty good? pretty good high end non widespread svr day.. imperfect and could have been better but that's how most of our weather is I guess.

gymengineer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This event seems pretty comparable based on reports so far to 7/25/10 given that it seemed to center on northern Loudoun/Montgomery County headed eastward: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/events/squall_line_20100725/ That event was a huge deal around here with extended power outages comparable to the derecho.

09-10 analogy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Coupla crappy pics coming and going, from Ft. Reno. Winds gusted maybe to 50, torrential rain for about 15 minutes and then, poof, it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Chased the book end vortex, saw almost nothing. It gusted out right when I got to it. Saw a few bendy trees. Max damage was a twig with 3 leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Looks like it was mostly heavy rain and some wind here in Severn. Not much debris at all, couple leaves here and there. Backyard is a pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
