mattskiva Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Same at Little River Tpk at Braddock Rd. Typical that MoCo gets slammed. 0.19" of rain here, and a destructive 22mph maximum wind gust on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yea not sure if it ran out of gas or what, but it didn't seem to bad in 21144. First severe weather season being a dad so I'm a little more cautious. I had an 8 month old for Hurricane Sandy. You definitely prepare differently.

DDweatherman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Surprised that Yoda has not posted an interesting line from Atlanta's NWS with a STW there for "devastating" winds of 80+mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I mapped to swaths of damage. One was approximately 2.8 miles long and the other was 1.5 miles. The width was no more than 100 - 200 yards. Both in lower Montgomery County. NWS assessment team is scheduled to visit the areas tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Scariest part of the storm was 3 hours after the storm ended. Cool looking sky this evening though on my way home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtropics Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 A colorful sunset tonight... Your backyard is beautiful. I am so jealous! I really need to leave crummy MoCo in favor of a place on the bay! Atleast until I relocate permently to a place in the coastal south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 What 'hit' them in that video was not a tornado. Yeah it was the rainshaft and they simply saw straight line winds as the storm rolled through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Went up to Cloverly around 8:30 and damage was impressive. Would think winds could not have been less than 70mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Talked with family member who was up at rte 100 and I-95 area. Was watching radar at exact same time. She was getting upset because raining so hard and blowing enough had to pull over. In front of her she said the "clouds were on the ground" but not any rotation nor incredible winds so I don't know how far away exactly. It did not end real quickly, I think closer to 10 minutes than five. Lot was going on observation wise myself and keeping up with the phone convo. All the traffic had pulled over so probably some others that were shaken up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was in what appeared to be the center of the signature on radar, even though rotation was weakening at that point. I did NOT see a funnel or tornado, although it was a very ominous scene, not to mention there was flash flooding, strong winds and literally gridlock roads. A lot of cars parked under overpasses and some kook on the radio also recommended that. Luckily he was corrected by the host. I believe this was in Elkridge. I've been driving literally all day, so haven't gotten to look at much in the way of reports. I'm still 3+ hours from home lol. Talked with family member who was up at rte 100 and I-95 area.

All the traffic had pulled over so probably some others that were shaken up too. I was very near both of those places at exactly the same time, ~4:10-4:15ish and I was on the road. Certainly were some clouds that extended as near to the surface as I could see in the trees/buildings, but I saw no rotation (and I looked). Once the rain hit, it was torrential, but I was so close to home that I just wanted to get there and kept going. Any rotation looked like it stayed south of I-95 based on radar.

smokeybandit Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I left Woodlawn at 4, got to Odenton at 4:45, which took me by the airport area. By the time I got to I-195, the sun was coming out. While I'm by no means spotter trained, I saw nothing of suspicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
