mattie g Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Solid boomer for February. Not severe though. "Mid-Atlantic Severe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Now THAT was impressive. Absolute wall of rain and wind at home. I honestly never remember what the criteria for severe are, but it had to have been fairly close IMBY. Saw some pretty impressive cloud-to-ground strikes, too.

mdhokie Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 wow everything is flooded, this is no good. All my neighbors are out trying to unclog things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaWarrior2 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Crazy Flooding, very anomalous storm for February 24th, gusts were legit 35mph before the rain. Empty Recycling Bins were falling, lids were blowing like 200 feet away. Seems like 295 or just east through BWI NNE through Downtown Baltimore and then up near Parkville/Loch Raven got the most. Very Dangerous situation at my house, we have guests living down the basement and the flooding is crazy, it's a electrical hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Man this is a heck of a tornado event for VA (at anytime of the year). Can't remember too many events like this where we've had basically a line of semi-discrete supercells across the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Anybody have any damage in St. Mary's County - they've had a few good couplets in the county last little while.

Ian Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Interesting event. I think I was right about tor risk not making it up here and it generally stopped where I thought it would. But a bit bigger than expected otherwise. Hugging climo is dumb sometimes and you know it's dumb at the time but you do if anyway. That said getting a report is pretty simple around here. I don't think much of what came thru this area was severe. Spotty sure. Blanket warnings again.. The usual. Too many red warnings south. Kinda silly. Good event for the broader region tho. Impressive for Feb. Kudos to high risk I think. He mentioned like a week ago. Btw I'm going to start a new spring severe thread and make this an event thread.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Co-worker in Damascus had siding and shingles blown off his roof last night, said there was a big hiss that came through his neighborhood near Cedar Grove ES last night. There was a concentration of damage and 5 utility poles were snapped off at the base on Rt. 27 @ Davis Mill Rd.

Shadowzone Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Blanket warnings again.. The usual. Too many red warnings south. Kinda silly. Despite the predictions by SPC, NWS Wakefield decided not to issue a Tornado watch until 2:00 p.m. As a school official, I was being pressed for a recommendation regarding cancelling after-school activities well before that time, and noted that no watches (T-Storm or Tornado) had been issued. They did send the SPC analysis to our County's Emergency planners. I'm not sure, but I think the tornado that killed 3 people in Waverly at about 2;40 p.m. was not preceded by a warning. After blowing that call (if I am correct), NWS Wakefield then issued warnings associated with multiple supercells as they moved across the Piedmont and Tidewater from 4:00 p.m. into the early evening. The 1129 Forecast Discussion had only noted "DAMAGING WINDS AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR AN ISLTD TORNADO." I'm sure NWS Wakefield will issue a report to document the tornado outbreak, which was quite extraordinary for Virginia at any time of year, and truly exceptional for February.

Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Co-worker in Damascus had siding and shingles blown off his roof last night, said there was a big hiss that came through his neighborhood near Cedar Grove ES last night.

Here's a picture from Cedar Grove ES: LINK Don't have the exact number on me, but there is a WeatherBug station at Cedar Grove ES, and it looks like it recorded a 59 mph gust. That would make sense... WeatherBug HQ in Germantown had a 70 mph gust (station on roof), and there was something like a 63 mph gust also nearby. ETA: Here's a map... doesn't have the highest Cedar Grove gust because the screen shot came before their biggest gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 there was a warning issued at 2:37pm for the Waverly area.LSR for tornado shows 2:35p touchdown. They were definitely late on it. Not sure if they were warning as it happened or warned after TDS but can argue they missed it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Lost power last night at 7:00 before the storm even hit. Then the wind came and took down two trees which fell over the lines. Measured a 47 mph gust. Power is still out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
