Yup. It's in between both of us. It's just to my west rumbling away. I was in the middle of watering when I noticed the anvil coming into view over the trees, then the rumbling started. It's headed my way. I hope it makes it. We need it! Jungle conditions with rumbles to the west. Beautiful summer evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Much needed 15 minute downpour and though the rain has stopped, the nonstop lightning and thunder continues. Most of it seems to be cloud to cloud and seeing some good webs across the sky. lol. Just as I submitted this post, a huge cloud to ground strike nearby.

BlizzardNole Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 We were driving home from Calvert and got caught by a heavy t-storm right as we got off the Beltway onto I-95 N to get on the ICC. My wife was driving and she freaked when we had about a 40 mph gust with just blinding rain. We found a big construction sign on the shoulder so we pulled over just past it and waited a few. It was INTENSE! Several others pulled over as well. Got home to Germantown and found 1.12 in the gauge. 1.25 for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Had about three minutes of raindrops the size of golfballs at around 5:00 yesterday afternoon. Not sure how much it dropped, but couldn't have been any more than 0.05". Did enough to cool it down for about 30 minutes, then it heated up again. Haven't slept well in about five or six days because the AC is having a tough time keeping up, especially upstairs. It's too damn hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
