I would say Feb 21, 2018 high 500mb heights (588dm in DC) is one of them.

Thanks. I added it to the tornado outbreaks option (since no one's voted for that anyway).

@wasnow215 can you move your vote to that choice now? Thanks!

Ok will do!

The rainfall is my new number one

I guess it doesn't allow you to change your vote? I thought we used to have this functionality.

That derecho knocked down so many damn trees on the Allegheny Front it caused me to get incredibly lost a couple weeks later on an afternoon hike about 5 miles northwest of Snowshoe. While I was hiking a week after the derecho a summer storm came up and sat right over me, I was instantly in the clouds. There were so many trees down with near zero viz it was impossible to follow any “trail”. 20 hours and 24 miles (mostly bushwhacking) and i ended up at my condo 15 miles from where I had parked my car to start the hike. When I started it was 72 degrees when I returned home it was 47 degrees (at 4 am on July 30th mind you) I was in a t-shirt and shorts. Because it was supposed to be a quick 3 mile afternoon hike I only brought a 20 oz. bottle of water with me.

I'll never forget looking at that derecho radar and couldn't believe what I was seeing.  Then the whistling sound my doors made as the storm started.  I was thinking that you're missing the College Park F3 tornado of 2001, but you only said decade.
