BlizzardNole Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'm in DC so I will actually get to see some heavy rain. I hope there is some lightning with it as I have hardly seen any this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 That strike was close. I may walk the neighborhood later to see what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 No question that this is the best storm of the summer. Just had a lightning strike that somehow turned on one of my daughter’s toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I am going to guess that FFWs will be needed soon with the way this rain is coming down... nice thunder and lightning as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know the exact accuracy, but the bolt and the thunder were nearly instantaneous. Can’t have been more than a couple blocks away and the direction is correct.

BlizzardNole Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Pretty good rain and some thunder in NE DC, winding down now. Based on radar, looks like Germandesert will stay dry. The lawn was hard as concrete when I mowed yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Neighborhood PWS says only 0.28” which seems pathetic based on the upstream reports and radar. Pouring in greenbelt right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 2.13" here in just over an hour from 6:00-7:00 p.m. It left water rushing across numerous roadways in the area, and standing water in farm fields and back yards. Now at 8.14" for August. The fourth consecutive 7.00"+ month in my yard. And thunder has returned and more downpours are bearing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
