Mrs.J Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Drove home from Round Hill VA through that line. On back roads with too many trees. Crossed over into MD and there was a lot of flooding running across 340 just East of Jefferson. The road I take to my house was dicey to say the least. Weather station at my house is 1.60”. Not a lot of lightning over in VA but MD was lit up when I crossed the 340 bridge. Now my husband is going to attempt to get home on 270. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I was in my backyard earlier today and was overly surprised how wet and spongy it was. It's never been like this in my 7 years in this place. Now add another .90 and counting. I'm done. Uncle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just now, losetoa6 said: Any flooding there A lot of standing water because the ground is so saturated but we are into the lighter returns now so the ground should recover quickly.

GramaxRefugee Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Finally got one good hit of T&L here. Started raining about 7:20 but rather distant thunder. Not bad though. Eta: Eh, dog went and hid in the closet. Baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I was in a race against that thunderstorm to the Germantown MARC station (6:05 PM). We got there just 4-5 minutes before it unleashed. It was DARK as we rolled in and people tensed up and reached for their helpless umbrellas thinking we were going to get hosed bad. Thanks to good ol' Radarscope, I knew we were good. It hit HARD as I was driving home. Had one CTG strike hit just a few hundred feet from the house just as I walked in. It was cool seeing on that Real Time Lightning website right where it hit, two streets over. Picked up 0.7 and have 7.5 for September. My foot slid and made a big divot just walking in the back yard to the rain gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 .62" over 5 hrs has been enough to make the backyard creek bank full again. 3k and hrrr both indicating some convective rains as it comes to an end tonight. This should be enough to cause some localized, and maybe more widespread, flash flooding around the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
