wxdude64 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 So, just got power back here, I had a 66 mph gust on the weather station and have 4 trees down on my property. Two missed the house by 10 feet and are laying in front yard. That was most impressive. Between 2:45- 2:50 pm. All were pulled over with big chunks of root balls, biggest tree brought a 10 foot by 10 foot slab of dirt with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 50mph winds off the ground per the DCA TDWR. They are going to warn that 9 times out of 10 coming into the metro where every other tree likes to fall over.

dailylurker Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Missed to the north yesterday. Missed to the south today. Radar says congrats south of DC today. Just a passing sprinkle and muggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino16 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 That was boring. The thunder stopped before the storm even got here. Wind was meh. Now that it’s passed, thunder has started again. Storms are weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to capture the speed of it on video with "meh" results -- doubling the playback speed shows motion better. It was definitely hauling ass, and I could hear the increasing roar of the wind to the west, about five minutes before it slammed Hayfield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Gusty garden variety storm here with some thunder. Wont last long. The good stuff is well south towards Cambridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 4 hours ago, vastateofmind said: You finally identified a few posts back this specific owl species that's been stalking my backyard, @Stormfly....and then I finally caught one on camera last night just a few minutes after midnight! Video quality is meh (it's a Blink camera), but you can see it fly in at lower left, probably going after a frog or mouse on the patio. I was excited to capture this, as I've only ever seen them as swooping silhouettes in past years! If you have enough lights to draw bugs it will draw toads. We get plenty of fist sized toads around here. Those can be annoying themselves (their "song" is a continuous cricket like sound). The owls love 'em! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
