Stormfly Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Uh yeah that's pretty big timber horizontal in that first pic! Hope no one got hurt. I was driving to Carney tonight and get caught up in some fierce rain and maybe 30mph gusts. Enough to be annoying. Nice CG too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Power back on after around five hours… worst outage since 2018, which seems like it has to be untrue but pretty sure it’s right. Was just starting to get hot indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Two nights of scattered bad, I missed this with 0.25 after two hour 2” drowning night before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 that line was broken when it hit me, only picked up 0.13. lots of rumbles of thunder and of course it became severe after it passed me. yay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Only .26” from my storms. Better than nothing and hoping for more now that the blast furnace will be on for the next couple days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 .19" here. Most of the storms went just north (~2-3 miles) or a bit further south (~5 miles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two houses with direct hits, one down the street from me and one a block over. Branches down and leaf parts sticking to everything. I bet we went 70+.

CAPE Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I got some leftovers from dying storms. A little over a tenth. Missed most of the action just to the east on Monday. A quarter inch total the last couple days. Not hurting for rain here though. Would be nice to get a good thunderstorm. The inch+ from that coastal low this past weekend was boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaf parts pasted to cars/garage doors/etc. And even low things in my garden are blown over. The good part is that this was localized enough that cleanup is already going quick. Power was only out for 4 hours here and the tree companies are blanketing the neighborhood. I do feel for my neighbors about 5 houses away who had their AC unit smashed. The upcoming 105-110 HI is going to be rough. They may just bail out of town, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really crazy stuff. Sadly those are different houses. The one through the window is particularly scary. Temperatures are interesting today. It has been really dry in west central VA, and sure enough it is 97 at CHO and Culpeper. 95 BWI, 94 IAD, and 91 in the new icebox at DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 90/80 here, feels like 107. It's definitely miserable to be outside doing any kind of hard work. Boomers are gonna have plenty to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
