Disgusting out there. Easily the worst day of the summer here. Was outside staking out an area for excavation/tree removal for a new expanded parking pad, and drenched. Just walking in the woods and hammering in stakes. Took a shower and now sipping on a 120. Feel much better.B)

Interesting that the same thing is happening today as it did yesterday. The electricity in the cell that clipped Burke yesterday was super impressive.

I'm not sure if is normal for up here in Williamsport/Hagerstown or not.  We just moved in two weeks ago. Haha.  Looks like round two is coming in now.

Does anyone think these storms make it to the coast? I could use a cool off here, only had a small rumble tease of something that went to the North yesterday.

Like yesterday, I don't expect the line of storms to hold together as it heads east.

@CAPE what do we have to do to get some storms over here, 92 with 80% humidity not enough juice?  Squeezed out 0.09" with that dying storm.

The last 2 days places west of us have been favored with the better forcing. Nothing really to keep the convection going as it moves east with the loss of heating.

I think I’ve seen enough to say that this was the biggest storm to hit my immediate neighborhood in decades (better than the derecho).  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+.

Perhaps the best thing I cull from here is when a veteran local observer with complete knowledge turns in Obs of “most in decade(s)…….most Ever. “

Was one of these houses in the 7500 block of Salem? Curious because my wife saw on FB that the house of somebody she knows in Falls Church  was hit by a falling tree.

Here's the general location of the significant tree vs house hits that I'm aware of.  I put an X on Salem (the NW one), but I didn't go over there to check.  The Falls Hill one that we've been talking about was on Barbour.
