0.65” in 20 minutes and 35 mph winds.  Got a video from Bowie and those winds were intense, looked like 65 mph 

It definitely delivered. At least 50mph gusts (maybe more) , pea sized hail, and no power.

I lasted on my porch in Sterling for about 5 minutes then took shelter.  It was quick but intense.  Branch ended up through our garage roof.

Sorry to see this.    The range of conditions across the DMV on this particular line has been interesting. Many getting hammered; some getting hardly anything at all.

Y'all jackpoted because I'm in Vermont. Enjoy!

[BlizzardNole]

Managed 0.23 from our thundershower which is decent for this area.  Might get us close to a whole inch for the month

[midatlanticweather]

Wow! Just had a "bolt out of the blue" here near Purcellville. Was super crazy bright with amazing thunder. Wow! 

[wawarriors4]

Nasty storm rolling thru, power is out wind easily gusted 50-60 mph. 1 tree I can see is down, lots of leaves and branches too….and it’s absolutely pouring now.

ETA: just NW of FXBG

Home lost power briefly. Hearing lots of tree damage south of my house down 83 to Hunt Valley, seems the worst of it missed my house per Mr Map

Multiple trees down around Sparks Md. blocked all possible paths for a few hours today. Good to finally be home.

Lost power at 4:15. Supposed to be out until tomorrow afternoon. Power lines sheared off in Monkton. Punch from that storm wind was quite something.  I guess bad around the area?

It may be the longest power outage that I can recall.

Your area sure has cashed in a lot within the past year or so.

Just one of those years I guess….still feels like we are behind in total rainfall.

Some middling lightning/thunder, steady rain for about 10-15 min now, none of which I feel deserves a ST warning....but the most impressive thing was the boiling pot of mammatus clouds just prior to the "main" weather kicking in on this line...

Holy shit what a picture!!

[Maestrobjwa]

Not sure what it us about Baltimore City...I guess because we are literally the middle of the state, storms will just...go north and south? Lol I don't know how it works, but it's kinda annoying.

I cannot Ever recall having seen a more brilliant orange sky

Yeah that was something else. It was quite sudden too, the entire sky just exploded with orange/yellow.

Mine was brilliant I orange .  I was about 10 minutes  too late with pics and too dark.

orange like someone just painted it on white paper. I got some mileage on me too!

Sunset tonight was just freaky orange and absolutely beautiful.  My camera didn't do it justice but some pics from neighborhood Facebook page

Freaky orange is right and I’m still worked up. Kenny did you see it?  This picture is closest yet to way it was at my house but it’s still not all encompassing orange enough!!

Wow! How often do you get good severe up there?

More than I expected when I moved here. We seem to get a good storm every couple years. I’ve seen a funnel cloud twice in the 8 years here. A wall cloud with rotation twice. And I was at work when a tornado hit about 1 mile from my house in Feb 2020.  
 

I do miss the pure lightning storms that used to be common where I grew up in south Jersey. But I get good severe events up here.  Still no power though. Might not be back for days according to BGE. Using a generator to try to save the 3 months of meat in my freezer.

27 between Manchester and Westminster was a mess. Trees and power lines down everywhere. 

[psuhoffman]

Some pics from around town 

27 just south of Manchester 

 

South side of Manchester 

 

 

These are just down Ebbvale from my house. Whatever it was the worst passed just a few hundred yards south of me down my street. 

 

my kids think they’re camping. 

[WEATHER53]

Many big limbs down both sides beltway between 450 and Kenilworth. Got one guy saying trees were bending over. Maybe over  70mph?

That’s a mess and looks like 65-70mph results do you think? Looks like our grandchildren 2.5-5.5 age.

Hope @EastCoast NPZ is ready

And @wxtrix

Caught some 50 mph gusts at the office in winchester.  No hail.  Looked more impressive than it was.

Meanwhile at home....next to zilch.  Passed just south.

[mappy]

Catching up on Hereford Zone Facebook and the amount of tree damage along 83 to Hunt Valley is crazy. So many downed trees and lines. Got incredibly lucky at home to not get hit by that part of the storm. Was there any rotation at the time? 

[WxWatcher007]

Glad everyone is ok. Looks like that ENH worked out.
