Dude, I was literally in the one spot maybe 2 mi in diameter in Rockville that got 10 mph winds and 0.1 precip while the rest of the county got smoked. If I was home, I would've been front row center. I hate this timeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Nothing severe at all in Northern Anne Arundel. Minimal winds and 0.05 rain total.

vastateofmind Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 18 minutes ago, yoda said: Sigh Broadcast media reports "numerous trees and branches blew down around Dupont Circle, including several on to people" Yeah. during any thunderstorm I experienced as a child or teen growing up in northcentral PA, I was raised by my (arguably) overreactive parents to: Stay away from the windows! Turn off anything plugged into a wall! Don't run any water faucets, and SURE AS HELL don't take a shower! HIDE UNDER THE BED!!! Having said all that...somewhat tongue in cheek...I will observe that most folks under the age of 35 have zero respect for the potential damage (or death) that severe weather can inflict, and honestly, some are simply not smart (or respectful) enough to GTFO of, oh, say, potential 60-80 mph straight line winds or extra-heavy lightning. I mean...c'mon. Much of this shit is common sense. If you're electing to stay out in the open in Dupont Circle, during a storm like THIS....you're just f*cking asking for it.
