From Downton Columbia looking S down 29. This was rotating like crazy. Got a cool time lapse video of it too.

I am not sure I would go that far at all. They were warning the storms left and right. SPC didn't coordinate a Tornado Watch due to expected overall low coverage. However, given the risk, the smarter move could have been to issue a small watch given the major metro area. HOWEVER, flip side is that if they issued a watch and no storms formed or only weak ones...false alarm fatigue. I would hope that the warnings did their job. Wouldn't call it a "huge fail" by the weather service but that's just my two cents. Very easy to judge after the fact. 

I just really should have said, why no watch or anything. That’s what I really meant.

Confirmed tornado on that one as well. Wild day.

Dang…this storm over Baltimore is a long track supercell. Probably 40-50 miles and counting? We don’t get a lot of those.

The environment that this evenings storms had. I do wonder if that surface dewpoint is a bit high though.

[Interstate]

Not much lightning or Thunder here but up to 2.6 inches of rain. Over an inch in the last 20 minutes 

[Chinook]

did that rotation re-form northeast of Downtown?

Not the best location but I took this image looking north from Rockville shortly after the funnel/tornado crossed 270. Crazy day.

How bad is the damage around gburg? Do we think this affects school operations tomorrow?

[NorthArlington101]

Obviously am curious what the rating will end up being. Can’t find damage photos that look significantly worse than the EF-1 damage I saw in Arlington a few years ago… or that looks too much stronger than the microburst. But very tough to tell and #notaprofessional

The flooding in Harford County is crazy. I'm seeing some facebook live videos in Abingdon (Box Hill) of a neighborhood with water up to windows in vehicles with people trapped. Harford emergency response is busy.
