Per the STW, the storm is moving east at 75 mph !

We were sitting on our deck in Canaan Valley, and looking at the sky to the which was lighting up like crazy.  We couldn't hear the thunder but I figured someone was/was about to get rocked with all that lightening.  It was crazy intense

I'm guessing the Berryville WV spotter report is west of you?

[yoda]

Looks it threw out an OFB?  Radarscope has it to the SW all the way back towards N VA

Yes, Berryville is about 25 miles west of me, just south of Berkeley Springs High School.  
Walked my property and found large tree branches down everywhere across my 4 acres.  The whole time I was outside I could hear sirens coming from different directions.  Rare to hear that out here in the sticks.

A large tree is down on I-81 near me and a trampoline landed in the highway also lol

[nw baltimore wx]

Walking and sipping a whiskey after a long shift at the brewery and almost got blown over. Just a couple of minutes of wind and rain isn’t close, but not bad!

Camp David AWOS 81 mph gust

Holy shit!

71mph gust at Carroll County Regional Airport AWOS

[yoda]

Numerous roads closed in the Thurmont to Emmitsburg area in MD due to dozens of trees down

[paxpatriot]

Seeing some people in Hagerstown reporting green lightning this evening. Pretty crazy storm.

[32º]

Roads closed and many trees down in north baltimore county. The H on the radar is my home. Does the red velocity indicate rotation or a downburst? I do not see a bright green next to it. The red followed the storm at least a mile.
