A few photos of the line approaching. This was right about the time Dover was potentially getting rocked by a tornado. Also nudged this guy off the road.

Great video, but can Timmer please stop inventing hype words for wx -- "water trumpet?" I storm chased most years 1992-2016 and know many in the storm chase community, and I have never heard a tornado or waterspout put that way. Cheesy media hype nonsense. Put a different label on something common/mundane to "sell" it more. And really, mets and wx enthusiasts can figure out easy what "water trumpet" means, but the general public? Some will go, "is that a new wx phenomena!?" And such can work it way into mainstream media. I recall on WTOP they used "rain bomb" one time to describe a tstm heavy rain event, and I cringed.

Central PA Summer 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
Yardstickgozinya replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Possible gas leak in the building, there's damage all around the town of columbia. The people here are saying that they saw the tornado. -
Over the past hour, Central Park picked up 1.82" of rain. That is the highest hourly amount on any August 20th since hourly data was recorded. The old hourly mark was 0.63" from 1950. A slow-moving cold front will likely bring showers or thundershowers to the region into late tonight. The New York City area will see a general 2"-4" rainfall with local amounts of 5" by 8 am tomorrow. The frontal passage will be followed by a reinforcing shot of cooler air. Friday could see highs in the upper 70s with some additional showers or thundershowers. The weekend could feature cool and perhaps unsettled weather. The greatest chance for rain will be on Saturday. Somewhat cooler than normal weather will then extend into at least the middle of next week. No excessive heat appears likely through the remainder of August. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +4.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +2.7°C for the week centered around August 12. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +2.32°C. The ongoing strong El Niño, which has reached super El Niño threshold, will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI was -35.32 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.061 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 50% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 76.1° (near normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 0.9° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

I’ll track floods and anomalous events like that. But the 90s and 00s are gone now and Greta is ridging us to death in the summer so we accept and move on. -
Fortunately we have a few thousand hours before the start of met winter.

2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion
Eskimo Joe replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Couple of observations: 1.) Solid call by SPC on the tornado watch upgrade. Looks like the 18z IAD RAOB came in and they went "oh boy". 2.) Too many chuds on social media think they know better than the nerds in Oklahoma. 3.) The video coming out of Kent County, DE are impressive. Looks like a legit tornado went right by Dover Air Force Base.- 2,146 replies
