I was probably right behind you. It got wild when the whiteout of wind driven rain hit. It looked blue outside due to the extreme rainfall. It definitely gave me hurricane chase video vibes. The lightning was also wild.
Wow! What an afternoon. I was working in Ellicott City. I was washing a large house. I got nailed with a storm around 1. I just kept washing. Then on my way home I got raked on 32 by NSA. Back here in low lowlands were getting waves of thunderstorms. It looks like a very stormy evening for the 95 corridor.
That storm in Southern PG is a loud little beast. It's perfect for a summer evening mood storm. My area is drenched so I'm not mad It's missing to the south.
The lowlands of AA County have been swamped this week. I had a classic, strobe light, nighttime thunderstorm last evening that dropped 1.90". I've had over 3" this week. No drought here. We're in the green now.
The bay spit out another boundary that came across the lowlands and fired off some loud little pop-ups. It rained here for about 15 minutes. The sun was out the whole time. It was kinda cool. It's really steamy and tropical right now.
Edit: Holy shit! I just look at the Dover radar. That is a crazy sea breeze front. Is it rain? It looks crazy on radar.
I've been busy working and not paying attention. I look at my phone and see a flood watch and a severe thunderstorm watch. Then I looked at radar and short range models. I'm confused lol.
I hear a lot of thunder from the PG County storm.
I'm one of the lucky ones today. I had a nice storm. I received about .80" in about 20 minutes. The temp went from 99 to the low 70's in about 20 minutes also.
It's amazing. The forest is quiet. I've got a few birds hanging out in the grassy shady area along the woods. The ground is probably cooler there. It's interesting how the animals handle extreme temperatures, both cold and hot.
97 here in the thick forest along the South River. It's probably 100 just above the trees. I'm sweating just sitting on my shady screen porch smoking a dooby.
Same problem I get when doing paver restoration. I can't apply polly sand if a thunderstorm is possible. Errr....
My truck is reading 97 in Severna Park. Same as it was yesterday at this time.
I can't wait for record heat. RIP veggie garden again this year. We'll get enough heat to kill everything. Then the pattern will shift back to normal. Our climo sucks for just about everything except heat, wind, and clouds.
It came across my hiking spot in Crownsville. It was above the surface and not as strong. It still ripped the tops out of some big trees along it's path. Thar was a good storm here in the lowlands.
