Ended up with 0.98" of rain from the storm last evening. Three large trees came down on my property, two across the street and another two doors down. A trampoline that was anchored into the ground with a heavy 6' stake lifted off (bending the stake) and flew about 50' before bouncing off the hood of our truck and then wedging under a tree, keeping it from smashing into the side of the house.

Severe thunderstorm passed through here and brought down numerous large trees with many others snapped off. Winds were roaring as it came through. Numerous roads are blocked.with power lines down.

Pouring rain here. Didn’t see that coming.

We are scheduled to arrive on Sunday for a week at the OBX. Looks like all I'll see from the TD is any additional shells that may have washed up on the beach. Wish this storm were a couple of days later.

99 for my high today. Hottest since I hit 100 on 7/25/2016. Winds roaring now, gusting 35-45 with storms nearby.

9th day in a row of 90+ here. 14 of 21 days in July now, 18 of the last 26 days and 20 days of 90+ for the season. Currently 93.

Checked the records for today at MRB to see if either the record high or record warm low temperatures were in play. 106 is the record for 7/21 in 1930. And 86 for the low from the same day, the hottest night ever at Martinsburg.

87/78 HI 100

‘95-‘96 redux

Some thunder and lightning with the cell that passed through here last hour. More noteworthy was the heavy rain rates. Ended up with 0.79" in about 30 minutes. Water in the driveway is over ankle deep, indicative of how saturated everything remains after nearly 3" early Monday.

So much for getting missed by storms. 2.84" of rain here overnight has flooded low-lying areas

Love this time of year. Today’s haul:

PRELIMINARY LOCAL STORM REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC 246 AM EDT MON JUL 08 2019 0244 AM FLOOD KEARNEYSVILLE 39.39N 77.89W 07/08/2019 JEFFERSON COUNTY WV POLICE REPORTED TO 911 CENTER THAT 8 TO 10 INCHES OF WATER IS COVERING MULTIPLE ROADS IN THE KEARNEYSVILE AREA.

Everything has missed here all week also, despite storms very close by several times. Last evening a few drops fell in my yard but not enough to wet the pavement. Left shortly after to go to the store and the other end of my street had puddles. That’s a very near miss, lol.

Round 2 now is mostly just some heavy downpours. None of the gusty winds of earlier but still quite a bit of t & l.
