North Balti Zen

All good. All warning lights off and driving well. Took about four days. Didn’t have to make a claim. Very fortunate. On an unrelated note, I am on vacation at Beaver Island - which is about 30 miles into Lake Michigan northwest of charlevoix , Michigan - maybe 50 miles south of the UP. Real heat wave here today - hit 74. That’s the hottest it will be this week. This vacation rules.

It's brutal. Frankly, it is kinda frightening.

Still some cicada song here.

Weird. Looked really ominous and dangerous, but just some rolling thunder and rain with this at my part of Balt City.

Dark as nightfall in Balt City.

Good call.

Just don’t get in any Murtaugh level shenanigans and end up with a bomb under the commode this close to the finish line…

That's so very very cool and awesome H20. Congrats on every level.

Always crazy when that happens with storms. Sorry you got missed.

Thanks - confirms my obs. Was amazing seeing the line of angry red just to our south - total crush job there. For my house, it was mostly a steady gentle rain.

Worst. Drought. Ever.

Thanks mappy - it absolutely caught me off-guard.

I don't. I have good car insurance. I have just never considered if it responds to flooded road situations. If you don't know, that's cool. Was just wondering if someone here had some experience with this. Thanks anyway.

I get that it will need to be looked at, yes. Is this the kind of thing that car insurance would cover, is my question.

So, it was bad. For those that know the city - the Univ. Balt School of Law at corner of Mt. Royal and Charles - just before you get to the train station. Right as I crossed over Mt. Royal I realized the water was a LOT higher there than I had suspected. I've never seen high water there so me and the car next to me drove into what you are told not to drive into. It was up to hood level and I think I may have lost contact with the road briefly. I did re-grip, car engine never cut off, and got through it. But now my check engine light is on as is the traction warning light. Got home, parked it, crawled inside, and am getting an early drink. If, when it dries out, those lights stay on, anyone had experience with this and car insurance? Should I make a claim if it ends up being something got damaged due to the high water?

Good grief - this rain in Baltimore is insane.

Turned off pretty quick downtown. Maybe five minutes.

That little shower that popped in North Baltimore City expanded into downtown - fairly torrential rain just opened up.

Put flowers in the planters on Sunday - thought to myself - won't have to water this week. Update: I'm gonna water tonight.

Thanks! That explains how close so many were able to get to it.

I posted other angles of that tornado from other chasers last page. Its nuts. Crazy how close they all were able to get.

The flux capacitor? Are time traveling now?

Good lord, this came across my timeline - check this out:
