If it's really still on the ground, it's gotta be one of the longer track tornadoes in the Fredericksburg vicinity that I can remember. It has maintained a surprisingly consistent TVS.

It's much easier to maintain low expectations about severe around here. I try to steer clear of the place around winter because it's harder not to get your hopes up (plus it's not as fun without DT's rants).

I know, I think I'm just noticing the contrast between this thread and the midwest/ohio valley threads where they've been having tornado outbreaks with about 20 people in the thread lol.
-
I love how active it is just for an ENH risk day.
-
lmao at all the people in here!
-
Am I right in my impression that this level of activity wasn't anticipated? It was only an ENH day, right?

Been a little bit more T&L with this one than usual.

Really impressive downpour here. Wind was nothing special, although it still knocked the power out for a few minutes lmao. Sun is already peeking back out. It was cute!

I always just thought I was crazy for thinking this. It’s so rare that we get these classic, quick squall lines anymore, yet I remember them being a sort of regular occurrence when I was a kid.

It’s already breezy and the sky has that gross white haze. Definitely seems like the kind of day we get these nasty lines.
-
Not even a STW for the cell near Locust Grove?
-
Just finally started raining. Weird storm.
-
This came on really quick. Sun to severe in a matter of minutes. And none of my electronics are charged for if the power goes out lmao.
-
The Louisa storm has been looking better with each scan.
-
Just heard on the police scanner that there was a fatality in Stafford.
-
Lights are blinking here.
-
Ugh, this looks like it's going to take all night to move out of here. I want to go to bed.

That cell near Warrenton looks suspicious.
-
Power has been out here for about 15 minutes now, despite the wind dying down.
-
Power already went out briefly here.
-
I'm surprised it was even visible.
-
Decent looking couplet near Amelia.
-
That rotation speed was pretty impressive.
