Beaumont Tx area getting crushed per radar . Hrrr pastes between 10-20" for parts of extreme se Tx tonight ...probably overdone but if not ...damn.

3k puts down 10-18" lollies as well . TDs are almost more exciting to track than a hurricane.  

Meanwhile 16 years ago at this moment...

This is GeorgeBM reporting live from Herndon, VA.

The winds are starting to absolutely rip! I've experienced a few wind gusts all the way up into the 15-20mph range. If this keeps up a dead leaf or two may be ripped off of the trees around me and smash into the ground doing significant damage to the photosynthesis of the grass blades underneath! 

ETA: Looking outside there is already a dead leaf that I can see IMFY. Only 30% of the sky is clear with translucent sunshine shining through the high clouds right now. I hear that there may even be a brief sprinkle in a few spots?!

I'm in fear for my life.

Meteorological Fall is upon us.

I don't see anything on USGS

It was a strange wavy/jiggly feeling like adrenaline mixed with vodka and corona shaking it's way through my body... almost as if an anniversary of a wavy/jiggly event hit me.

What the-- I'm not the only one who felt that right?!

One heck of a thunderstorm in Smithsburg around 6pm.( just east of hagerstown) Trees down everywhere. 

Pea size hail also

There was mention of a 59mph wind gust in Smithsburg in an earlier severe thunderstorm warning issued by the NWS in Sterling, VA.

1630z update put us in a SLGT risk for today.

...Northern VA and vicinity this afternoon...
   A small thunderstorm cluster and diffuse MCV will move eastward from
   the eastern WV Panhandle across northern VA/MD this afternoon. 
   Surface heating in advance of this minor wave will contribute to
   moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg), and some loose clustering
   of storms is expected this afternoon.  Steep low-level lapse rates
   and DCAPE near 1000 J/kg will favor occasional downbursts with some
   potential for wind damage.

Add today to the nasty list . Brought 8 bottles of water down to my Federal hill job .All gone by 1pm. Glad to be almost home . A cold beer will taste great after a day like today 

Were those the standard 16.9oz bottles? If so, then that's quite a bit of fluid downed in half a day.

IAD just got 0.23" of rain in one minute between 3:29pm and 3:30pm edt!

Random question for you guys. Do you know of a site where I can find radar loops from any point in the past? I know on Wunderground they used to allow you to search the past on radar but I can't seem to be able to do it anymore.
