    So you're saying that our "severe events" are usually way overhyped?

    I don't care because I know it won't amount to jack s**t IMBY. Enjoy, central and northern Maryland...

    I use RadarScope, as well, but I have no idea how to use most of the options/outputs on it. One thing I don’t like is the lack of a composite national radar, but for being able to view your local radar, it’s pretty great.

    Not a bad idea. Better than killing the (poor?) thing, i guess!

    This place gets worse and worse every year, and sh*tlords like Ji don't help matters at all.

    Shut up, Ji.

    You should be good. Tomatoes are surprisingly tough plants, so with with root system intact they'll snap right back. A couple years ago, I had a hornworm eat through 90% of the stalk on a huge Amish Paste plant. I duct-taped a strip of old t-shirt around the wound and to try to keep moisture in and moving up the stem. I didn't really expect it to work, but the plant continues producing as if nothing had ever happened to it. HOWEVER...this year I have a squirrel who refuses to take the hint that it's not wanted. Doesn't care about my dog, does care some when I put cayenne down, but it returns as soon as the cayenne gets washed away. This is the first time I've dealt with a persistent squirrel in my tomatoes, and I'm fantasizing about putting it six feet under. Honestly...if I lived out in the country I'd have purchased an air rifle by now to off this thing.

    Sounds awesome

    We're totally redoing our garden area, but I only got a chance to build one of the two raised beds I'm planning on. Even so, the half-garden I planted is doing really well. I planted late, but tomatoes are really starting to fruit, so we should be in the goods within a few weeks. I just need to get the second raised bed built in time for the late-summer/fall seeding period. We've had enough rain at the right times, so the lawn is doing just fine. I rarely water it even if it really needs it, so getting the rain we have has been really nice to keep everything green and growing (though not too fast).

    Bring me the elusive golfball-sized hail.

    Definitely localized flooding in this section of Fairfax County. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers

    I find this suspect. Not sure how we'll get even 1/3 of that CAPE.
  13. mattie g
    Well I never!

    Lame
  15. mattie g
    No. It’s lame. As lame as lame can be. Fail. Next.

    One large tree ripped out of the ground and another split in half down by the Tidal Pool. Lots of smaller branches down, too.

    Wow...just got a tornado warning on my phone.

    On Amtrak just north of Bowie. This is looking SW.

    So can I, since I had sleet pellets fhere and there and some wet flakes for 15 minutes or so at around 3:00. So...T. Big win.

    Was really ripping in Burke the last 20 minutes or so. Probably added another 0.10” of rain in that time. Looks ready to ease up now.
  21. mattie g
    Put your phone away. You got better things to do...
  22. mattie g
    When the rates ease up, I go from moderate cold rain to light just-as-cold rain.
  23. mattie g
    Get some
