Eerily looks like the one that hit the DC area in 2012.

Wow I just checked the national radar.  That's one bow echo from hell, it's like half the country!   

JFC the derecho was a nightmare, I could do without one of those for the rest of my life thank you very much. 

Liking those storms building east to west from the eastern shore toward us.  Now they just need to hop over the bay. 

I was just thinking, this August is the equivalent to February 2010 or something like that.  

Man what a time to be alive.  If 9" of rain wasn't enough, last night we got almost 2" more with that thunderstorm and it looks like we're about to be pounded again. Calvert can't catch a break!   

Has it already been determined whether a wet August correlates well with a dry cold Jan/Feb? 

Picked up 0.875" in Eastern Calvert this morning with a monsoon-like deluge for about an hour.  Nice and sunny now.  Nothing better than the smell after a summer storm...except the smell of snow in a noreaster....

Long time lurker, first time poster... Checking in from Calvert County.  Storms had been tracking parallel to us but finally got dumped on, sun coming back out.  We've been spared the storms til now due to proximity to the bay inhibiting convection over my house.  Nice and cool too.
