That, and Mdecoy's fleshlight...

Agreed. Looks like a shelf cloud and some scud. Still, cool pics!

Yeah, they've been going all around us. I'm at less than .2 inches for the week...

It's tough to tell. I doubt that guy knows exactly what happened because it the rain would have blocked his visibility. All the tree damage I can see seems to be unidirectional (to the car's right), but the fairly narrow corridor of damage seems more suggestive of an embedded tornado rather than a microburst. I'm sure NWS will send a survey team given the damage and the concurrent rotation visible on radar.

Very interesting. It's tough to tell with the resolution, but it doesn't seem to be rotating. As always around here, the dang trees get in the way...

It looks like the picture was taken from the roof of a parking garage at Columbia Mall: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Columbia,+MD/@39.216361,-76.8613105,32a,35y,197.4h,78.81t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b7dfb06369a051:0xf0d6bd65b687635d!8m2!3d39.2037144!4d-76.8610462 From this point, the two high rise buildings on the left of the picture would be almost due south, meaning the light on the left side of the picture would be coming from the clear skies to the east and south of the line of storms. So, assuming he's using an extreme wide-angle (~10mm) lens, this picture certainly could be legit.

I had a great view of that as it passed south of my office. There was definitely some lowering and broad rotation. Skies were about as green as I've seen them as the line was rolling in.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the couplet? I didn't see anything when I looked, but my loop may not have gone back far enough.
