    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.

    Looks like I'm going to end up with 4.75" in N. Bethesda. That brings me to 23.75" for the year.

    Up to 4 inches in N. Bethesda. Sleet starting to mix in.
  9. The Dude
    Looks like LWX upped their totals

    3 inches in N. Bethesda. Visibility was under 1/8 mile under that yellow band.
  11. The Dude
    SN+ in N. Bethesda. Eyeballing at least 2"

    Looks like 11.5" will be the total here.
  13. The Dude
    Up to 10 inches here. It just doesn't want to stop.
  14. The Dude
    7.5 inches here. Perfect snow day.

    This is the last bit of damage I could find: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Joplin,+MO&hl=en&ll=37.030441,-94.330346&spn=0.003606,0.006968&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.772232,114.169922&vpsrc=6&t=h&z=18 What are you seeing down by Granby?

    It woke my wife up, and she woke me up. I felt the bed vibrating a bit. It felt pretty similar to the Germantown earthquake last year; nothing like Tuesday's.
  21. The Dude
    Yeah, but it was in Missouri then...
  22. The Dude
    Agreed. There is zero need to take any precautions like checking structural integrity. This is America's capital, damnit. I'm sure the buildings and subway system were built strong enough. And I am appalled that the news is covering this event. Sure, we don't get quakes this size around here but one a millennium or so, but other places get them pretty regularly. They are such pansies for focusing on it. And anyone taking pictures of their trash cans to show the impact of a weather event is definitely a pansy. Glad there's no one like that around here.
  23. The Dude
    Looks like it's back to being a 5.8, and the depth is now listed at 6 km.
  24. The Dude
    WHERE IS FEMA??!?!?!?
  25. The Dude
    Sounds right to me. Nothing broken here, but there's no way anyone inside could have missed it. Felt more like a train passing nearby than a truck.
