The Dude

Ended up with 2.99" here, 2.41" of which came from the overnight storm.

Nicely done. That's probably the best footage I've seen of the Edgewater/Annapolis tornado. (And thanks for not yelling throughout the video!)

Massive light and rain show here last night. 2.42" here, with a max rate of 14"/hr.

Amen. We'll be further south near Wilmington. No thanks on a Cat 3 landfall!

That sounds about right. The soil was damp after all the rain earlier in the week, but a neighbor had a healthy white pine snapped ~30 feet up. And I saw countless large limbs down in addition to the numerous full trees that were down. My initial estimate from watching the winds come through was ~50 mph, but after seeing the damage, I wouldn't be surprised if some spots saw ~60.

Drove around a bit. A number of trees down, a ton of branches down. Definitely a top 5 storm over the past 18 years that I've lived here.

Can confirm. We've got trees down in the neighborhood and no power. Core of the winds passed just south of here, but I'd estimate the gusts were approaching 50 mph.

I wonder if they issued it in anticipation of pulse storms developing on the outflow. We already see initiation. Seems like they'd hit maturity just as their getting inside the beltway.

.19" here. Most of the storms went just north (~2-3 miles) or a bit further south (~5 miles)

It's getting into the area the earlier storms plowed through. Thinking the atmosphere is pretty worked over there.

Most definitely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Awesome find. Added to my bookmarks! Thanks.

Where'd you find the data on stream flow?

My place was about 3 miles to the east of the caboose on the rain train. Storms kept firing up just west of the 270/495 triangle and training over my place. 2-3 miles south of here looked completely dry. In fact, we had to convince my son's soccer coach to cancel practice because it wasn't raining at his place about 4 miles away. All summer, we've been close to similar trains, but they've been missing just north, south, west, and east. I guess it was our turn. Edit: Just noticed a 4.31" report just west of White Oak on CoCoRaHS.

Yup. My ignore list is well-equipped for the regional weenies. Looks like I need to expand it to capture the tropical weenies.

3.04" here.

Nearing an inch here over the last ~30 min.

Ha! I've got a beach trip in the Carolinas coming up, so I'm spreading my wings!

Potential Tropical Cyclone

What a freak show!

Pretty sure that was CGI.

Nice of them to break out the camera with 240p resolution!

The cell north of Mt. Airy also has some rotation developing.
