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

Here is my footage of the Edgewater, MD tornado in the early afternoon. I should have also seen the Mullica Hill, NJ tornado but unfortunately botched my road planning.

 

 

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.

OMG, no thank you.  We're in OBX that week and would prefer no evacuation. 

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

I think winds may have been 60?

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.

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.

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.

Lots of damage reports spanning from around North Bethesda to the Holy Cross Hospital area.

Radar looks pretty meh for that metro area warning - granted I haven't looked at the TDWRs

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)

Loudoun storm has departed the earlier warning. Severe probs are going way down now. 

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

Thank you! It's good to know my lack of sleep is actually creating something of value for people. 

 

Most definitely.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I somehow didn't realize there was a gauge right near my parent's house. Been there since 1920s!

Awesome find.  Added to my bookmarks!  Thanks.

I am not surprised at all. That report is centered right in an area that had substantial training. NW Branch near Kemp Mill Rd and Randolph Rd went from 3cfs of flow to 706cfs during the height of it. Will be interesting to see where any storms fire and how fast the movement is today. If there's any sort of redveloping/training over the same areas today it could be a lot worse! 

Where'd you find the data on stream flow?

Wow  and 1.95 here and 2+ Adelphi but so much zero all around. What happened right over us?

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.

I prefer the talent we have here with EJ and Vice Regent

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.

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

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