-Press Release- A Tragic Loss Following Severe Weather in Mount Airy. During the height of the storm, at 5:20 PM, an individual became trapped in a storm drain, located at 201 W. Watersville, Apartments after being caught in rapidly rising floodwaters. Mount Airy Police and Fire Departments, along with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and other emergency responders, worked tirelessly in an attempt to rescue the individual. Despite their heroic efforts, the operation transitioned from a rescue to a recovery. The individual was ultimately recovered from the storm drain but, unfortunately, succumbed to injuries sustained during the event. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We ask the community to keep them in their hearts and to recognize the dedication of the first responders who answered the call without hesitation. Respectfully, Chief Michael Ginevra

Mt airy looks like it’s being nuked now on RadarScope.

Getting hammered here right now, torrential rain.

Really cool seeing dual outflows spark storm south of Westminster.

Yeah been saying this all July, I can’t remember this many days of 75+ dews. Normally that’s a high end type humidity day not every day of July.

Dew points uniformly 80 in takoma park and silver spring. Truly just awful soup for air. All the windows were dripping wet with condensation this morning.

94/78 in silver spring heat index 110

I don’t think I remember a summer with this many 75-80 dew point days. Really humid.

Wild pics from takoma park and silver spring. Sligo parkway was part of the creek today.

This has to be one of the longest stretches of dew points around or above 75 we’ve had in a while.

More heavy rain and lightning, story of the summer.

Tons of lightning with this stuff.

Nice storm here. Lots of lightning and heavy rain.

Doing pull ups in my detached garage with no HVAC. I imagine this is what it’s like doing hot yoga. 98/76 at the closest reliable sensor.

DC spiked to 99 and is back to 97
