3+ inches of rain from the storm as it passed through Burke, and going. Not surprised it was just warned for tornado, nasty stuff. 

Nothing wild in Burke. Couple of intense gusts, but just a few sticks down in the yard. Plenty of lingering T&L. I've lived here for 17 years, not sure I've ever been in a polygon for up to 80mph before!

1.27 in Burke out of that first line. 

Phenomenal runoff in Pohick Creek in Burke. You can hear it roaring from quite a distance.

Not much wind, but there’s some serious electricity here. Most impressive I may have ever seen.

I kept looking towards the high tension wires that abut my yard to catch some of the strikes. Pretty wild.

Recorded 2.50 in Burke. Still in a very light rain. 

I can step in for Burke. Quality June storm - a bit of small hail, some small sticks down from the winds, and a great light show. Feels like summer now.

Great change of wind directions with swirling leaves everywhere. Not fun when surrounded by giant old trees, but no issues.

Exactly, hence my self-trolling.

 

Heck of a lightning strike in Burke (towards W. Springfield) a couple of minutes ago. We all jumped in our house. Good stuff. These guys working on a driveway on my court are still outside. I don't get it...

 Negative, yoda. Normal service resumed.

Today's evasive storm maneuvers were a work of art to miss Burke in the way it did... 

Watching from my home in Burke now. Still no rain, but winds have really kicked up since the outflow moved through.

Sounds like you're pretty close to me. I'm in Burke, relatively near Burke Road and Rolling Road. Not far from yoda.

Yup, I'm off of Shiplett, maybe a 500 feet north of Old Keene Mill. Wish I had a view of Pohick Creek right now.

I was going to say I am not far from him and I got at 2-3" of rain here in West Springfield

My backyard is the border for West Springfield (the big power lines), so eastern Burke  

I was driving home from Fairfax City this morning hoping to cross Guinea before Long Branch rose... lotta anxiety during that 20 minute drive!

Burke didn't do too bad. Recorded 2.06 from the event in less than hour.

2.15 from today, in Burke. Backyard nearly had rapids going in the downhill portion. Good stuff.

For those in FFX, there's water running across Guinea between Braeburn and Braddock in two different spots. I was able to drive over it (didn't see it, not a fun surprise). Was worst around the Long Branch stream.

Not terribly impressed in Burke. Seen far better innumerable times before.

Edit: 100% meh

Micro split between two stronger clusters. Our trees are gracious.
