  1. As car-centric the country is, at bare minimum if you're tight, I'm sure you could evac slightly inland to a parking garage to get height. Sure it'd be really terrifying to be in a car with the winds but the water will kill you faster in your home rather than being 3-5 stories up in a parking garage in land. And yes, there are always some that physically can't evac (e.g. the elderly) but those that make the conscious decision to not leave but have the means to because "X storm wasn't so bad, so this one won't be either" or "the forecasters were wrong about X storm in my backyard that one time, so they're going to be wrong this time" I have very little empathy for.
  2. And it will be so frustrating to hear "well you didn't warn us hard enough!" when they barely escape with their lives.
  3. I want the option where we get finally get our cake, only to find out it's carrot cake.
  4. Winds ripping, getting power flickers in downtown silver spring.

  6. Looking more and more like the HRRR is going to win out.
  7. Nice shower. Dropping enough rain to obscure objects about 1.5 miles away in Bethesda.
  8. Just pouring rain and constant T&L in downtown silver spring
  9. We have a pity meso. Mesoscale Discussion 1655 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0137 PM CDT Fri Aug 05 2022 Areas affected...southeast and eastern VA...MD...DE Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 051837Z - 052030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered gusts primarily ranging from 45-60 mph are possible with the stronger storms. The wet microbursts will be capable of isolated pockets of wind damage. DISCUSSION...Visible-satellite imagery shows convective initiation has recently ensued across southeast VA and it becoming imminent southeast of D.C. as of 230 EDT. Surface conditions are very warm and humid with temperatures rising into the lower 90s with mid-upper 70s dewpoints. Modifying forecast soundings indicates around 3000 J/kg MLCAPE is located over eastern VA northward through the Chesapeake Bay/Delmarva vicinity. The ample buoyancy and high PW (2 inches) amid a weak wind profile supports a pulse-thunderstorm threat this afternoon into the early evening. Strong to locally severe gusts (45-60 mph) are probable with the stronger wet microbursts, and localized pockets of wind damage will likely accompany these stronger gusts. Small to marginally severe hail (0.5 to 1.0 inch in diameter) may occur with the stronger updraft pulses through the late afternoon. ..Smith/Hart.. 08/05/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

  10. Fairly sure there was just the one on the 12th which most everyone got some action (that cell was a big boy). I think there was another storm that came through last week but it did the same thing, I was roaming around setting up for the cell to come through and watched it just turn into a rain shower as it got close to 270. That also goes without saying the cells that do the standard DC split.
  11. I don't know what microclimate there is where the MoCo cell is, but cells going through that area recently start dying crossing the Potomac there unless it's a mothership of a cell.
  12. Both cells in Leesburg and Warrenton seem to be just raining lightning bolts.
  13. Make sure to deep fry the turkey OUTSIDE the house come Thanksgiving.
  14. The joys of being on the fringes of a meso/box, I am prepared to be whelmed.
  15. The lightening display on the back side is one hell of a treat ngl.
  16. From rooftop of Tysons, can definitely see the shelf cloud getting bigger and bigger. It's not backlit so it doesn't look as ominous.
  17. I'm seeing the same thing, this is interesting for these parts.
  18. Already seeing mammatus clouds on the leading edge here in Tysons.
