Mrs.J

Getting dark here in Lewes. Radar showing a couple of cells that will be coming through.

So ended up with 1.14” at the house in Frederick. Monthly total of 8.90” so far. compared to the 2 and a half inches last July. Not sure what we got here in Lewes last night. The thunder was so loud and we are in a ground floor condo and it shook the entire room. I have heard that there was a situation down in Chincoteague overnight at the camp grounds. Tent campers were having a rough night with flooding and campers that did not put their awnings down had them ripped off. And they got hit again this morning. There is standing water all over here in Lewes. Have seen video of the water spout off of Lewes last night. Am glad I looked at weather on Monday and decided to not take the ferry over to Cape May yesterday. Could have been an interesting ride if we were on the last ferry.

Getting some quality thunder and lightning over here.House shakers.

So at my house the total is 1.14”. Over here in DE a flash flood warning was just issued. Some nice thunder and lightning as the rain is coming down.

Just checked in on Frederick radar and my station reporting. Wow what a deluge of rain over there. My station is currently at 1.06”. Will check on it later for a final amount.

After having a pop up earlier today over here we have seemed to landed in a rain hole. Did just have that waterspout going into Cape May that prompted the warning. Glad we decided to take our trip to Cape May on Thursday as it looked to be going right into the Ferry terminal over there. Checking in at home though and getting some decent storms rolling through again. Station showing .67” with more to come. Will help the younger Ms. J not have to water my deck plants as much.

So we did Trap pond. Saw that we could do a tour through the Bald Head Cypresses. Mr. J is quite fair skinned and it worked good for shaded waterways. But also seeing the Cypress up here was lovely! Even saw a beaver up close.

Went back and got last years July total to compare to this July so far. July 2025 2.73” July TD 2026 7.76” I know that Frederick seems to be the rain magnet to some but it usually is the Northern part of the county that gets the big totals. The Southern part, especially the SW portion has hit the jackpot this summer though.

Yes I saw those clouds. That wind when the line blew in was blowing so much that you could not see very far out the windows. Mr. J had just gotten back with our dinner before it all hit. The place we are staying is right along 1D.

63 mph gust at the Lewes Mesonet. Initial winds blew in and it has subsided now. Still a lot of lightning and thunder. The line blew out and settled down a bit.

@87storms you what you said about me missing the lightning… ah it is insane here and the wind just blew in howling.

Well crap that escalated quick. Tornado Warning just to my West of the place we are staying.

Mr. J just went out to pick up our dinner. Opened the door and walked into a sauna. This is in Lewes DE by the way so the storms have not gotten here yet.

Just got the alert for a Flash Flood Warning for my area. Thankfully it looks like the rain is almost over.
