Pouring rain here for the third day in a row.

1.35” from the storm last night.

It’s been dumping rain here the past 20 mins.

Looks like our house down there dodged a bullet (this time, at least!) For some reason none of the Cocorahs stations in PF reported today. I usually watch those to keep track, but central Calvert is a data void today. Maybe none of them have power to post- our realtor is in PF and she said she’s been without power since yesterday. The D3 drought over PF probably saved us too, ironically…

Hope it comes back soon. This does remind me of the 2012 derecho in that it doesn’t feel like the power companies region-wide were adequately prepared for this. Could be the holiday or just complacency from lack of high-impact weather lately. I do remember back then everyone was so angry and then it did lead to better prep for Sandy later that year.

How much would you say you’ve gotten from everything combined there? Kinda worried now as our house for sale in PF has the power still out, which means the sump pump isn’t working. Our agent is checking on it tomorrow but I’m kind of expecting the worst now (i.e. flooded basement). What a day this has been. Lol

0.98" and a double rainbow

This storm is nuts.

Haven’t seen any hail but the wind portion of the severe is certainly verifying. Very heavy rains and lots of lightning.

Starting to storm here, light rain and thunder.

Power’s back on finally. We were all hanging out in the basement. First floor was 85 degrees and upstairs 87 lol

Good thing I wasn’t celebrating 4th of July this year anyway lol I think we may have to spend the evening in our car. We had just filled the fridge with groceries yesterday too.

No it’s still out and Potomac Edison’s automated line says it will be out until 3:30.

Power just went out here

Watching the yard burn up in real time. I may wanna hit up @EastCoast NPZ for recommendations on some good cacti to plant around here
