Here you go neighbor... posted this in the Discobs thread too. Intense. 2026 09 03 - Inbound Electrified Storm.MOV

One of the more electrified storms in our area for a while... 2026 09 03 - Inbound Electrified Storm.MOV

We got a good hit this time - unlike several other misses recently where the split was in true form. Managed to get 0.97" from the 20+ min deluge. Needed it with the heat inbound the next few days. The ground was rock hard again.

Lucked out here with this one .84" Most we've had in this immediate area for a while...

Odd - hearing a regular bout of thunder rumble from the inbound system approaching NOVA. But the Lightening app shows only a few hits out by Winchester and more to the SW. Wonder if there isn't a bug in the app and/or some sensors that are down?

Yup - it was almost constant for a few minutes, but we got split yet again. Received a whopping .22" from this one.

A quick .52" already here and it's still pouring... Slow moving cells.

Got a good dose with the last round. 1.39" so far for the day. That's the most in what seems like forever...

Congrats. You got the brunt of the heaviest slug (very high-tech weather terms there). We got the fringe here ivo Vienna - .21" so far.

Beat me by 0.12" Not even a trace here... again...

Got hit by the split here ivo Vienna. As the line approached it went N & S of us. Just a few drops. Not even enough of a trace to wet the driveway... sigh.

Took our trash out about an hour ago. Our driveway is very long so I use a helmet flashlight to light the way. Could see the smoke and other suspended particulates drifting in the air. Looked like the mist of a dense fog, but with smell.

Received a whopping .06" from all the activity yesterday, followed by another .07" today. T&L all around but only a few occasional drops here. Congrats to all of those who are cashing in on the totals...

101/72/111.5 Not bad. This brings back memories of 3 years in India in the early 90s (when I was skinny and could dissipate heat better!). We had weeks of 113-118F temps with sultry humidity, which put the HI off the normal charts here in the US. Made us wonder why in the migration of homo sapiens did they ever stop there and not keep moving to a more tolerable climate.
