It looked like the War of the Worlds from my balcony. Got some vid of some of the lightning. The humidity earlier felt tropical, so I’m not surprised the sky opened up like it did.
Two distinct storms today in Frederick (not including the one around 4am) and both were the real real. Prolific lightning in both storms with top shelf precip and healthy wind with the 2nd round. Getting some clearing now.
Well I thought it weakened, but just got pulsed by serious downpours and a gust that briefly knocked out power. Places getting cored by this storm are gonna love it.
