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.
-
I hope so. We’re due.
-
Been there…the script was flipped a couple years ago. Hopefully we all get a tropical remnant system at some point.
-
This is your first thunderstorm??
-
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.

This next storm is bonkers. Premier event here.
-
Just had a neighborhood strike. Absolutely incredible lighting display around here with these storms. Top 10 for me.
-
Part 2 incoming
-
Oh wow, you’re missing a fireworks display. This is one of the finest lightening shows I’ve seen. Looking south it’s cg after cg.
-
Just saw an awesome lightning strike looking south. That storm is all business.
-
Rainfall rates are legit. Someone might get 2”+ imo
-
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.
-
Storm weakened a bit on the northern side, but still getting a good shower. Looks like Ballenger Creek area is gonna get rocked.
-
One of the more humid days I’ve experienced here.
-
Deep thunder in the distance. Had to cut my hoops sesh short bc quite frankly I don’t like the idea of the smoke hiding the lightning. The grass here is mostly green…kinda wild seeing others to the east struggling to get precip.
-
Thundered for “what seemed” like an hour straight here around 4am. I did not expect that.
-
We need a storm tomorrow as badly as the Wizards need a 50-win season.
-
The June 2012 derecho would hit the spot rn.
-
It’s legit rn
-
I reluctantly went biking earlier for the first time in 3 weeks and actually didn’t find it too bad. But I just stepped outside and can absolutely smell it. It’s like a chlorine/smoke cross. This continent needs rain.
-
Northwesterly flows haven’t done this area many favors over the years. Need to get a prolonged flow out of the gulf to fix this mess.
-
The smokiness seems to have ramped up in the last hour or so. Can barely see the Sugarloaf range and the Catoctin’s look “foggy”.
-
Now this is the classic swampy mid Atlantic summer of old.
-
Never lol, though there were a few more hazy days in the summer. Not sure I buy the improved pollution thing too much. There seems to be less of a vibrant blue sky than when I grew up, though my eyesight is not a strength of mine and there could be other reasons for it (more air traffic, cloud seeding, whatever).

This wildfire smoke thing was not a thing like this in the 80s and 90s, that I recall. In other news, the humidity right now is quite impressive.
