Have a B-meet tonight in Burke. Expecting traffic to get there and the heat to equally suck.

Did this update kill Tapatalk support? Or is it just me.

The overnight survey was inconclusive and they are looking again today. Might be worth tweeting at the NWS if you think your 'hood has tornado damage. I tried to point them towards Waverly Hills/Cherrydale on Twitter.

Site looks nice. Good work @stormtracker Now... how do we increase our ranks? edit: would be nice to have a way to toggle off the post stats that sometimes show up on the right

I realize you said you don't understand it, but I'd love someone (smarter than me) to do a breakdown on this storm and how this came together. I was casually watching the radar, and it looked like no big deal till it was about five minutes from impact. This was even the third round of storms! Shocking.

Might drive over in a bit.

Passed right over.

Wowza. This one is verifying.

Think some spots east of the Beltway might get their third warning today, if I’m remembering right.

Some great examples of lightning well away from a storm right over DC right now. Hearing good thunder in Arlington, even.

bye bye B-meet

This is a poor afternoon to have a B-meet…

Meeting my (first!) forum member after all these years does make me want to have a meet-up soon… I’m not great at the organization aspect but I feel like it’s been a long time… would love to put a face to your names (beyond some of your Twitter profiles).

Got to meet the lovely@SnowenOutThere this morning at our CSL swim meet… he’s quite fast! Probably the most exciting meet of the year... Won the last relay, which at the time we thought was good for a two point win. Cue a massive celebration. Sadly, (not for Snowen) we ended up tying (after thinking we had won for 30 minutes, unfortunately) because they forgot to count one of our DQs and didn’t catch it until they verified the scores at the end. Heartbreaking, but still a great meet, though some of the kids are gonna be disappointed come Monday, lol.

Think of the cold swimmers (and coaches) practicing in the morning!

Here we do, but a Charlottesville radar would be excellent. Even just a terminal radar at CHO would work wonders.

Check your DMs. Might be able to meet you soon, lol.

I didn't realize all of you were such dedicated swimmers/swim parents. Without diving too deep into identifying factors (though I've linked ya'll to posts with my name, lol), I was a long-time competitive swimmer both in the summer and winter. Since then I've been coaching for the last three years... hope you parents like your teams' coaches! We try our best to keep things moving and make sure the kids can actually make it across the pool, I swear. We also deeply appreciate all the volunteers... the less pool set up we do the better. Did the 4:00am wake-up call grind throughout high school as well... national-level swimming is a real chore for parents and swimmers alike (until we learn to drive!). If you are all familiar with the local girl who is heading to the Olympics, I swam with her for quite a bit.

Gross weather this morning. Stepped outside at 6:40 and it was already oppressive. Feels like a storm day for sure.

I dunno… the knee pain is already setting in.

You guys obviously aren’t hopping in the pool everyday. Mid 80s at least, please.

They seem to be pretty gone in Northern Arlington. Not nearly as many cicadas sacrificing themselves by landing in the pool. Might've missed my chance to eat a cicada taco... oh well.
