Mrs.J Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Mrs. J., we are finally going to get one here in the Ballenger Creek area! Yes we are! Going to get rocked, just took video to upload of it coming in. Lightning is insane! Will post as soon as it uploads if I don't loose power.

Will post as soon as it uploads if I don't loose power. Looks like from the bridge in your photo you are just south of me on the Pike. I am in Wellington Trace. If my cat is any forecaster of weather, this is a bad one coming in. He has seeked shelter in the basement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ok here is the video. Taken about 15 min. ago. Still on the fringe of the storm, seems to be taking a long time to get here. Still have a light show going on though. Ok cannot get it to embed... http://s178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/mdjoneses/Storm%20shots/?action=view¤t=100_0034.mp4 To top it off the moon is rising and it is orange with clouds scattered across it. Absolutely surreal with all the lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm liking the So. MoCo cell.. Lightning starting to shoot out and tops are near 40 kft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The Frederick wall is holding up. Wicked lightning but not a drop. Seems the big rains can't make it over the Catoctins. I'm thinking some light rains breaks out here eventually with maybe 5 min of moderate rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Just saw lightning fly out of a storm to the East, have never seen that before, seemed to traved 10 miles across the sky. Thunder was almost non-existant yet it seemed so close. Also frequent lightning to the NW seems to be increasing lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yeah, getting some decent thunder and lightning here. I'm just NW of it. With Gr2AE it has very heavy cores of very efficient rain making process. Expect some high 1hr rates. P.S. It's not going to move. VWP off of BWI TDWR = storm motion of near zero.

BethesdaWX Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Thunder very loud and plentiful here. Thunder is hard to hear once 5-10 miles away. Take a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't start to die out might get a warning for flooding here soon. Also @Bethesda - I know that but still - it's super loud here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The loudon county cell had some 33kt+ base velocity readings on Grlevel3, new macrobursts seems to have impacted the surface N/NNW of Leesburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamerakitten Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 We got nailed here in Sharpsburg around 7:15. That big red blob storm came right over us. INSANE CTG lightening...the thunder shook the house. Not a lot of wind-we got 1.8 inches of rain in about 30 minutes--it's still raining moderately with intermittant thunder and lightning.

Avdave Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hang in there. If you are in Leesburg, I still like your chances. Getting some light rains, some dampness on the sidewalks, but lightning has been impressive to my NW, a few rumbles of thunder now We are getting the last tiny batch of storms just to the west of Leesburg, if it wasnt for that heading this way, this would have been laughable for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Switched to laptop as we got a surge in power. While starting up saw a bolt of CG hit the field across from me. Loud crack had to have hit something. No rain yet but lightning is crazy along with the thunder. Ok spoke to soon pouring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
