Ellinwood Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Downpour in Gaithersburg... lightning flashes every 1-2 seconds and a handful of bolts within 1/2 mile. No hail... winds aren't that strong (though I woke up just as the rain started and may have missed some.). Power just blinked off and on as I typed that last sentence, lol.
