Drove home from Round Hill VA through that line. On back roads with too many trees. Crossed over into MD and there was a lot of flooding running across 340 just East of Jefferson. The road I take to my house was dicey to say the least. Weather station at my house is 1.60”. Not a lot of lightning over in VA but MD was lit up when I crossed the 340 bridge. 

Now my husband is going to attempt to get home on 270.

Not sure why the delay in adding Baltimore area from the watch posted at 2:39 am, but Baltimore area now in the flood watch:

I was in a race against that thunderstorm to the Germantown MARC station (6:05 PM).  We got there just 4-5 minutes before it unleashed.  It was DARK as we rolled in and people tensed up and reached for their helpless umbrellas thinking we were going to get hosed bad.  Thanks to good ol' Radarscope, I knew we were good. :D

It hit HARD as I was driving home.  Had one CTG strike hit just a few hundred feet from the house just as I walked in.  It was cool seeing on that Real Time Lightning website right where it hit, two streets over.

Picked up 0.7 and have 7.5 for September.  My foot slid and made a big divot just walking in the back yard to the rain gauge. :wacko:
