Wouldn’t surprise me if the nats game catches a delay Yeah I didn’t see that rapid development coming. Looks like they maybe can resume around 930-945 though perhaps.

Enjoying it with a brew on my new covered front porch! Covered porches are the best - have one too. Sat in the garage with my dad watching storms as a kid. The best times!

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It would be hard to overstate the amount of lightning I’m seeing to my south from takoma park. Saw some incredible gigantic Zeus bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This has brought the house down (figuratively) in a way that only happens a couple times a year usually.. Not only the close in strikes, which are always juiced by the transmission towers around here, but also the continual background roar of the thunder. I guess the big close in strikes are the melody and the continuous rumble in the distance is the harmony. But I’m not musical so that metaphor probably sucks. It’s a keeper regardless.
