Oh snap…looks like I’m about to get a storm.

Damn. Just had a REALLY close and loud lightning strike. Going to have to go outside and check soon. Lost power briefly. Hearing sirens.

Heard the thunder all the way up here. New storm popping just to my south but I think it’ll skirt just to my east.

That was a pretty impressive little storm. 0.71” on the nearby PWS, 1.3” on my plastic rain gauge. Loud thunder, gusty winds.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember it being like this most of the summer when I was a late 80's early 90's kid. It's nasty

Typical summer days in the 70s and early 80s had so much haze you couldn't even see the sun; the sky was a milky white. When thunderstorms were approaching, you couldn't see the clouds either, the haze just gradually darkened. August of 1988 was the first time I can remember the DC area having blue sky and cumulus clouds on a hot, muggy day. Topper Shutt on Channel 9 even mentioned how unusual it was, said it reminded him of the Caribbean.
