I think I’ve seen enough to say that this was the biggest storm to hit my immediate neighborhood in decades (better than the derecho).  Two houses with direct hits, one down the street from me and one a block over.  Branches down and leaf parts sticking to everything.  I bet we went 70+.

Wow

I got some leftovers from dying storms. A little over a tenth. Missed most of the action just to the east on Monday. A quarter inch total the last couple days. Not hurting for rain here though. Would be nice to get a good thunderstorm. The inch+ from that coastal low this past weekend was boring.

Two things that really strike me other than the obvious.  Leaf parts pasted to cars/garage doors/etc.  And even low things in my garden are blown over.

The good part is that this was localized enough that cleanup is already going quick.  Power was only out for 4 hours here and the tree companies are blanketing the neighborhood.

I do feel for my neighbors about 5 houses away who had their AC unit smashed.  The upcoming 105-110 HI is going to be rough.  They may just bail out of town, though.

Extremely localized microburst?

Losing AC in high heat indexes is brutal. If I were them, I'd head out, as well.

Not sure this is near you, but got these from a friend in the Falls Hill area.

Looks like MN and NorthArl might have two pictures of the same house from different angles.

Really crazy stuff.

Sadly those are different houses.  The one through the window is particularly scary.

 

Temperatures are interesting today.  It has been really dry in west central VA, and sure enough it is 97 at CHO and Culpeper.  95 BWI, 94 IAD, and 91 in the new icebox at DCA.

Both of those look like a catastrophic loss. Possibly condemned type of loss

Now IAD has hit 98F so far.

That’s crazy…incredibly similar damage. That microburst was really something else.
