On my ride to the gym this morning there were large 2-3ft tulip trees down all over on the road about a mile from my house.  Must've been some serious localized winds.  They were blocking driveways and side streets everywhere.  Free firewood for somebody...

Your a firewood guy. Would you really burn that stuff? Not me.

Sure it's lower on the BTU content vs hickory or oak, but it's light and splits easy and burns well.  I wouldn't purposely pay for it but around here tulip trees grow faster than lawn and there's always somebody trying to offload logs from a tree they had to remove (or that a storm knocked down). So for free I'll definitely take it.

All very true. Don't like it, but always seem to have some on the stacks. Also, produces a lot of light and fluffy ash which I find annoying.

It feel a lot better today than yesterday. Not as good if you are expecting severe storms and flooding imo. This feel like an average summer day. 

Believe I saw a tornado warning in WV. Storms are firing up in that area.

My reverse psychology worked!! It feels pretty tropical out here now. Earlier it didn't feel to bad out. Hopefully we get an interesting evening again today. I'm off due to weather delays on the projects we're working on. I'm headed off on a hike. I kinda hope i get stuck in a storm deep in the woods lol.

Prolific lightning down this way. Torrential rain is taking a back seat to the epic cg stuff. Best light show I've seen in years. Wow. Training cell is warned but little of any wind or hail. Wouldn't want to be walking around in this one. Nowhere to run or hide lol

This looks like what the HRRR had earlier. I watched this storm complex build from one lone cloud. It's engulfing the lowlands as I type. Super heavy tropical rain and increasing lightning. 

Someone beneath that cell in the Bowie-Crofton area has to be pushing 4”+ of rain?
