So far just heavy rain and lots of T&L. Minimal wind. I'm good with it.

Ordinary storm here dropping about .80 so far. What is not ordinary is the incredible change here this month with active storms and much higher rainfall.  I guess some is luck, but the pattern has shifted it seem. Also, machine learning from 15 days ago pointed out several threats which did happen.    

According to my rain gauge total July rainfall so far has been 6.80 inches.  Wow !

First month above avg since Feb. Just over 6"

Got hit by the split here ivo Vienna.  As the line approached it went N & S of us.  Just a few drops.  Not even enough of a trace to wet the driveway...  sigh.

Got another severe sprinkle.  A whopping tenth of an inch that almost wet the ground.  While 100 yards south got a 1/4".   Yet another fail.

Badlands profile pic man. Do it. Totally flipped it here.

I made that post earlier from the 2nd batch of rain this afternoon that went around us.  There was a 3rd batch a while ago that dropped .5" finally.  Better than nothing.

Another round of heavy rain coming down now

[AlexD1990]

Well, had a tornado warning with the couplet basically over my head. Just a lot of torrential rain, incredible lightning and a bit of wind.

Looks like more scattered stuff developing to the NW. Hearing continuous thunder.

1.82" for the day as of now

what the heck? I cant remember the last time a SVR got upgraded to a TOR

Central and Western PA were upgraded earlier this summer. At one point there were over six tornado warnings going in a severe thunderstorm watch.

Drove home from OC this evening and it was pretty fierce around Cambridge. Extremely heavy rain, lots of lightning and quite gusty.

Seems that the Riviera Beach/Pasadena area got hit hard again (same area as 10 days ago). Reports of a lot of trees and wires down. It looked like the power was out at my house for a few hours.
