Im okay. Saw 2 power flashes as i was standing outside. I could see the wall of rain coming in even in darkness, hearing a roar at the same time in the distance. Started raining and went inside, was a fun 5 mins. no damage MBY, and it looks like its just straight line winds on radar.

Snow in Hanover, but the back end is close. Just another reminder how this winter was a disappointment with snow.

C'mon man...just enjoy the little stuff too. Winter really got to ya, didn't it? (Now with the missed blizzard I definitely understand the Eeyoring for that, lol Took me a day and a half to shake the bad mood from that one!)

Could this have been the June 4, 2008 event?

Might very well have been, it was a long time ago but in that timeframe.

@CAPEtornado warning near you

Lost power. Was pretty drunk and went to bed. The wind was crazy with lots of branches falling. I'll assess(later) in the morning. Back to bed.

Magnolia Felton Delaware 13 & Irish hill rd no power  trees down, power  crews out.

1020 p.m. tornado warnings, where in the basement. Wife and daughter heard the wind and I told them that what a tornado sounds like. I don't know if one hit, but scared the shit out of me. 

There cutting trees on all the back roads.  Power trucks all over. Will see what it looks at day break when I go home from work.

Don’t know exactly what wind gusts IMBY were but I wouldn’t doubt severe verifying level. Not sure I ever heard a thunder clap or saw lightning yesterday despite 2 STWs. Heard sleet on the window around 11-1130.
