GATECH Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Got rocked. If anyone sees my patio umbrella let me know, last seen flying east towards towards the Potomac river. Large 4” diameter branch from our sweet gum tree currently in the front yard, neighbors basement flooded, all from .82” of rain in about 15 minutes. Wind gust estimated probably over 60mph. Miraculously power remains. @H2O how did you fair, looked more intense over your way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 It's rockin' out here. I'd say the pattern has changed. We went from northern plains summer to Cambodia summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Cross posting here since it concerns some none severe weather Just now, SnowenOutThere said: An exciting couple of hours weather wise! Honestly, once the first round passed I assumed it was over until I heard some thunder in the distance. After looking at the radar I instantly rushed off to the Herndon metro parking garage as it has the best skyline I know of. Got there in time to watch the shelf cloud develop and then roll in. Before becoming part of the "# of people struck by lightning a year" statistic I made sure to get a picture of my trusty stead: The humble CRV. Afterwards, I decided to ride out the storm inside of the parking garage as driving home on FFX County parkway did not seem like a good time. Eventually, I decided to take a video of the storm coming in. Could hear the metal signs clanging throughout the empty garage. Was pretty freaky. Finally, as the storm passed I saw a double rainbow appear. I attempted to get a lightning rainbow picture to complete my collection but had no such luck; though I personally hold the mental image with me. Lo and behold, just as I was packing up, another rainbow appeared which was even more vibrant than the first! Finally, I headed on homeward where I was met with a tree in the road. Additional limbs came down on fences, and even my neighbors windshield. Now, this (if I was smart) is where I should've realized that we will have an awesome sunset due to the past convection and humid air combined with the advantageous June sun angle and thus rushed to some open space to capture what might be the sunset of the year. Sadly, I only realized it was occurring as it passed (I'm sure there is a lesson in this) and realized a 10 minute drive would reward me only with deepening twilight. So, I sat back and watched what I could from my driveway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
