FINALLY getting some rain out here near Gainesville.  First time it has been more than a few token drops all weekend.  Got 1 in and it is still falling hard.

[high risk]

At a time when most storms are ramping down, the cell near Manassas exploded, seemingly aided by a cell merger.  Major downburst signal.

[HokieEnginerd]

I am right under the western side of that cell.  We have gotten about 2 in in under and hour and it is still coming down.

[pazzo83]

Just west of there, but yeah.  Hit 3 inches a few minutes ago and have had house shaking thunder for the better part of an hour.  I haven't seen anything like this in a LONG time.

Apparently there are water rescue calls starting to appear in Manassas.
