@wxmeddleri asked but she didn’t know for sure.  And wasn’t willing to go outside to check lol.  Said it was so loud in the store she couldn’t hear people talking to her.

Edit- and now she just texted to say power just went out.  I’m 8 miles away I see sunny skies after 0.40” earlier.

i was there (and left) about 15 minutes before it started. no thanks on the ping pong ball sized hail.

just thunder and lightning here in Charles Town.

Getting heavy rain and wind now....

wish NWS would get their automated system to stop issuing warnings for Brunswick, Oregon.....

Looks like it is about to get spicy here. Mr. J is on his way home looks like he will make it in just in time.

This storm has some violent lightning associated with it.

Do not like that. That storm back in July that had the violent lightning with it is what fried our garage door opener. We have a whole house surge protector on our panel but we think because my daughter was opening the door when the lightning was crazy is what did it.

Torrential rain with wind continues.  
.56 so far.

This is fewer and farther between so far. That one storm was crazy. Starting to rain here now.

Just light rain now....almost .75 for the storm.  Windiest storm here this year so far.

Glad you made it home safely.  Seeing photos on social media of streets all around that end of town that are under water.

Storm just hit. Rain and the lights keep flickering.

Gotta be over 0.5” here. Another drencher.

Storms in Frederick, nothing around DC.  We’re back, baby!

Storm has pushed through. Double rainbow and a beautiful cooler 68 out. Still a lot of thunder and lightning to my East. Picked up .51”.

First storm collapsed from north to south on my doorstep to miss me, the next collapsed from south to north to avoid me.
