That's what's been killing us the last couple weeks in Florida. It's always hot this time of the year, but the humidity has been bonkers. The air actually feels thick.

3.7" but wind gusts were nonexistent here, sounds like all the damage and power outages are primarily north and west of DC. 2" from main storm and then the rest from bands that formed overnight. Lawn is not complaining and neither is the rabbit that has stuck around since spring. This lazy bun that doesn't bother to hide in a bush half the time

We have no power at the house, and no idea when it might be back up.

Maybe you missed where he said it was in Maryland. They are idiots.

I grew up near there and don’t particularly remember anything of note out there. I imagine it’s more of a shithole now, too, along with all the other suburbs that were nearby. I guess it’s where Bethesda studios is now, though.

When Michael Stipe said "Don't go back to Rockville", he meant it.

I work for an electric utility, this picture is at least 1 mil worth of work I’d guess.

This pic was taken on the 8th. Northeastern Colorado town had some of these falling from the sky.

Common in that area of the country. Every now and again a city will pony up the money to bury lines on a few streets, but more often than not it’s all above ground shit

That cant be real right? I can't imagine a sky of shit like that falling. Property damage and injuries from anyone caught outside would have to be crazy. Is that even hail at that point?

It was 111 and humid here today, then a big ass storm rolled through. Power went out a few times then Thor turned it up to 11 and we got pounded by crazy lightning for a good hour. Power was out for an hour or two, but when it came back on my house and 1 other had nothing.
I called them and they got here really fast and had it fixed in 30 min or so.

California is about to get super fucked with flooding.
I didn't realize how infrequent they are, but apparently there have only been two tropical storms to hit Southern California in the last century. And both were fizzled to almost nothing. This one is going to hit Baja as a category 4 or 5, and might actually still be quite strong by the time it works its way up to California.
For areas that only get a few inches of rainfall all year, getting it in one day is going to be crazy. Like I know normal 0.1" rainfalls in the desert and our roads would all flood. They're forecast to get 4-8 inches.
