OT: How about those storms yesterday?

all I can say is WOW! My boss lives up in Chambersburg and he showed me pictures of the hail around his house yesterday. The hail was SHOVELABLE at his place. I thought I had it bad here in Hagerstown but man.....I really thought my house was going to come down. I kept running for the door just in case I needed a quick getaway LOL

Aaron,

I'm glad that they are over, and you and your house are still O-tay!!

Unless it stormed after I went to sleep last night, they skipped right over my little neck of the woods. A co-worker who lives about 15 min. from work said she brought the storm with her, but it skipped right over us. It is MD, after all...

When I first moved to MD, my ex told me that if I didn't like the weather, wait a minute or walk across the street and it would change. Turned out to be about the only thing he was right about, lol

Happy Monday, one and all!.

That is very true! That storm yesterday happened at my place around 3 - 4 pm. It cleared up about as quickly as it came. I actually don't mind storms but when my house starts to creak and crack, I get worried. We had 60 MPH winds and I would say penny sized hail. I could have sworn a tornado was close by. Depending on the direction of the weather, I would probably get hit first before everyone else on the board. However the storm cell was so small that it went directly north of Frederick. Probably just stayed along the PA border. I figure the carroll county folks got it up in Westminster.

Was there a storm??  I either slept through it or it bypassed me totally.

LOL yeah.....I think it went north of you. I was talking to my co-workers today who live in Frederick and they said that they just only got a few drops of rain and a wind gust and that was about it. I haven't been through a storm like that in a LONG time. I think the last time, I was 8 years old and my mom and sister and I was sitting around the dining room table watching the chandelier sway from side to side. We lived in a trailer on top of a hill and boy were we scared. Mom started reading verses out of the bible LOL

OMG, what an experience yesterday was.  I was eating dinner at the Nauti-Goose in Northeast MD and the clouds became almost black in color.  I stopped at a Royal Farms on the way home and by the time I got out of the store, it was a torential downpour.  Couldn't see ahead of me.  Anyway, five minutes later, heading towards home in Elkton, the sun was out and not a drop of rain on the ground.  Five minutes after getting home, the storm that we were just leaving hit Elkton.  It was unbelieveable.  But, from what I've heard, that is quite normal down here.  I actually thought it was hillarious.  Here I am, thinking I drove THROUGH the storm only to realize it was actually following me.  Oh well, at least I got home in time to shut the windows.

Wow Andy that's funny! but you're right....it just seems like it all comes in a very small cloud and you can run around it and never get hit by rain but under that cloud it seems like the gates of hell open up LOL

Hey Aaron:

The sky turned dark and there were a few claps of thunder and some rain, but the bad part must have passed us.  We have had some bad ones with hail in the past month, but this one luckily skipped us!!!

Glad to see that you made it through!

yeah it's very strange.....I haven't seen a hail storm since I was in high school in WV. And then we ended up getting hail about a foot and a half deep. It was crazy.

We had hellacious storms down here yesterday evening.  We were under a tornado watch until 7:30, and fortunately, didn't have anything touch down in my neighborhood.  Lots of strong wind and lots of rain, though.

And, Aaron, I have tons of relatives up in Chambersburg.  I love that place.  That is my next place to move in case I ever do decide to relocate from here.
