[Major Harris]

[spjunkies]

This thing better not KO my satellite, I gotta watch RAW :(

[dfitzo53]

This is nuts. I haven't seen thunder and lightning like this in a while, not to mention the downpour.

[mad4comp]

Holy Crap....here in springfield i felt the thunder in my body, wow is it loud or what.

[SkinsHokieFan]

Yeah this is some crazy ish tonight

[Huly]

We had up to 72MPH wind gust. Well you know how we had the fire in Feb. They are still rebuilding the house and there is a port o potty outside. The wind blew it still standing up to the middle of the street and down the street to the main road. We were laughing till we cried seeing it in the middle of the road.

[rdsknbill]

baseball size hail up here in some areas. Thank God we didn't have to go through that again. The last time I had 40k worth of damage to my house :(

Hail is a car dealer's nightmare. There has been times when
we've gotten as many cars as possible inside, because of
a forecast for large hail.

I think that that last "micro burst" just HAMMERED a few of the dealerships up here.
My wife's van had about 7k in damage. They had to replace the whole roof
It was really bad

[Huly]

We had small hail so i am going to check both cars tonight for damage. It was dark after it stopped pouring in Ashburn.

[>>Spearhead>>]

yikes- hail in power outages in my area already

[Skins24]

Another heads up.
There's a strong line of storms headed this way. Looks like it's strong enough to hold together over the mountains so in a couple hours or so.........
