ESCAPE FROM NorthWest! by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 12:09:03 PM EST
I dunno if he can buff out enough for the third in the series..

Yeah, folks called yesterday saying power was on/off throughout. All the fun stuff passed too far North of us, we didn't even get a sprinkle :/ Garden could use it.



Big storms. by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #2 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 12:12:45 PM EST
I'll always remember running out into a storm that was raining so hard it felt like I was stepping out into the bottom of a swimming pool. The 5 days of no power were no help, either.

Has anybody seen my clue? I know I had it when I came in here.


What's the deal with midweek renting in OC? by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #3 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 12:20:33 PM EST
Any idea if there are places that do a few days midweek? We're tentatively scheduling an end of July beginning of August trip to Loudoun.




No idea by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #4 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 12:28:30 PM EST
I don't know if any places do less than a week.

Your best bet might be a hotel in Salisbury MD, or other place on Rt 113 in Delaware. Somewhere in or south of Georgetown.

horizontall rain by duxup (2.00 / 0) #5 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 12:35:55 PM EST
Sounds a bit like a microburst.  I went thru one once.  I was able to watch it from a distance (like a big column of doom approaching) before it hit us.

This was a straight line wind by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #7 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 12:55:36 PM EST
The wind intrinsic to the storm, plus the 60MPH (!) ground speed of the storm.

Dust by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #10 Thu Jun 05, 2008 at 02:35:48 PM EST
Lots of dust.

I lived in S Utah for several years. Dry, dusty, wind always blows. Was glad to get out of there.

I walked and drove through the exact floodwaters shown in the videos below last week.

Sorry, my mistake, that was just the BBC with some space to fill.
