wow. We had them here in MD a few weeks ago. Nasty stuff. I lost a 50 foot cedar, Bradford pears were down everywhere and some of the 'burbs of DC, mostly Montgomery County I think, were without power for over a week. In 100+ degree temps.

A good reason to take the afternoon off work :)

Looks like that storm is going to pound the town I work in, but track just below where I live.

Good luck to all in harm's way.

Nanna,that's about all I can do at this point. I am 5 hours from the site, and am worried the roof may blow off. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now...

Best to everyone in this things way.

Was just outside cleaning stuff up. This looks really bad. Wind is already bonkers. I expect to lose power within half an hour.

Good luck guys. As Jack said, we had this the Friday before the 4th and it was wild. It seemed like the death eaters from Harry Potter had arrived...
It traveled 600 miles in 10 hours and was honestly the wildest storm I've ever been in and includes several hurricanes in the Virginia/Maryland area and both the remnants of Camille (1969) and Agnes (1972) in western Pennsylvania.

Edited to add:

Jack! Check out weather.com - it's headed our way! AGAIN!

But the O's won today and Ravens camp opened up for veterans so all is right with the world!

@Mari - Lived in Owings Mills before moving to NJ...Love the Ravens!!

Drove by their new camp as they built it years ago and constantly saw Heap, Lewis etc at Outback or Batemans.

Mari - I've been keeping one eye on New Haven, CT where the job is and one eye on local. Can't believe this is happening again. I had never even heard of a Derecho until after ours.

I gave up on the O's years (wow, maybe decades) ago. The Ravens though, love 'em. We put the roof on the Outback at Owings Mills. Had I known it was frequented by Baltimore football new(so as not to be confused with the likes of Johnny U, Tom Matte or Artie Donovan)royalty I might have swung by there once in awhile. That's about an hour and half away from the homestead.

Glad to hear that you made out ok, Ulsterirish. When it hit us (before the 4th of July) I never heard the tree go down, but after that the winds might have lasted another 5 minutes, if that. Those suckers move!

I drove through the one before the 4th. It was raining trees for an hour on the freeway.

Not water -- tree pieces. Not one drop of water hit the windshield.

OK...thanks. I had relatives from Ulster, Penn is why I ask. It is a such a small town; I would have been amazed to find out you were from there.

Glad you made it through Ulster. We were out of power for about 18 hours after the storm on the 29th, but others were out for a week and it was HOT!

Holy Hell...We're getting hit pretty hard again right now...Pouring buckets and crazy lightning..No wind this time tho. In the recent past my street only flooded during hurricane Irene but it's under about 2.5 inches now. Lots of water.

Weatherstation just clocked a rainrate of 4.20/in per hour.
