Scroll down to find counties in Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia included in the watch. I just received another advisory about a severe thunderstorm with winds up to 50 mph but that only includes Shenandoah and a couple of counties in West Virginia west of here.

Yeah but it was great to out there planting my swap plants...no bugs - no heat...free shower...my fav time to plant...LOL

OMG - you were OUT in that??? I had to get something from the car earlier, I about melted!

Did anyone down there get hit with any of that??

Only saw one house fly by lol

We got a lot of rain, some wind but nothing unusual beyond the normal pre-thunderstorm wind, no thunder and lightning though. No tornados.

I wish had gotten more than a couple rain drops

agh, we had rain two days this week but the tree kept it off the newly (re)planted clustered bellflower . they were back to all wilted tonight!! the poor things. They had recovered so nicely in the bucket before I planted them on Friday.
