Looks like a many-weeks-long period of extreme cloudiness (with not much rain) has finally cleared out. Could it have been some sort of record? Kinda like living in Ohio near the Lake.

June 30 Derecho

Posted by: jmrp46, 12:53 PM GMT on July 02, 2012

Late evening June 30 a very violent storm ("derecho") passed through Virginia. Local effects were relatively minor--16 hour electrical outage, roads blocked overnight by fallen trees, some very large trees uprooted, others snapped in half. At the arrival of this storm the wind blew very forcefully for some minutes, seemingly without gusting. After that arrival event, the storm changed to a quality similar to a routine thunderstorm.
