10 Minute Hurricane. Anyone Else?

Squaregrouper · Jun 18, 2018

Around 5:30pm an INSANE storm rolled through Pikesville. I would equate it to a 10 minute Cat 2 hurricane. Power is out and trees are down all over the place.
The good news is my generator runs my whole house w/o central AC.
The bad news is my generator won't run my central AC- even with all other breakers off. The generator's 30 amp breaker trips every time I try to start central AC.
It is currently 82f on my first floor. I don't want to go upstairs. I might be sleeping on the basement floor tonight.
My school teacher wife has ESP and went home to NJ this afternoon.
Oh well, things could be a lot worse. I should stop whining and post this in the first world problem thread.

I bought a portable AC unit 13 years ago when I lived in an apartment building, still have it. When we get storms, I fire up the generator and plug in the fridge and the portable AC unit. It only keeps one room cool, but it beats 82 degrees and God awful humid...

Hope you get power back ASAP!

In Alabama we call that the afternoon shower.

I wasn't around for the storm, but I did see the aftermath. Driving through parts of Sykesville with tons of tree debris all over the road. Forsythe Rd. was closed so I had to detour around.

I saw that storm approaching yesterday at 1630 hours on MyRadar... was on my motorcycle and thought for sure I was going to get caught in it. Thankfully the cell went just barely north of me. :ohnoes:

Hope you have power back today SG

We in Glenwood lost power @4:45 and was restored at 8PM.
Fired up the generator and turned on 2 window A/C units.
Life is cool.

Is SG now hanging with JosephIV? Has anyone gotten an update??

Don’t make us get out the Ouija board.

Line of storms split, and we never got a thing.

What is this rain of which you speak?

Big storm came by in Pasadena but no major issues at camp welder .

Power came back on around 4:00am. I just called off and started my anniversary short vacation a day early. Chainsaw o'clock after my cup of coffee.

The ghost is gone and the running car in the snow bank has been towed. They say I will still be without 3% of power for two weeks. Most 13'ers will have no idea what this paragraph is about.

EDIT- A small window AC unit will be purchased today.

Copy all.

Glad you are upright and taking nutrition under your own steam.

Clearly, suggestions of your potential demise are premature...

It hit Towson pretty hard as well. It's called a Pulse Thunderstorm.

I was watching storm on Radar as it looked like we were dead in it's path in Severn. Nice big red blotch between Westminster and Columbia, head southeast, yeap we're gonna get it. As it approached I95 it all but disappeared, then when it got to I97 it blew back up and covered Annapolis to Glen Burnie!! It was wild to watch and we didn't get squat!!!

My area showed up as purple on Doppler. Yesterday's storm was quick, but it had hurricane force winds for a few minutes.
I had a Black Walnut branch on my front porch. None of my neighbors have a Black Walnut tree.
The good news is the area is now devoid of liberal election signs.

Down near Annapolis we got torrential rains for about 10 minutes, but the winds weren't bad. My wife had just pulled into the parking lot when the rain started and just waited it out in the car.
