Lake Accotink, Heavy Squall Line
Short version: It was intense !
Long version: Our afternoon weather radar showed a cold front coming in from the West and I thought it might produce some interesting weather. It did. Here's what Wiki has to say about squall lines:
"A squall line or quasi-linear convective system is a line of thunderstorms forming along or ahead of a cold front. In the early 20th century, the term was used as a synonym for cold front. It contains heavy precipitation, hail, frequent lightning, strong straight-line winds, and possibly tornadoes and waterspouts."
I didn't see a waterspout but I did learn that my trusty little X-E2 is quite watertight. : ))
