Local office of the NWS put this video together I pretty much agree with it though I would maybe arrange it a bit different.....and some events were more localized than others....so what were your top 5 or 10 or 3 weather events in the 10's .....
Top 5 IMO for MBY in no particular order
#1 Hurricane Irene had more direct impact on me than any other event.
#2 Jan 1-6th cold snap.....6-8"of snow then spent 5 straight days below freezing with most of that below 20, saw subzero weather for only the second time in my life here, we spent more time in the single digits in those 3-4 days than we had in the previous 10-20 yrs.
#3 Hurricane Matthew flooding kept me out of work for a week.....knew several people that lost everything
#4 Apr 16th 2011...….luckily not directly impacted but man what a day
#5 July 1 2012 Derecho...lots of trees down, probably the sickest instability values I have ever seen here....Grimesland a little town down the road legit looked like a tornado hit, and the airport in Washington was were my coworker kept his plane, it was destroyed, its the one in the video.....altimeter pin hit in the 50's meaning his plane took off and got probably 40-60 ft in the air before crashing.
below video's are at my house,
