Thanks for sharing your observations! Good luck getting power back!
Welcome. Who knows when that will be. All it took was the second gust and boom, power went out. Lots of power outages across the state. VA Power map shows 234,380. I am with PGE coop, they do not have a map, so I have no idea when it will come back on. i'll turn on the generator when it settles down. Schools in the area are closed tomorrow because of storm damage and with it being Friday, probably will not be in that big of a hurry.
EDIT: VA Power updates every 15 minutes and is now up to 245,704. That went up quite fast!

Lots of heavy rain, about 3.5", and winds have howling. Sustained around 30 mph with gusts anywhere between 45 and 58 mph. I am 25 miles south of Richmond. Lost power at 8:15 pm. Michael is putting on a show here. Too bad it had to happen at night.

Flash Flood Emergency for most of the area covering the training band, including Jacksonville. Pretty strong wording
* At 1029 PM EDT, emergency management reported extremely heavy rain
across the warned area associated with a nearly stationary rain
band from Tropical Storm Florence. Since yesterday 10 to 18 inches
have fallen across the area. Life threatening flash flooding is
occurring with numerous impassable due to high water. It is
imperative that residents remain off the roads, and only venture
outside if there is a threat to your well being. Additional
rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches are possible tonight across the
warned area.This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for portions of Jones, Lenoir,
Onslow, and Duplin counties. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS
SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!Been a lot of flash flood emergency statements going out for this part of eastern NC for all this later afternoon / evening hours. That heavy band of rain set up in the one of the worst areas of ENC and has pounded that area for so many hours! Just devastation!!

150 people need rescue according to this New Bern twitter account. Also reported by Fox News.

From NWS Wakefield:
Latest Bufkit soundings depict curved hodographs profiles with strong SSE low level flow (50-55kt @ 950mb) and strong SSW flow aloft. The limiting factor will be minimal sfc-based instability with the timing during the nighttime hours Sun night (early Mon am)...and a relatively substantial stable layer across far eastern VA and the Eastern Shore. Again, greatest threat will be strong gusty winds getting mixed down within convective cells along with potential for brief, heavy rainfall. Must also be noted that 0-1km shear profile is actually quite impressive, quickly increasing to 30-40kt after 00z/MON. Therefore, we still cannot rule out the potential for a couple of rotating storms capable of producing brief spin-up tornadoes, with greatest concern along and SE of I-64 across central and eastern VA (including RIC metro/Tri-Cities area).

Heavy snow here in Prince George. Started around 1pm or so, but it took a couple of hours to begin to stick. The yard is almost covered with temperature at 33. Roads are only wet and I live in a rural area. I think it is just a matter of time before the roads cave as we move into the evening hours.

240% climo and it gets an A-. I would say that is as A+!!!
I know I am extremely happy with snow in PG, VA this year!! It has exceeded my expectations!! To have 3 nice events, one being 8" by Jan. 17th, I will take any given year, and try not to complain the next year!

About 2" give or take on the ground near town center of VB. No precip currently but as the snow hole over the area is filling in I believe we'll be able to get another inch, or maybe 2" on the high end.
This event will likely push the total for the season over a foot for ORF...or about 240% of climo. I give this winter an A-
240% climo and it gets an A-. I would say that is as A+!!!

How much did you get from this event?
Got right at 4". It has snowed from 7:30ish this morning till now, but the tiniest flakes ever. We had a lot of moderate snow, but just took forever to accumulate even at 28*.
-
I am happy with snowfall today. Puts me at 17" for the season, well above average with still half the season to go. Hopefully we can continue this into the second half! But, looks like we have a bit of warm to deal with first.

Blizzard conditions in Va Beach with winds gusting into 40s, I drove around for an hour and there is a noticeable uptick in snow as you pass Rosemont. Probably getting close to 4".

My bad. I thought I read that you moved from Cali to Va. I figured it was east though with your winds finally ramping up. Here, it was just rain and I was seeing reports very near by with high wind gust, but nothing at my location. But a few minutes later it was like a switch was flipped and the winds started roaring and my power went out immediately. Going to wait and turn the generator on when I get up around 6:30, pretty sure there still will be no power. It's already late, so I figure why bother. Frig will last till then.
