Still out. Least on the outage map it now says, 'crew dispatched', lol. About 14-15 hours now.

On the 'waiting list' to get power back. Only had a 37 mph gust here, but just down the hill near the river several trees down into power lines and those down to the ground. Been out 4 hours, thankful for the generator.

JUST finished the powerwashing and sitting down to eat a sandwich, looks like I'll be inside watching the storms go by for a while now.

Blacksburg playing the Sterling game, issuing large STW's for multiple counties for the incoming line.

We had a storm roll thru between 4:30 and 5 pm, about 1/3" of rain and some small hail, and a 27 mph gust. LOTS of thunder and lightning though.

Yep, a completely different world up there. Glad you had a great trip, as someone else said, just gotta keep a watch out for the 'sliders' on the ground and whatnot.

About a tenth overnight, about that much since the 7 am report. MUGGY, MUGGY, MUGGY! 71.2/70.0 currently with light rain at 9:30 am.

My numbers for the month of July 2026. Averaged high temp was 83.7 degrees vs a normal of 83.9 degrees, -0.2 degrees below average. The warmest temp recorded was 93.3 degrees on the 4th. Averaged low temp was 64.2 degrees vs a normal of 62.8 degrees, a +1.4 degrees above average. The overall averaged temp was 74.0 degrees vs a normal of 73.4 degrees, a +0.6 degrees above average. The total rainfall for the month was 4.50 inches vs a normal of 4.01 inches a +0.49 inches above average. The greatest rainfall was on the 21st with 1.07 inches. There were 16 days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 12 dry days. There were 3 days with winds above 25 mph, with the highest wind happening on the 21st and 22nd at 26 mph. Three new records were set, a new daily rainfall on the 21st, a new record high on the 4th and a new 'warm minimum' set on the 19th. A very hot start to the month, with average to slightly below average the rest of the month and finally a month with above average precip.

I'm in the same boat as you, wooded forest surrounding the house creating shade. The Flood brands DO just as good a job as the expensive stuff, IMO. I've used them for years, and about every third year I'm redoing the process, just at a cheaper price point.

Another spectacular morning here. Currently 55.1/53.9 after a 54.2 low.

Well.... my sunny early morning has gone partly to mostly cloudy?? The forecast is 100% sun today. Glancing at satellite you can see the clouds filling in over the area from WV. I'll blame the NW flow.

And just checking, Canaan NWR got down to 38!

Absolutely wonderful morning here! Clear skies and 58.1/57.0 with a light W wind at 2 mph. Yesterday's high was 77.4 with NW winds and partly cloudy skies, a great day to be outside doing stuff. Today is looking like a repeat.

Sun just popped out for a few minutes here, and up to 77.6/71.1, muggy!! Just got split by the first line, and with two tornado warnings close by i am happy about that.
