I am over the moon happy with the storm I got here. All I wanted was a good amount of rain. It has been so dry over here and while I will miss that extra stuff coming out of WV I got 1.57” out of that line. My grass and flower beds bow down to the storm gods in praise. And for a bonus got some decent wind, thunder and lightning. One strike was well after the line had moved past. Now I just need a storm at night. Sorry to see that some had major damage or lost power. I hope that the clean up and time without goes quick.

My house is good but neighbor lost their shed and trampoline. I think the worst was just north of us. Glad you made it home ok.

My house is mostly ok. Some minor roof damage. Pool is wrecked though. Wind threw a glass table from the patch into it and the glass ended up shattered in the pool. Lost some big trees. I’m going to have to take down what’s left of the big tree next to the house in the back. It’s too damaged. That was our shade. But all in all lucky. There are some houses in much worse shape that I saw.
