Got rocked.  If anyone sees my patio umbrella let me know, last seen flying east towards towards the Potomac river.  Large 4” diameter branch from our sweet gum tree currently in the front yard, neighbors basement flooded, all from .82” of rain in about 15 minutes.  Wind gust estimated probably over 60mph.  Miraculously power remains.   @H2O how did you fair, looked more intense over your way. 

Sorry for the late reply. Sadly I missed out on the seeing the storm hit due to other reasons but could hear it.  Family reported that we had a huge wind gust and lost power because of it.  Was out for about 2.5 hours.  Kids saw a sweet rainbow and sunset sky after that was awesome.  

 

Speaking of trees, my mom's hood in annandale was smacked from the storms on Thursday.  A huge 30" poplar fell across the road taking out power lines.  That was 8pm thursday.  Dominion didn't show up until yesterday afternoon so a full 18 hours later.  They worked on things but the storms last night knocked power out for a larger area surrounding my mom's house.  She didn't get power back until 2am.  So a full 30 hours w/o power for an 85 year old and no a/c.  And dominion wants to merge to make more money.

Ugh!  No fun!  That had to be miserable for her on Friday!  As I get older my excitement for severe weather is drastically waning!  I only root for snowstorms now!

 Well I don't mind the drought because I don't have to cut an acre of lawn every week. But I do miss the rain cause  the grass is looking more brown then green

So drought is ok because you loathe mowing, but you miss the rain because the grass is brown. I think this is a 'you cant have it both ways' deal.
