    Turns out 92 mph gusts aren't good for trees. Go figure. That storm was freaky -- the only time I've ever herded the family into the basement.

    joe, you can use my freezer (since it's now empty) but I'm sure anything you had is already spoiled.
    Rural areas? Where you live isn't a rural area?

      I'll have you know we have a stop light! (Actually, it's on a blink cycle overnight).

      We can only hear people shootin' from their porches. Rural is where the porches actually are.

        I wonder how many trees are blocking the C&O Canal towpath. Judging from the end in Georgetown, it must be a mess.

          It's probably a mess. It may have been protected on the northern/eastern side by the sheer density of woodland and the rise, but on the southern/western side it's wide open to the river in many places. My wife runs down there a lot; she can report back.

            Some trees down in the area, fortunately none near me. I'm probably more rural than Ralph, but much less rural than Kepler.

            Got some food into my daughter's fridge/freezer on Saturday, but most of perishables perished in the 37 hour outage. Discovered some food that was in the freezer since the Bush administration. Glad that got tossed. I don't think my beloved bride realized how much old stuff was in there. I THINK I may have convinced her to buy just in time rather than buy it when its cheap and then use it whenever.

            Power came back Sunday at 12 noon, lost it from 1AM-4AM this AM and then got FIOS back some time this morning.

            The outage map was informative, when I could get at it. Weird thing was I have an android smart phone, but the power outage threw the cell phone (Sprint) into roaming with no data.

                              Significant severe weather outbreak for Northeast possible Thursday: NOAA’s Storm Prediction writes - “POTENTIAL FOR A WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND EVENT/DERECHO ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON FROM PARTS OF THE MIDWEST TO THE NORTHEAST.” The area highlighted at greatest risk (the rare moderate risk designation) spans from Ohio through central Pennsylvania and southern New York. The D.C. area, while on the fringe of the lower “slight risk” area, should remain alert as these zones could shift.
