On positive for us here in Hampton Roads is maybe it will help with the swamp fire that has smoke roaming all over Hampton Roads.

Very true on the fire, it gets bad up in Hampton sometimes as you know....We are just sitting here waiting to see what happens. Got the generator gassed up and ready to go. Hope all the HR area peeps do well in this storm.....
 
I'm on Fort Belvoir now and it just looks like another rainy day to be honest with you. We bought some water and charged the laptop and cell phones, but that's about it. Looks like we'll get strong winds, and rain with a chance of power outages.

Best wishes
 
Well, we have experienced our wind shift to the South. We are half way through the storm.

Don't want to jinx us but we still have power! Hope it stays!

Hasn't been too bad so far. Only a few branches down in the back yard. Will take some pics in the morning when we have light!

Hang in there everyone!
 
well we made it through without any big problems. we actually got our worst winds etc about 9:00 pm last night. several huge limbs, no trees, came down. 2 hit the house bu no apparent damage. earlier, about 6:00 pm my son had to go on the roof and chainsaw away a moderate sized one that would have torn up my shingles. we did lose power about 9:00 am. transformer 3 houses down shorted out one lead. the generator has been running since and is powering whole house with minimal load. have had internet the entire time. the cable did go out about 8:00 pm though. thank god were all safe. hope everyone else made it through in good shape also.
 
Well, I shouldn't have mentioned power! Lost it about 9pm or so! No damage that I know of but off to start the generator!

Not exactly how I wanted to spend my Birthday today!
 
Happy Birthday Fred, Not the worst way to spend it either. Be careful as you venture out. I heard one report of person being killed by a falling limb after the storm passed.
Prayers to you all.

Fred as I'm sure you know there are worse ways to spend your b-day, on that note Happy Birthday. Glad it's just power, it will come back on. (some day)
 
Glad everyone is ok, waiting for the photos to start showing up.

Speaking of no power on a bday, on Father's day a few years back we lost power in the morning when the transformer serving our house blew it's fuse. I tried to bbq mini frozen pancakes. There were so bad, the kids are still hoping I NEVER do that again!

From these tough times, occasionally some funny memories get made.
