Wow, what a storm last night!
Went to check on the darkening skies and doppler only to find that the power went off, just as the info was coming up. Was about to take cover downstairs! But my daughter, her friend, and I played games by candlelight...

More like counting lightning by candlelight!
Whew! Power didn't return until a few hours ago! Could have been worse. No coincidence with the energies at hand, huh Rick?

Hundreds of thousands still without power in DC/MD/N.VA, and likely will be for days.
