What a storm!

Post by markc »

In all the time I've been in the east (MD, NY, CT), I hadn't yet seen a true midwest-style thunderstorm like those of my youth blow through. Until last night! Was that intense or what? I can't believe how quickly it was moving: One minute I was taking the glider off the truck (couple flashes of lightning, a rumble of thunder), and then the next minute all h*ll broke loose (glider inside, fortunately!).

Power went out immediately as the gust front tore through. Looked around the neigborhood a bit this morning and saw some large-ish trees down, some houses and cars damaged.... Hopefully nothing more than property damage.

My brilliant plan of heading in to work to charge up my laptop, get some work done, stay cool, etc isn't working thus far : Can't get into my stupid building on the NIH campus. But I'm off to the loading dock next! ;-)

How's everybody else fairing?
