Maybe, but in the last frame of the national radar it looks like there is just the beginning of an eye beginning to show again.

Lost power here on Mt. Vernon Ave, downed power line, thought for sure it was going to be dark here until tomorrow night.

Dominion stepped up, power is back on.

I think the rain has died down here but the wind is starting to increase steadily.

it's way too heavily weighted to the outer bands at this point. there might be some convection at the center but it's not going to do much until it transitions and by then it should be weaker anyway. however plenty of models brought it up north quite deep so it will be interesting to see how much it can more or less hold its own. downgrade should be coming sometime soon still...

Richmond is actually farther west than DC, surprisingly. If it gusted to 71, isn't that a sign DC could also experience similar gusts?

Probably not to that extent, the gradient actually isn't all that tight yet compared to what is progged after 11PM on the NAM.

No. Richmond is closer to the center of the storm than DC will ever be.

Just did a "Hurricane 5K" with a buddy and the 'hood is okay so far.

Also, can folks put their locations in their sigs? Or is there a reason for not?

I think they were turned off I profile to conserve resources.. Which is why they are missing at least.

I don't really want to go out in the rain. Heard a moaning at first, then a really loud cracking sound and then a huge thud and deduced that a tree had fallen. I'll try to take&upload pics in the morning.

But I really need to see!
