smokeybandit Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Only damage we had was a small broken branch, a toppled tomato cage and a wind chime that got shredded. Had I not followed the storm and just fallen asleep, I'm not sure I would have noticed. Which is strange compared to all the other reports right near by.

NaoPos Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 i dunno. no car makes it tricky. walking anywhere midday wouldnt be fun. im sure it'll be alright. hopefully it comes back. tho i guess pepco is refusing to make estimates on timing. NOt sure how they would manage it seeing as that the same threat exist AGAIN today. Might just work on securing the more highly populated areas. Just both of ya's stay hydrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 im kinda worried about the dog if my ac half of the power doesnt come back. After Irene we had to take the dog to daycare almost everyday without power so he wasnt home alone with no power/ac while we were at work. Got a friends place you can go to with the dog? The gf?

snowfan Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Rte 3 corridor in the crofton area is a cf. Lights out at almost every major intersection, police blocking people from making turns, lots of trees and big branches down, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Cousin was camping last night near Harpers Ferry,WV. Barely escaped with his life. Tree crushed his car.....happy he's unscathed. We're all in Princeton,NJ to celebrate his mom's birthday (60th). Nothing up here at least that awakened us but it sounds pretty severe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 9:45 am, close to 11 1/2 hrs. without power the power is back on! Hope it comes back on for those who are still without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 is this something typical where "half" your power goes out? have you at least confirmed the breaker the AC is on didn't trip or something? we very rarely lose power. i was bragging about that last night when out waiting for the storms with kevin ambrose. though i definitely got a sinking feeling watching the horizon lighting up in multiple colored lights from transformers as the storm was coming in. i believe it did happen once before. im not sure how it works as it's peculiar to me but basically all the outlets/lights/etc in the center of my condo are out which includes the a/c unit. as noted we have a listserv and it seems like most people in the complex have the same issue. nothing is tripped and others have tried resetting the breakers. though i have managed to lose AC almost every time it's gotten to 102+ since i've moved here as our outdoor cooling unit that feeds the interior units tends to fail in high heat.

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 61 mph gust reported last night at Winchester; don't recall ever seeing higher. thankfully, temp dropped from 86 to 73 in under 20 minutes when the storms came through. Incredibly, it was a really nice 63F this morning. Not much damage around my house - my grill was blown across my patio, eventually blown off, and severed the gas line - however, I've heard of lots of tree damage in Rappahanock county, and around Handley high school in Winchester. Wild night. We lost power many times throughout the storms, but luckily it came back on. Sympathies to all those who are without power. Hope it is back on soon.

nw baltimore wx Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Sitting here listening to an AM radio like its 1960 and a power spokesperson said that "the damage to infrrastructure is catastrophic." It may be awhile for a lot of folks to come out of the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 i was inside for most of the june 4 08 event and maybe for that reason it didnt seem horrible at my location. one thing with last night was how long the winds kept coming. usually in a svr storm you get a short pulse, but this lasted for a good 10-15 minutes plus--albeit with shorter periods of the most intense winds. i was amazed at how white capped the tidal basin got. waves were actually coming up over the sides.

Kmlwx Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I would venture a guess that there will be isolated folks (even without storms today) that will be without power for a week+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlo Snow Maker Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I was at the pool cooking Boston butts when it hit. Mostly a wind storm here numerous tables and chairs went flying into the pool, that was about it we only got .10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Got out this morning to find even more damage. Still most of the city is without power currently. Saw a couple of stoplights on metal beams actually bent and twisted and some metal wrapped around a tree. Its going to be awful today without any ac aswell as a chance of another round coming.

Bob Chill Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 My neighborhood got smacked pretty good. Plenty of trees down and some damaged homes. I'm gonna go out with the camera later. I don't expect power back until sometime tomorrow at the ealiest. New generater rig is doing well but no ac today will leave a mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
