MN Transplant Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Bunch of small branches down. Fairly equivalent to what I returned to after the derecho. Neighbor across the street lost a solid limb off of their maple. Felt bad for the people out on the soccer field behind my house - they were hanging onto a tent so it didn't fly away and must have just been completely drenched.

andyhb Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 D.C. is about to get smacked, very strong winds being indicated with that line and a confirmed tornado with it, take immediate precautions if you are reading this.

Felt bad for the people out on the soccer field behind my house - they were hanging onto a tent so it didn't fly away and must have just been completely drenched. About the same out here in Fair Lakes few small branches and a ton of leaves, curious to see exactly where the tornado was reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
