ASammy1, thank you for the title. I do try to be the weather alertist for our TE'ers.

Oakleaf, did you bring in your laundry yet before it blew into the next county?

It's finally calm here. This was a nasty storm with stalled thunderclouds, constant lightning and thunder. I was really glad to bid it adieu.

We lost power last night, although the storm wasn't nearly as bad as one we had earlier in the week. Thanks for the updates, Sundial!
