Well, with the storm that just blew through, I'm hearing about 40-50 trees are down in my neighborhood and there are intermittent power outages. I was going to go to the gym tonight, but I just got an email that it's closed due to the power being out there, too. This is the Shirlington/Fairlington area of Arlington, for those in NoVa.

I'm really glad I had them take down the big shady but diseased tree behind my building.

We've got another severe thunderstorm warning in effect right now. I heard there were tornado warnings in some parts of the area from the first storm. I hope no one was hurt.

I was out riding my bike last night and got caught in the rain briefly, but thankfully it was not nearly this severe and there wasn't even any thunder or lightning.

This has been a crazy weather year...I wish it would calm down.
