Severe T-Storm Watch In Effect

[BOP]

BOOO-YAH! That one was almost on top of us! Less than 3 seconds from lightning to BOOM!!!

I did find out my stove shuts off when the power goes off, even for a micro-second. It's a gas stove with electronic pilot light. I don't like much, but I don't like that.

Hard to scare me here. Son and daughter called to warn me. Welcome to my world.

Sun coming back out now but still lightning and thunder.

I'll talk when the next hurricane hits. Or not. lol

 

[BOP]

Also: it's been coming down like a cow peeing on a flat rock.

 

[BOP]

I lost a couple of branches and clumps of leaves.

You'd think the trees wouldn't have any branches left, the way they shed.

Yes it did. Now I'll open my doors back up. Woohoo

 

[BOP]

Damn...power's off.

Have I ever mentioned how much I DESPISE SMECO? No? Well, I do. Hate them with the passion of a 1,000 blazing suns.

 

[BOP]

Gotta shut down for now. No telling when the power will come back.

It was over in 5 minutes.

 

[Sneakers]

Not much rain in spite of the downpour, only .3".

Good luck BOP. I will say though that the SMECO Linemen are awesome and will be on it.

 

[DoWhat]

Over 14,000 out.

Again, the Linemen will be on it. Maybe all night. Those men deserve a raise for what they do. My humble opinion.

 

[RoseRed]

I have power and internet. Even though I received an outage text for my area from Breezeline.

 

[General Lee]

There was some kind of micro burst that came through my area. I got trees and tops of trees down. Debris everywhere.

Son was in Mechanicsville when he called me. He said 7 foot part of a tree down on 235. He was warning me to close up.

Yeah, it went off here in Sandgates too.

Still out?

 

[PrchJrkr]

Still out?

It is here in Abell. I rode out just as it beared down on us. By the time I got to Bushwood Wharf, people were fishing from the pier. I rode around and drug limbs out of the roads between there and Coltons Point, including the side roads. My "fiancé" questioned why I was out in the thick of it.

 

[Kyle]

Still out?

Came a little while ago.

Their original estimate was four hours so I was thankful it took less.

I just had a brief brown out.
