| Saw a power pole split in half. Trees down everywhere. Power out all over. |

| Alexandria looks like a warzone. Big trees and limbs down everywhere. Microburst they say. |

| Took dog down into the basement after looking out the window in Falls Church and seeing the trees bending down almost to the ground and then whipping back up. |

| NW DC looks like a bomb went off, just like 2012. I actually thought to myself as I was doing some yard work this am (had to do it but didn’t want to) “wow, I haven’t been this hot since the Derecho rolled through”. !!!!!!!! |

| I’ve been to 3 groceries stores without power. I know plenty have power but what luck. |

This PP here. Looks like I wasn't overreacting heading into the basement. A house, four doors down, has been essentially bifurcated by a large tree that came down. |

| Our solar panels were partially ripped off of our house. It was bad out there. |

Maybe more like a microburst or a tornado?
I live in N. Arlington and we got a lot of rain and wind. However, just a few blocks over, it is a real mess of fallen trees and power outages, so clearly they had a more intense hit. |

| Too many trees, we got rid of all ours for safety reasons, an added bonus is only having to clean the gutters once a year |

Yeah, I've seen houses like that. So sad. And crazy to me that people who live here will chop down trees rather than demand power lines be buried. |
