All?!


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.

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.

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

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.

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”. !!!!!!!!

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

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