Silver Spring resident here. We lost power at 2:39 according to all of our clocks. But it came back on fairly quickly (thank goodness). The lightening/thunder during the night was pretty spectacular.

I woke to it at 1230, then again sometime later. I'm not far from Duke & Quaker - I'm in Del Ray. I was laying there listening to it when a particularly loud thunder boom half woke DH, who let out a one word expletive. He said he thought he heard a transformer blow, then the power go out. Neither of those things happened, apparently he is still traumatized from last week.

No slept through it like a baby. Glad to find that electricity is still on and no tree fell on the house while I was sleeping, otherwise, you would've heard about me on the news tonight.

Been up since 12. Thinking power is going to go out again and or trees will fall on the house while the baby and I are here alone.

OMG yes!!! My entire house shook violently and I thought for sure it was a bomb. Nothing about it on CWG or WTOP.. Talk about a really bad storm I guess?!

Anyone else wake up to the crazy lightning/thunderstorm rolling through the area at around 0200 and think it was a bomb going off? Gee thanks, Al Qaida!
