Where were you during Irene? In Bethesda where I was during Irene it was a non-event.

VA is a bit south of a lot of the action, I think.

Very windy and heavy rain in Frederick, MD. Lights keep flickering, but so far so good.

Traffic is picking up here too. Less windy than I expected so far.

Ashburn. Underwhelmed here too. No greater intensity than a regular rain storm, just lasting a long time.

Traffic has picked up on our street in VA. No clue where these people are headed but there was a point for a few hours where the road was clear.

Well, it was intense enough to knock out our power.

It's about what I expected in Arlington. Our ceiling is leaking, the windows are rattling, and the power went out before 6. Watching the footage of the Delaware and NJ flooding is really depressing.

Really, where in VA do you live. It's horribly windy here and if it lasts all night, it's going to be ugly with lots of damage.

Sandy does not seem as intense as I expected. What is your experience?
