Strong Storms

Last night we had quite the line of storms roll through.  The storms were 250 north-to-south, and they traveled a total of 600 miles.  At the front of the storm, winds were estimated to be 70-80 mph.  So when we saw that headed our way at about 10:00 last night, we were on alert.

I think we lucked out in that we didn't get the strongest winds where we live.  We also lucked out because we didn't lose power (amazing!).  This morning we went on a walk around our neighborhood to see the damage...and there really wasn't much to see.  Within a two-block radius of our house, we found three larger branches down, plus twigs and leaves were scattered all over.

Based on what we have seen on the news, we got lucky here in Germantown.  It looks like closer to DC and down in Virginia, they had stronger winds which knocked down huge trees.
