We have rain here and hard thunderstorms up to 10:00 pm as of now. Everyone please stay safe and be careful. I am in West Virginia.

You're just north of me and we got the same. It seems like the hurricanes/tropical storms that do damage come in Sep and Oct. I do remember when Alicia hit and as I remember is was in the summer, maybe Aug?

Rain part wasn't too bad here, but the WIND yesterday ripped off part of the barn roof and took some treed sown, which took out poles and power lines, which took them til just before noon today to fix. No power for almost 24 hours for my whole neighborhood. Tricky when you are on oxy and use a nebulizer to deliver meds. I had to pack up my machine and drive a ways to get meds this morning at 6 am, because the battery one was already dead, being only good for a couple deliveries, and I couldn't recharge.

I'm glad you got it taken care of popover. We barely had any wind here.

Found out from my sister across the road the weather alert radio sounded a tornado alert during this time and I didn't know because I was outside bringing the cat in from the shop. I had her out there while some workers were here to replace a ceiling that was falling. Did't know of possible danger until later.

It only lasted about 10 minutes but it was 60mph straight line wind.
