Severe Weather across OH

[Pinot's Mom]

It was pretty darned severe in MD too! Pinot and I were hiding in the basement last night. My husband went out this morning and said, the side of the house got power washed - it looks really clean! Seriously, though, it was ROUGH.

Mid Atlantic/Ohio Valley PT'ers - CHECK IN!

The storms weren't bad here in NE Ohio, at least not where I am. I've heard there were a lot of bad storms though. I hope everyone is ok!

Doing fine here in Cleveland - it just pretty much missed us and we didn't get a big storm. It rained for about a 1/2 hour then that was it for the night. However, Columbus did get HIT pretty bad. Trees all over the place, no power there since 4pm yesterday from what I heard. Mike and I were just there this morning/early afternoon so I could do a photoshoot at a really nice park near OSU campus....

I hope power gets turned back on soon! That heat wave is not only horrid but I also fear for seniors and other vulnerable people. PT Prayer - RAIN please!

We lost power at 5 pm Friday afternoon and it came back on 10 am Saturday. Storms were bad, loss of power worse. Some here still dont have power, and its not expected to return until Monday.

Glad for those of you who are reporting in and safe. A friend in the Washington DC area is without power and I just heard on the news it may be a week before it is back in some places. They were headed to a friend's place that had not only electricity, but functional A/C, for which they were very grateful!

Checking in - just got cable and internet back last night. It was wicked here - tons of trees down and siding ripped off houses, etc. We get a lot of protection with woods on 3 sides, so nothing major at this address. Lawn furniture tossed, lots of tree branches down, and the American flag is on the roof with half of the flagpole attached, and the other half of the pole is very bent, but still in the bracket. Power was out for about 5 hours. I had never seen such intense lightening coming from every direction and going on and on for over 2 hours. A real nail-biter!!
