Wild storms went through DC, parts of MD, Virginia, and West Virginia last night. It was pretty impressive. I was awakened by the tortured sound of our power going out, revving back up and then going out again. Hail pounded the window, lightning lit up the room and the thunder seemed to just go on and on. Rocky insisted on dropping me off at my mother's when he went to work. I really wanted to stay in bed but he was right. With the power out our place got really hot and unpleasant. Four people were killed in th storm. May God have mercy on their souls.
