That's not bad. I've had a couple minor power outages, from what I'm hearing the brunt of the storm is expected to hit my area between midnight and 3 am.

My power has flickered a few times, but holding strong right now. Finger's crossed. I've got the next few days off. Would suck to be without power.

You guys are pretty well inland and the real mustard of the wind speed will be spent as it came over the coast before it got to you.......your lucky as some of those people will be out of power for some days to come as power companies must clear the lines of tree before the lines can be replaced and the power restored.

We have had high winds and drenching rain here, but the power has only flickered once. I was supposed to work today until 3 PM due to an emergency at the plant, but they sent us home at lunch-time because of the detereorating weather conditions...

My house is cursed. Lost power for about 5-6 hours until 10:44 to night. The worst part? Most of the other houses around me except for two others had power just fine. WTF? This is in PG County near UMD.

That's pretty random. You had previous problems with the power going out to your house?

Well, this is the first time that this particular pattern happened. Last night, the neighbors FINALLY got knocked out, but then they got it back while my house and those other two STILL don't have power. The wiring of the lines must be funky or something. I'm sure there are more houses affected, but I must say, the lines are wired in such an unlucky manner for me.

bored. pretty crazy when you see it on a bigger screen than your phone, that house is f-ed. how close was this to your place?

Ruhskins · 08-28-2011, 12:17 AM

Rain coming down pretty hard and it is very windy here in Columbia, MD. I think (and hope) this is the worst of it. I think the lights flickered a bit, I hope power holds. I have a flashlight with me just in case. I hope everyone is safe.

Hog1 · 08-28-2011, 08:41 AM

How did all fare the night? I guess we'll determine who still has power?

saden1 · 08-28-2011, 09:00 AM

Lights flickered but I sill have internet and power....nothing major happened in McLean area...well, my neighborhood part of it looks pristine.

Whoa whoa whoa. I thought you're in Seattle? ???

mlmdub130 · 08-28-2011, 09:08 AM

i don't know how the area is as a whole but at my house in woodbridge the power never flickered and it never got to be anything i was really worried about. my wife said there were strong winds during the night that kept her up at some points during the night. but this morning there are still some of those flimsy ass election signs still up in our neighbors yard, so i'm guessin they weren't that strong

JoeRedskin · 08-28-2011, 09:25 AM

We had a lot of rain and some strong winds. The worst came while we were asleep in the midnight - 3:00 a.m. time. We lost power twice for about 5-10 minutes each time. Lots of water leakage, but no flooding.
