Result: 40,000 without power in NC. Trees down everywhere. Our power was out for 3 hours .... came back on just as I parked in the driveway! Guinness was still cold in the fridge! 
Temps hitting the +100 F for the end of the week .... sigh ....  |
We got hit by that line of storms. I signed off and turned the computer off for a while. A lot of folks here lost power, but we were fortunate. I imagine trees are down around here also but I haven't been out to check. Winds were supposedly close to hurricane strength at times.
And, yes, we're back to the heat wave tomorrow.
