I was at work - when the storm hit, it turned pitch dark, then rained so heavily you couldn't see out of a window -- and the rain was swirling in a circular motion. We were quite apprehensive about this rotation.
Fortunately it roared by, leaving minor flooding and lots of downed trees & branches. Fortunately our power stayed on.
Whew!

That may be it. It's just reaching us now, and we have a rare (for us) Tornado Watch from now until 11:00.
