We were fortunate as it appears we didn't have
any damage, but many in the Wash, DC region have - there's a lot of
flooding (and River flooding hasn't begun yet as Sandy's heavy rains
upstream still need to travel down our rivers). The rains here in the Washington, D.C. area are not over, however, and more is expected today.
So far, we've received
about 7.5" of rain so far and the winds were strong but not hurricane
force last night, so we maintained power.- That's likely because of all
the tree trimming and securing of cables and lines after the Derecho in
June.
