Suitland, Camp Springs, Branch Ave, or whatever you want to call the area... power is still out. Ugh

[samus i am]

I was working in U street when it happened. The basement of my job flooded but that was it. When I got home to Arlington all the lights were on, so we're all good here.

[Kaako]

Am I alright? Fuck no I'm not alright because due to this crazy storm our whole data center site went down and we got hit with a major shitstorm. Breathe in, breathe out...

[jfoul]

shits getting crazy here on the east coast :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVEPvXBEOSE

Rofl, I lost it at "It is going to be deflected, by Godzilla."

Was watching a movie with friends at the time of the storm and one of my buddies got a call on his cell, turns out his job wanted someone to go to 12 of their sites spread out across MD to check on their hardware. He was on the road all night.

Power came back about 15 minutes at my mom's. Hope it hold through the day.

Brandywine here, woke up at 7am with power.

[luxarific]

Alexandria here. Power went out around 11 and has stayed out.

[Tobor]

Still no power here in central VA. Fuck!

[GotEmRunnin]

we got a lot of wind down here in Raleigh NC, but nothing more than that. Still hot as hades outside right now.

[VanWinkle]

We still haven't heard any update about the power situation in Parkersburg WV. Its not looking good though. I'm using up my laptops battery to charge my phone right now. My car has a couple of USB ports but I don't want to turn the car on just for that. At least not yet.

Supposed to get up to about 105 degrees today, too. :(

[double jump]

Still no power here in central VA. Fuck!

wow, I had no idea it was this bad. Guess I'm lucky to still have power then.

[sfedai0]

Great, I have to go to my mom's to haul all her frozen goods to my place until power is restored.

[double jump]

Supposed to get up to about 105 degrees today, too. :(

yeah bros try to stay cool. Times like these I don't miss living in the woods where it's the last place they fix the power.

[Cowie]

I have power here in Fairfax, I imagine I'm pretty lucky ( we saw some flickers last night.)

however, is anybody else's cell reception shit right now? I dunno if it's related, but I don't typically drop calls right in the middle of my apartment..

[ReiGun]

East Baltimore here. I slept through all of this shit, and didn't even lose power. I wake up, and everyone is online talking about losing power and other shit. One of my homeboys hit me up saying the storm was kinda badass.

[RiderKairuu]

I live in Northwest Baltimore and we got hit pretty hard :( still no power.

[Cursed Frogurt]

They had to delay day 3 of Tiger Woods' golf tournament because of what the storms did to the golf course last night (Maryland). Huge trees down etc

[JasonS]

Power still out in Howard too, and my phone's about to die. Hope it starts running before it heats up to 100 again. Not the best day..

[ShinAmano]

Strong winds and a bunch of lightning here in Richmond.

I took this last night:

[SailorDaravon]

Southwest VA here, I guess we must be really lucky, except for some brief flickers we didn't lose power last night, and still have it this morning. Internet is down (Cox) but that's it. Supposed to get over 100 again today and stay in the 90s for a couple more days after that, this is the kind of weather people die in with no ac/electricity :( Stay safe GAFers!

[Dedication Through Light]

My power is still out since 10, so I guess 12 hours now, come on blacksburg, va...

[Nista]

Up in Hunt Valley it was crazy last night. At first I thought someone had jumped the gun and was shooting off fireworks. Then the storm started and power went out.

Wake up this morning and power was back, but all my deck furniture was all over the place. guess I'll need a new umbrella.

[dabig2]

My power just came on about 15 minutes ago after more than 12 hours of outage (been out since around 9:30 last night).

[coopolon]

West Baltimore, no power. Lost it about 11 last night, called and reported it right away. Still no power and they won't even give an estimate for when they will repair it.

Thank god for public libraries with air conditioning and open wi-fi. The Catonsville branch got their power back half an hour before I showed up so that was pretty lucky.

I'm surprised the Sun isn't speculating about the heat/loss of power. It seems like conditions are ripe for some old people to die because of lack of power.

It was pretty crazy last night though. I thought for sure there was a police car outside my house with their lights on but it was just constant lightning flashes.

[Riggs]

Ha what the hell did I just watch? I love his stare at the camera right at the end. Perfecto!

[Spat_triate]

It's expected to hit 105 today so I hope those who lost power go somewhere cool today (like the mall). Stay safe fellow Marylanders.

[Kylarean]

Lost power last night around 9:45pm in WV. Was still out around 1am. Was back on when I got up at 8am. Gotta pick up a ton of branches and trees out of my back yard.

[RedSwirl]

Storm got pretty bad over here in Northern VA. Power flickered out about 10 times last night but I think the worst passed over us by midnight. I got lanterns set up all over the place for tonight and tomorrow night though. Friends are already out of power in this heat though. Don't know what they're gonna do without A/C.

[Khalifa Jayy]

All my favorite websites were down last night (Fitocracy, MyFitnessPal), so I learned about this without wanting to. Hope everyone is OK!

[AlexMogil]

We've had a lot of trauma in Parkersburg WV. No power in the county pretty much. I've been working at the hospital since the power went out just trying to maintain services. Somehow or another they got full power back to the buildings, so to me that means they are working toward solutions.

We've had some deaths in the ER because of this. :(

[params7]

Is Atlantic City closed for visitors? State of emergency is declared there.

[TxdoHawk]

Is Atlantic City closed for visitors? State of emergency is declared there.

Sounds like it from what I heard, unlucky them. North NJ completely missed this, it's just hot.

Upper NW DC update:
Took a walk around my neighborhood, seems like half the homes (including myself) still have power. Trees are down all over, the fire department is going through my neighborhood clearing the streets block by block of downed power lines. My neighbor's house came within 3 feet of being hit directly by a falling tree, thankfully all it did was pull down some gutters and roof tiles and landed in the yard. Tree took out her power line too.

Even those that do still have power, Comcast phone/internet seems to be down neighborhood wide. (verizon gods shine upon me today)

[Baconbitz]

I took a walk outside. A lot of Debree all over the place.

Might want to clean that up, no one needs to see that

[MooMoo]

Silver Spring, MD and still no power. Pretty much lost it the second the storm hit us. And I just know I'll be one of the last people to get power back since that's what happened during the Snowpocalypse and the heat wave last year (or whenever that was). Hopefully it doesn't thunderstorm later today.

[The Abominable Snowman]

Capital City of Virginia here. The count of people who lost power crept up to almost 150K last night, maybe even higher unconfirmed. My lights flickered but didnt go off and they got the amount of powerless folks back down. We were hit by a tornado on Monday for the first time in decades too, and many power stations were still under repair from that.

[Watevaman]

NoVA here. Trees down everywhere in my neighborhood.

[MThanded]

I just drove into Baltimore from Pittsburgh. It was a mess. My gf has power place across tr street didn't. Most lights didn't work.

[Griegite]

The sad thing the forecasters are calling for more storms tonight that could be as strong ad the ones last night. Let's hope that is not the case.

[RiderKairuu]

My family and I are checking in to a motel for the night. Be safe everyone! Looking like it may storm again tonight

[Baconbitz]

Oh, shit. I have to work in that. I work near Crofton.

[Demon Lizardman]

This is some grade A bullshit. Rains about one hour last night and the fucking wind blew trees all over my driveway. I had to saw them up and throw them into the woods. Power is out and it is about 100 degrees outside. Starbucks had a mile long line, power is out everywhere.

[luxarific]

Power is still out here in Western Alexandria. About 11% battery life left and then I'm off to work. Stay safe and hydrated everyone!

[SailorDaravon]

Just found out the city where we live has 65% or more of it's residents without power, we got really lucky. But AEP, Dominion, and Pepco are all saying multi-day outages, so if you don't have power right now you probably need to make some serious plans.

[Aselith]

I'm in WV and the whole area has no power. Parkersburg, WV, Belpre and Marietta, OH. No traffic lights, all stores closed, zero power in the cities and water apparently may be out soon too.

From what I understand it may be as long as five days before power is restored. :/

My office has a generator and it and hospitals are the only thing I've seen with power around here.

Trees down on city streets and houses all over.

I watched a healthy, thick tree get ripped in half by the force of the wind in my backyard.

Pretty crazy.

[Az987]

Near Annapolis. Crownsville to be exact.

Oh cool. My cousin lives in Crownsville.

I have a bunch of relatives without power across MD.

I'm pretty surprised mine didn't go out besides the two flickers last night. I live sort of in the woods so all it takes is a branch hitting a power line and I'm screwed. Or some dumb fuck crashing into a poll... that seems to happen over so often.

In the wooded area and the lights flickered here too.
